All weapon buffs and nerfs in MW2 & Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded ActivisionWarzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded is here and there a few more changes to the weapon pool. So, here are every buff and nerf affecting Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 weapons. Over the last few seasons of Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward have been making a whole lot of changes to the weapon pool in order to keep things fresh and allow a healthy meta to form. They’ve continually targeted the Cronen Squall for nerfs, lifted up the SMGs and LMGs in Warzone 2, and added minimum armor damage values to shake things up. The Squall is still a go-to for many players, but there are plenty of weapons in a viable position these days. With the start of Season 5 Reloaded, the CoD devs are bringing in the Lachmann Shroud SMG and 9mm Daemon Pistol as new weapons – as well as the Pickaxe, which is a melee weapon. Plus, there are a few weapon changes to get your head around. All Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 weapon changes in Season 5 Reloaded That’s right, Season 5 Reloaded sees the devs making some changes that are split between Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. Some weapons have gotten Warzone 2-specific changes like the M4, Cronen Squall, and Sakin MG. In the case of the Cronen, all of it’s multipliers have been decreased including head and neck shots. The M4 has seen it’s close and close-mid range damage profiles increased, however. Another welcome change sees all launchers having their damage against players being nerfed. So, you may just be able to breathe a sigh of relief when you hear an RPG coming your way.
