All weapon buffs and nerfs in MW3 & Warzone Season 4 Reloaded
The halfway point of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 4 is here, as we’ve now got Season 4 Reloaded – and it includes some big buffs and nerfs for popular guns.
At the start of Season 4, longtime Call of Duty and Warzone fans were overjoyed that theKAR98Kwould be returning to the game. The rifle dominated the early days of the battle royale and is synonymous with the glory days of Verdansk.

However,it didn’t take long before the sentiment flipped as players grew tired of the KAR’s poweranddomination over the metawhen paired with theSuperi 46 SMG. While some players have tried to run a few different weapons, it is that duo that gets the job in most lobbies these days.
Well, the Modern Warfare 3 devs confirmed that the KAR would be going under the knife in Season 4 Reloaded by receiving a nerf, and now we know exactly what they’ve done – nerfing the Max Damage Range and Bullet Velocity.

Additionally, the Kar’s aim assist has also been nerfed as the devs have brought it in line with sniper rifles.
On the flip side of things, a number of SMGs and Assault Rifles have been buffed. That includes the Rival-9, FJX Horus, BAL 27, and MCW.

There is good news for adopters of the MTZ-556. The AR, which was tipped to become the best gun in Season 4 Reloaded, has had its bullet velocity buffed.
As ever, some of these changes are only going to take hold in Warzone, while others are specific to multiplayer. So, be aware of that when you’re making changes to your loadouts.
