New Call of Duty: WWII Update Nerfs Overpowered Weapons, Fixes Zombies

A new patch that’s gone live for Call of Duty: WWII makes more than a few changes to the multiplayer component and includes several bugfixes for Nazi Zombies.

The patch notes for the latest update were released yesterday, but it unfortunately looks as though it’s causing other problems while attempting to resolve bugs and balance issues. After the update, many players are reporting difficulties even getting into games, let alone completing a match without stuttering or having other issues.

But until multiplayer gets sorted out, you can still play the campaign or Nazi Zombies by yourself, the latter of which had the following changes included in the most recent patch:

COD:WWII NAZI ZOMBIES UPDATES:

• Zombie Map Exploit Fix – clipping into a zombie spawn closet using revive mechanic in Laboratory
• Fixed Klaus pathing
• Fixed out of world exploit – The Final Reich

For those still bent on tearing up some multiplayer, check the notes below to make sure your favorite weapons are still viable after the nerfs and buffs:
