One new Call of Duty: Warzone The update is here with a much-needed fix for a frustrating failure. O new patch also brings some balance changes to the game, including more DMR-14 nerfs.
Stim’s infinite failure allowed players to gain infinite use of Stim tactical equipment, which quickly regenerates health, just dropping the weapon while cooking a grenade. This simple activation process meant that the failure was easily repeatable, so that anyone who wanted to could use it without any problems. Fortunately, with this fix, the flaw must be gone forever.
The patch also brings another round of nerfs to some of the rifles that have dominated War zone the past few weeks. The nerfs’ biggest target was again the DMR-14, which survived last week’s attacks and managed to remain the best weapon in the game without much trouble. In this patch, Raven held the weapon more tightly, greatly reducing damage over longer distances and making its retreat even more relentless.
The patch also overrides the Type 63, which received some adjustments last week. The Type 63 is basically the younger brother of the DMR-14, so it reduced its damage from a distance as well, just to make sure it couldn’t easily replace the other rifle in the finish line.
For a complete overview of the changes that came with this latest patch, you can check out the full patch notes, which were originally posted by Raven Software in a Twitlonger post.
