After several balance patches and nerfs, the guns have gone through work to be effective in a battle royale environment. TheseCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warpatches ripple through theWarzonecommunity, and this new set of nerfs may have been a tad too harsh.

In a shooter likeCall of Duty: Warzone,it is important to use the strongest gear available.

In a series of tweets,Call of Duty: WarzoneYouTuber JGOD breaks down the recentnerfs toCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warattachments and guns. With several suppressors seeing a reduction in barrel velocity, some weapons are losing range as a sacrifice to their silenced shooting.Call of Duty: Warzonefans have long requested that theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warsuppressors competitively match theirModern Warfarealternatives, but this nerf has taken them even further into an unplayable state.

Interestingly, many of theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warattachmentshave received a buff along with a nerf. Now several attachments are matching what their description says they do, allowing for more predictability in theCall of Duty: Warzoneenvironment. XM4’s Extended, AK 47 Liberator, and the Agency Suppressor for the RPD have all been adjusted to match their effect on bullet velocity and other stats.

Despite several positive changes,Call of Duty: WarzoneYouTuber JGOD points out that 4x and 20x scopes are still available without a glint effect. This means thatseveralCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warsnipersare able to shoot undetected without having to worry about lens glint giving away their position.

While many of the changes were requested by theCall of Duty: Warzonecommunity, the guns are now in a worse state than before. It is unknown exactly what will happen in the meta, but some players theorize a major shift back intoModern Warfareweaponry. WithCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warintroducing two new weapons, hopefully, this attachment shift does not bring down their initial impact on the in-game battle dynamics.
