All weapon buffs and nerfs in Call of Duty: Warzone Season Two

Warzone's developer follows through with its promise of tweaking dozens of weapons and attachments.

As Call of Duty: Warzone’s second season was delayed in order to focus on fixing several bugs and gun balances issues, the end result has clearly been the adjustment of just about every Vanguard gun in the battle royale. Although many base weapons remain untouched, a significant number of their attachments have been either nerfed or buffed.

In terms of base weapon buffs and nerfs, Vanguard’s Machine Pistol and Top Break are the only two weapons to receive an increase in their damage stat. Meanwhile, submachine guns, such as the MP-40 and Welgun, have been given nerfs that decrease their maximum damage and mid-damage stat. Lastly, the season also brings a slight increase to the aim-down-sights times of almost all Vanguard snipers.

The biggest changes can be noticed when using weapon attachments. Primarily, there have been a handful of nerfs to barrels that belong to the Cooper Carbine, 3-Line Rifle, MP-40, and DP27. The season’s patch notes also indicate that a majority of all weapon optics have been altered in appearance and behavior, but do not list how this influences ADS times.

Here is the full is of weapon and attachment adjustments made in Season Two of Call of Duty: Warzone.
