Warzone weapon changes
Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 5 is finally here and there is another round of big weapon changes that will absolutely shake up the meta.
Over the last few weeks, the Modern Warfare 3 devs have been making some big changes to the massive arsenal of weapons in the game. Warzone has especially been hit by these changes, with thedominant KAR98K being knocked off its perch in Season 4.
Players have been calling for further changes since then, with many believing thatthe metahas gotten stale.
The Superi 46, which had been paired with the KAR98K for a while, has been one of the biggest culprits of that. And, well, fans of the battle can celebrate as the SMG has finally been brought down a few notches.
In the biggest change for Season 5, the devs have hit the SMG’s movement speed in a big way. It is joined by the FJX Horus, which has also been a key part of the meta, as the SMG has also had its damage ranges nerfed.
The Holger 26, another top meta option, has seen it’s torso damage modifier also tweaked.
On the flip side of things, the Bas-B and BAL-27 have seen some interesting buffs. There also a handful of MW2 weapons including the Minibak, M4, and Vaznev-9K that have also been shown some love and could become viable contenders.
As ever, some of these changes are only going to take hold in Modern Warfare 3’s Multiplayer modes, while others are specific to Warzone. So, make sure you take that into account when adjusting your loadouts.
