All weapon buffs and nerfs in MW2 & Warzone 2 Season 1 update ActivisionThe Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 1 update added a long laundry list of weapon balancing. Here\u2019s a breakdown of every nerf and buff included. After just under a month of leaving up and testing every gun in Modern Warfare 2, the game\u2019s meta is beginning to slowly take shape. The Kastov-74u, M4, and SP-R 208 emerged as early front runners for best weapon, but the jury is still out. We took a crack at ranking MW2\u2019s best weapons and provided a loadout for each gun. The meta will continue to evolve, especially as players discover what weapons work best in Warzone 2. Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2\u2019s first major weapon-balancing patch nerfed the game\u2019s top weapons while giving some much-needed boosts to other forgotten guns. Most significant weapon buffs and nerfs One of the most significant changes made is an increase in long-distance flinch on all Assault Rifles SMGs, and LMGs. The Kastov-74u, M4, STB 556, and SP-R 208 all received much-needed nerfs but nothing that will completely take them out of the game\u2019s meta. Players should have less to fear when going up against a Kastov-74u or STB 556 in close-quarters combat. While the FSS Hurricane, PDSW 528, and M16 received buffs to help bring them in line with other offerings. The M16 got a massive overhaul to its rate of fire, ADS movement speed, strafing speed, and recoil reduction.
