Call of Duty: Warzone has just undergone a major update that nerfed almost all the meta weapons since the launch of the new map. With the brand new Modern Warfare 3 integration, the CoD battle royale has experienced a rise of new meta weapons. With the Bas-B dominating in almost every range and the DG-5.56's massive damage output, a major part of the community has been complaining about overpowered weapons hampering gameplay.
In this brand-new update, Activision has nerfed all the meta weapons, and surprisingly, the patch note doesn't feature a single buff in Warzone guns. To learn more about the weapon changes in the CoD battle royale, read below.
