Kar98K set to be nerfed in MW3 and Warzone

The Kar98K, a marksman rifle known for its range, has been a top choice for players while dealing in long-range combat. However, it will reportedly be nerfed soon in both MW3 multiplayer and Warzone, as announced by Sledgehammer Games in a Reddit reply and put forward on X by @ModernWarzone.

While the specifics of the nerf are yet to be fully revealed, Sledgehammer Games has hinted at possible adjustments. These could likely include lowering the Kar98K's damage at specific ranges, slowing down its ADS speed, and changing the recoil pattern to make follow-up shots more difficult.

It was further announced in the reply that they plan to make the changes in the upcoming Season 4 Reloaded update. Whether the nerf will be carried over to Warzone with the multiplayer of MW3 has not been confirmed yet by the developers.

Sledgehammer Games has promised to keep monitoring the performance of the weapon and will further make adjustments if necessary. While this Kar98k nerf announcement has sparked mixed reactions within the MW3 and Warzone communities, players must also not forget to prepare for the shift in meta in the developer’s attempt to create a balanced gameplay experience in MW3 and potentially Warzone.
