Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 Reloaded Update Rebalances Weapons, Patch Notes Revealed
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone both got refreshed with the Season 2 Reloaded update this week, an update which Activision and Infinity Ward have been teasing throughout the past week or so. New features like another map, more modes, and other additions are a few of the things that have been hyped up recently, though like any big update such as this one, the update came with a set of weapon rebalances, too. A set of patch notes accompanying the weapon balance updates detailed everything that's changed in regards to weapons, attachments, equipment, and more.
The patch notes are lengthy enough for that part of the update, and they're not even the bulk of the Season 2 Reloaded content. You can see the weapon balance patch notes below with the rest of the update detailed here.
