The Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 Reloaded patch notes are now live, disclosing significant game-balancing changes. They include weapon buffs and nerfs, KillStreak changes, bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and more. Weapon tweaks are particularly crucial for maintaining a perfect balance in gunfights and gameplay.

For instance, the Kar98k, introduced in Season 4, quickly gained popularity due to its overpowered attributes, resulting in a high pick rate and neglect of other options, causing imbalance. To address this, developers have implemented a nerf.

This article will cover all the weapon changes introduced in Modern Warfare 3 Season 4 Reloaded.
