A lot of effort goes into maintaining a game like Call of Duty: Warzone, and Raven Software goes into further detail on its website about why the changes were made, and what it's hoping to achieve. Sometimes, it's about making some weapons more viable, and others less so. Hopefully, these changes will result in a more competitive experience!

Call of Duty: Warzone is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game right here.
