The latest update for both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone contains a variety of huge overhauls to many of each game’s most notable weapons. Currently, we’re only a few short weeks away from the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which will likely result in the conclusion of ongoing support for MW2. Until that time, though, Activision has today let loose a major patch for its most recent Call of Duty installment that should alter the meta greatly.ย

Downloadable now across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, this new Season 6 update for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone brings tweaks to virtually all weapons in the game and includes assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, LMGs, and snipers. These changes are mainly tied to effectiveness at various ranges which means depending on the gun, they could have been either greatly nerfed or buffed. Additionally, it’s worth noting that these alterations aren’t uniform across both MW2 and Warzone as each game has instead been balanced individually.ย
