Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Patch Nerfs the 725 Shotgun Again, Changes Other Weapons

Call of Duty: Modern Warfarehas repeatedly attempted to fix theoverpowered 725 shotgunwith nerfs since the game’s launch. The latest update for the game, which should be rolling out to PC, PS4, and Xbox One players throughout the day, represents yet another attempt by Infinity Ward to reign in the 725, and it also makes some changes to other weapons as well.

The newCall of Duty: Modern Warfareupdate nerfs the 725 shotgun by reducing its damage range, significantly reducing its damage range when certain attachments are equipped, and reducing effective damage when firing from the hip. The hip spread has been slightly increased, though, so it’s not all bad news forCall of Duty: Modern Warfareplayers who main the 725 shotgun.
