Welcome, Call of Duty enthusiasts!
It’s always a pleasure to have you back here at the blog. Today, we’ve got a fresh set of Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 patch notes to dissect. If you’re looking to stay ahead of the game, buckle up because we’ve got some important details regarding weapon buffs, nerfs, and a few notable fixes from the latest update—just days after the highly anticipated Season 6 release.
Jump Scares and Accessibility: A Quick PSA
First, let’s address a concern that’s been buzzing in the community: the Season 6 jump scares. With the ongoing Haunting update, you may have encountered jump scares while opening chests or haunted boxes during gameplay. To disable this feature, navigate to your Settings > Accessibility Presets, and toggle the "disable jump scares" option. If you opted into or out of the jump scares accidentally, this setting lets you easily change your preference, bringing back or removing those frightening moments.
Basilisk Handgun Bug: Fixes Already Live
Next up, a critical fix for the Basilisk handgun. This weapon was temporarily disabled due to a glitch that caused game crashes whenever players had it equipped in their loadouts. The good news? A fix has already been deployed! You can now safely equip the Basilisk in both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 without risking a crash.
Official Patch Notes: Weapon Changes and Gameplay Updates
Now, let’s jump into the core patch notes and the major updates impacting gameplay, especially for those interested in the meta and overall weapon balancing.
Multiplayer Changes:
- Infected Mode: The maximum match duration has increased from 5 to 6 minutes.
- MGB Calling Issues: Players using a controller can now properly call in an MGB (nuke), fixing an issue that previously prevented this.
Weapon Updates:
Here’s a breakdown of the significant changes to popular weapons:
- Kastov LSW: Stock attachments have been corrected to display accurate pros and cons in the gunsmith UI.
- Crossbow (MW2): Removal of ADS sight spread makes it more effective for precise players.
- SAB 50: With an increase in the lower torso damage multiplier, this sniper rifle can now score a one-shot kill to the lower torso within its minimum damage range.
For snipers, the Carrack 300 got a nice update with a 33% increase in maximum damage range. This buff makes it more versatile, almost like a marksman rifle.
Basilisk Buff
The Basilisk not only caused issues with crashes but also received a buff to upper leg, lower leg, and foot damage multipliers. If you’re looking to dominate close-quarter engagements, this might be worth experimenting with.
Warzone: TTK Adjustments to Popular Weapons
In Warzone, one of the hottest topics of the week has been the DTI 30.6. Just days ago, it was widely regarded as the best weapon in the game with unmatched TTK and low recoil. However, it received a noticeable nerf in this update, with reductions in its max damage, mid damage, and headshot modifier.
While the DTI 30.6 has been toned down, it remains competitive in the current meta, but other weapons like the BP50, STG, and RAAL LMG are now more viable contenders. In particular, the RAAL LMG underwent significant changes. The headshot, neck, and torso multipliers for the Protean Kit have been heavily nerfed, making it less dominant in the meta.
Weapon Meta Breakdown and Final Thoughts
Overall, the weapon balance in this patch aims to create a more competitive environment. The DTI 30.6 and RAAL LMG are still powerful but are no longer the untouchable choices they were before. Players now have more freedom to explore different loadouts and adapt to the latest changes.
