Across the last few updates, the Warzone 2 devs have put a big focus on changing up the meta and making some big balancing changes to the weapon pool in the battle royale. They opened up Season 4 by nerfing the ultra-dominant Cronen Squall, however, the rifle has come back to prominence despite that. The recent Season 4 Reloaded update also helped the Squall\u2019s case as other weapons were nerfed around it. On July 24, the devs also dropped an additional round of weapon balancing changes, mainly aimed at reducing the damage profile of the akimbo Snakehsot pistols. While that change was rejoiced by players, many questioned why the M4A1 also went under the microscope. Warzone players can\u2019t believe M4 has been nerfed in Season 4 The assault rifle, which has always been viable if not totally meta in Warzone, saw it\u2019s damage multipliers to the torso decrease a little bit. That is, obviously, not the biggest change in the world, but it was enough to set some players off. \u201cWtf did the M4 have to do with this? Weird nerf,\u201d quizzed one fan. \u201cPerplexed how the M4 nerf is supposed to work,\u201d said another. \u201cNO ONE asked for an M4 nerf,\u201d another commented. \u201cLachman may have been a bit excessive and the M4 is weird but everything else is awesome,\u201d added another. Many players didn\u2019t take issue with everything else but continued to question where assault rifles now stand in the meta given this M4 nerf. \u201cLiterally all they had to do was nerf the X13, Squall, and the Shotguns but they need to put their grubby hands on ARs that aren\u2019t even broken, now they basically struggle vs SMGs at range,\u201d said another player. Unless something is completely out of hand, the devs don\u2019t give much reasoning for their nerfs, and it remains to be seen if the M4 will go under the microscope for changes again so soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone 2 players baffled by \u201cweird\u201d AR nerf that nobody asked for ActivisionCall of Duty Warzone players have been left confused by the \u201cweird\u201d nerf to the M4A1 in Season 4 Reloaded as they didn\u2019t quite expect it.
