Call of Duty: Warzone's February 16 update has massively nerfed the TAQ Evolvere LMG. After the last weapon balancing update on February 13, the TAQ Evolvere received a major buff and became the ultimate meta weapon in the CoD battle royale. However, its overpowered status created a rift in the game's weapon balancing.
Hence, the developer has now released a small patch nerfing the TAQ Evolvere heavily. If you want to learn about all the changes made to the weapon in this latest update, read below.
