The highlight of this balance pass is a reduction to the lethality of the FR 5.56 and DG-58. Both Weapons will now require two headshots to kill an enemy with a single 3-round burst fire. Additionally, these changes aim to improve the consistency and viability of Submachine Guns to the intended target for the cl

The update also significantly changed Modern Warfare 3 's frag grenades by increasing their intermediate explosive damage by 15% but decreasing their intermediate explosive damage radius by 22%, making the equipment a stronger tool that requires more throwing accuracy. Warzone received the frag's intermediate damage radius nerf but not the damage buff. The new update also implemented a variety of bug fixes and minor UI improvements, like editing a loadout during a match no longer applying an incorrect class and the MORS now displaying the correct icon in the killf

Player is no longer forcibly swapped to their Primary Weapon upon the destruction of an owned turret.

Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games, and the Call of Duty League are excited to share that we will begin a Weapon Evaluation this week after the success of our previous Map Evaluat

Just like the Holdout challenge, players will be forced to occupy an area infested with aetherium crystals and hold the line against advancing foes - but this time, players will not be inside a building with boarded windows that keep the zombies out. Players will have to operate in the open area, evading and eliminating the horde until the PND device can charge up and detonate the shockw

The best tactics for completing this contract are to either train zombies in the area nearby (run in a repeated loop pattern, grouping all zombies in a controlled chase behind players) or decimate enemies before they can get close . Since proximity affects progress, players will want to stay as close to the PND as possible but will find this contract spawns numerous hellhounds, which can make holding a single position difficult. If players cannot upgrade their damage factor with Pack-a-Punch or aether tools , they should consider using the training tactic, which is much safer, although more time-consumi

Modern Warfare 3 's newest update allows previously banned weapons like the BP50, Holger 556, HRM-9, and others to be equipped in Ranked Play until April 23. Feedback and Tactical Shooter Mission Guide data will determine whether the weapons remain unbanned. As for balance changes, both MW3 and Warzone saw the same adjustments to six weapons. Slight buffs were applied to the MTZ-556, Holger 556, Striker, and MW2 's M16. A slight nerf was applied to the RAM-9 and a more significant nerf was applied to the WSP Swarm, which had its flinch resistance decreased by 81%. Also, the Haymaker's JAK Maglift Kit was nerfed in MW3 only and a common bug causing the MORS sniper rifle's optics to become misaligned was fi

Players will need to maintain proximity to the PND in order for the charging process to maintain progress . If players get too far from the device, the progress bar will begin to move backward , and players will have to work even harder toward completing this contr

The official Call of Duty blog revealed patch notes for the November 21 Modern Warfare 3 update, which features multiple weapon changes for assault rifles and SMGs. Firstly, the Holger 556 assault rifle received nerfs to damage multipliers for head, neck, upper-torso, arm, and hand damage. The Holger 556's sprint to fire time was increased from 210ms to 231ms, so players will notice a slight delay when proceeding to fire the assault rifle directly after sprinting. The FR 5.56 received the exact same sprint to fire nerf as the Holger 556 with the former getting multiple damage nerfs and damage multiplier reductions. What's more, Sledgehammer Games nerfed the DG-58 assault rifle's overall damage and increased the burst delay from 100ms to 12

After showcasing a gameplay trailer focusing on the hugely popular Call of Duty Zombies mode, information surrounding a fresh batch of pre-order bonuses emerged much to the curiosity of players continuing to load into Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone matches. One bonus that has caught the eye of several Call of Duty fans is the Reflect 115 camo, and this is largely due to its unique design. For those unsure, here's how to unlock the Reflect 115 camo in Warzone and Modern Warfare

Treyarch, the studio behind MW3 's Ranked mode, announced earlier this week that Ranked Play would soon begin a test phase to see if additional weapons could be viable in the meta. Before, Ranked Play users almost exclusively equipped weapons like the MCW, Rival-9, and WSP Swarm due to other options being banned or simply not good enough. While a limited selection of weapons isn't anything new to the competitive Call of Duty scene, it seems that Treyarch is trying to improve on this asp
