All weapon buffs & nerfs in Warzone and MW2 Season 4 Reloaded

With each midseason ‘Reloaded’ update, Call of Duty brings in a number of new features to keep Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 feeling fresh, be it with new maps or weapons or balancing certain guns to shift the meta. Here are all the weapon buffs and nerfs in Season 4 Reloaded.

With the constant ongoing nature of Call of Duty multiplayer and battle royale, weapon buffs and nerfs can be paramount to players’ enjoyment of the games, and creating a good, balanced meta is key.

That’s why there’s a constant focus from Warzone devs Raven Software and MW2 devs Infinity Ward to look at the power of their guns with each update and try to make overpowered weapons less powerful, and underused guns more powerful.

With that said, here are all the changes made for Season 4 Reloaded.
