If you have been playing Warzone lately, you are well aware of the goal dominated by DMR 14 – the battle royale game has been completely taken over by the weapon, which takes a maximum of two shots to kill most opponents. Listening to fan complaints, Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War developer Raven Software says it will nerf DMR 14 – as well as several other weapons – in a balance update to be released soon.
“Do not worry! We heard you and a balance update is coming soon to address concerns about DMR 14, Type 63, Mac 10 and dual pistols, ” Raven tweeted today, which should come as a great relief to war zone players who prefer to use weapons other than the designated sniper rifle.
Warzone’s subreddit has been inundated with complaints about DMR lately, complete with videos showing its meta-burst power in action. In fact, the subreddit has now highlighted posts that show incredible plays against DMR – but all comments tend to turn into complaints about the game’s unbalanced state resulting from the rifle’s unique advantages.
Raven has not yet explained exactly how much he is planning to reduce the power of the DMR 14, or even how the input nerf will work.
