We’ve reached the halfway mark in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 2, as we now have Season 2 Reloaded, which brings significant improvements and nerfs to the firearms. What you should know is as follows.
Fans of Call of Duty have always struggled with weapon balancing, and the addition of Warzone in recent years has made matters more difficult. As a result of the battle royale, there is some weapon disparity, which is something that players frequently complain about.
There have been several improvements to weaponry in recent years, some of which are exclusive to Warzone and others that are unique to multiplayer, particularly in Modern Warfare 3. Builds may get more difficult as a result, particularly if you enjoy exploring all aspects of the game.
Now that Season 2 has begun, we may expect more such adjustments, including the removal of some of MW3’s greatest weaponry. What you should know is as follows.
Every weapon update in Season 2 Reloaded for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3
Yes, significant weapon changes are included in the much-awaited Season 2 Reloaded update, which also brings with it a number of new skins, the Research Vessel POI in Warzone, and the multiplayer level Das Haus.
Among these adjustments are the heavily nerfed MTZ 762 and WSP-9, which are both rather popular.
Conversely, there are numerous enhancements available for firearms that have been gaining popularity. This includes the MCW and Holger 556, whose damage outputs have been altered.
As mentioned, some of these adjustments will only apply to Warzone, while others are unique to multiplayer. Thus, keep that in mind as you adjust your loadouts.
