Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 July 30 update patch notes: Superi 46 nerf, COR-45 buff and more

A weapon balancing update in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 is set to shake up the close-range meta after a nerf to the Superi 46 and COR-45 buff.

In the Season 5 update, the Superi 46’s movement, ADS, and sprint speeds were nerfed. As a result, the new Static-HV became a viable option, but most players still preferred the Superi 46 as its impressive damage values weren’t touched.

In the most recent update, Raven Software rectified that oversight by decreasing the Superi 46’s max and mid damage ranges. We expect the Static-HV, WSP-9, and JAK BP50 to be new alternatives.

Meanwhile, the Season 5 update also hammered the COR-45’s fire rate, knocking it out of contention.

The development team acknowledged that the weapon change hurt the weapon too much and promised to make the COR-45 usable again. This update follows through on that pledge and also makes a series of bug fixes.
