Season 6 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone has finally arrived, introducing significant changes to the weapon balance. Below is a summary of all the buffs and nerfs included in this update.
With Black Ops 6 on the horizon, we will see a reduction in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone updates, starting with this last major update of Season 6.
This new update features the beloved Haunting event, marking the beginning of the spooky season. Players can expect to see a range of new skins, including notable characters like Michael Myers and Daryl Dixon, along with other Halloween-themed surprises.
As usual, this update also brings a fresh season of weapon adjustments, featuring a variety of buffs and nerfs.
Before the new season kicked off, there were rumors that the developers would implement significant changes to certain guns from Modern Warfare 2 to enhance their competitiveness.
As anticipated, the M16, TR-76 Geist, and Cronen Squall have seen improvements in their damage profiles and recoil times.
The well-liked BP50 has also received a buff, further solidifying its place in both multiplayer and Warzone metas.
The BP50 is a fully automatic bullpup assault rifle.
Some of these changes will apply exclusively to Multiplayer, while others will affect Warzone. For example, the STG-44 has been nerfed in Multiplayer, and it will no longer achieve a three-shot kill, although this adjustment does not impact Warzone.
As you prepare your loadouts for the new season, be sure to take note of these changes.
The complete list of buffs and nerfs in the Season 6 weapon changes is detailed below.
