Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 July 30 Update Patch Notes: Superi 46 Nerf, COR-45 Buff and More

A recent update to weapon balancing in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 aims to change the close-range meta with a nerf to the Superi 46 and a buff to the COR-45.

Despite the Season 5 update nerfing the Superi 46’s movement, ADS, and sprint speeds, the Static-HV was able to emerge as a viable alternative. However, many players still favored the Superi 46 due to its unchanged impressive damage values.

In its latest update, Raven Software corrected this issue by reducing both the maximum and mid damage ranges of the Superi 46. As a result, we anticipate that the Static-HV, WSP-9, and JAK BP50 will now serve as viable alternatives.

In addition, the COR-45’s fire rate was also affected by the Season 5 update, causing it to lose its competitive edge.

The development team has recognized the detrimental effect of the weapon change and has committed to restoring the COR-45’s usability. This update fulfills that promise and also includes several bug fixes.
