Warzone Patch Notes for Season 4 Reloaded (July 1)

Weapon Adjustments

The Reloaded update of Season 4 may signal the decline of the Krig C as a top choice in Warzone, given its substantial reduction in damage range. This changes the landscape, paving the way for a new strong contender among assault rifles.

Across the board, all firearms from Black Ops 6 have undergone attachment tweaks to align their performance with other options. In contrast, weapons from Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 have received numerous buffs, enhancing weapon diversity. Notably, the Victus XMR sniper rifle has gained the capability for infinite one-shot headshot kills.
