Warzone and MW3 Sept 19 update nerfs DTIR 30-06 just one day after releasing

Raven Software wasted no time to nerf the new DTIR 30-06 battle rifle before it had a chance to dominate Warzone lobbies, and did the same for the RAAL MG JAK Protean Conversion Kit.

As part of the Season 6 update, Warzone introduced the DTIR 30-06 as a new weapon, and it didn’t take long for the latest battle rifle to become an undeniable long-range meta contender.

Data revealed that the DTIR 30-06 can deal absurd damage with a time-to-kill speed of just 508 milliseconds out to 21 meters, bettering every other automatic gun in the game.

The damage output held strong out to 50 meters, with a TTK of 636 ms, and even at long range, offering a TTK of 763 ms beyond 80 meters. If that wasn’t enough, the DITR 30-06 boasts some of the lowest recoil Warzone has ever seen from a weapon.

Before the battle rifle could take over battle royale matches, Raven Software stepped in and nerfed its max damage, damage ranges, and headshot multipliers. Here is everything you need to know about that nerf and additional changes to the RAAL MG.
