Warzone Jan 11 update: MTZ Interceptor nerf, Snake Shot adjustment & bug fixes

Season 1 Reloaded is almost here, but a balancing pass has come to Warzone with small fixes and nerfs across the board. Here’s everything you need to know coming in the Warzone patch notes.

Since MW3 and Warzone integrated, the latter mode has been dominated by the MTZ Interceptor and the Snake Shot attachments.

On Jan. 11, Raven Software finally addressed both in-game items, with a balancing pass over the damage dealt by them. Aside from those passes, the patch deploys a bevy of bug fixes to hold players over until Season 1 Reloaded arrives on January 17.

Time will tell how these balances impact the game in its current state. For now, here are the full patch notes for Jan 11’s Warzone update.
