Call of Duty confirm R9-0 & Kilo nerfs, BOCW weapon buffs in Warzone ActivisionAnswering the Call of Duty: Warzone community\u2019s prayers, the meta appears to be shifting in Black Ops Cold War Season 1. Raven Software have briefly revealed nerfs to the Dragon\u2019s Breath R9-0 and Kilo 141, alongside buffs to the BOCW gun ranges. For what feels like an eternity to fans, the Dragon\u2019s Breath R9-0 shotgun\u2019s \u201cDoof Doof\u201d has terrorized indoor quarters while the Kilo\u2019s lethality at range has dominated the outdoors. Now, that appears to be changing dramatically as Black Ops Cold War integrates with the Modern Warfare weaponry. Fans of CoD\u2019s popular battle royale were devastated to see zero adjustments to Modern Warfare\u2019s strongest guns in the Season 1 patch notes. Although BOCW\u2019s assault rifles and submachine guns are fun, few considered them potent enough to supplant the current meta. Now, Raven Software\u2019s Creative Director Amos Hodge briefly clarified that the game\u2019s most abused guns have, in fact, been nerfed. And, contrastingly, he confirmed that the BOCW Agency Suppressor attachment has been buffed to match MW\u2019s Monolithic Suppressor. But his tweets have now been deleted, lending uncertainty to the situation until official patch notes arrive. The R9-0 nerf is probably the most demanded change to the game\u2019s weapons since Warzone debuted in March 2020. While developers tried to get the integration for BOCW Season 1 sorted, the meta was left as a flurry of \u201cDoof Doofs\u201d across the map. It was the Origin-12 and then the R9-0 meta, and players quickly grew tired of the shotgun supremacy on Verdansk.

An excellent option with a medium- to long-range optic, the Kilo\u2019s damage at range made it a necessity in Warzone. Hodge confirms that should be changing. In another since-deleted tweet, Hodge claimed that the \u201cWZ specific range buff on the Kilio 141 was reduced\u201d and that BOCW\u2019s \u201cagency suppressor was brought in line with the monolithic suppressor.\u201d If true and the Kilo\u2019s range buff in Warzone is nerfed, then it suddenly becomes much more similar to other assault rifles and is in line with the Grau \u2014 which suffered a drastic downturn in usage due to damage concerns after its range nerf. The gun will still be great for recoil control, but not quite as dangerous. The reason that none of the Cold War guns felt comparable to any of Warzone\u2019s earlier offerings is because no muzzle could match the Monolithic Suppressor\u2019s potency. Now, with the Kilo nerfed and the Agency Suppressor providing perks to range (and possibly some recoil control), BOCW\u2019s assault rifles should be legitimate options on Verdansk. At the moment, it\u2019s unclear which AR will replace the Kilo. It\u2019s not even clear what\u2019s going on with these buffs and nerfs since they weren\u2019t mentioned in official patch notes and have since been deleted. But one can reasonably expect the MAC-10 SMG to erupt in usage as a secondary while players continue to try out BOCW guns like the Stoner LMG and Krig AR as primary weapons in Warzone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
