Big changes to the weapon pool and Warzone meta have become staples of any big seasonal update for the battle royale. The devs have continued to add new weapons to the mix as well as making changes to the current arsenal of guns. In Season 5 Reloaded, they made some of their biggest changes to date. Weapons across all categories were tweaked, with some getting specific updates for just Warzone 2 that wouldn\u2019t affect multiplayer in Modern Warfare 2. The Cronen Squall, which has dominated the meta for some time, was naturally hit with another nerf. On top of that, the ISO Hemlock \u2013 which has been a long-standing alternative \u2013 was also nerfed, and players were a little more confused by that. Warzone 2 fans furious with fresh ISO Hemlock nerf That\u2019s right, if you skipped over the patch notes for the new season, the Hemlock saw both its Close-mid damage range and mid-damage range being nerfed in the battle royale. It has totally put the AR in the ground, but, it\u2019s annoyed plenty of players. \u201cBraindead f*cking devs, why would you nerf the Hemlock,\u201d one furious fan said. \u201cWhy the f*ck they gotta nerf my sweet ISO Hemlock for?\u201d asked another. \u201cI don\u2019t get the Hemlock nerf. It already wasn\u2019t that viable except maybe as sniper support,\u201d tweeted another player. \u201cThere\u2019s been far more than 2 nerfs, and there was no reason for this one,\u201d another player commented on Reddit. \u201cSeems weird they nerfed a middle of the pack assault rifle. They seem to really hate on the low recoil rifles,\u201d added another. Other players stated that the Hemlock was already \u201cdown bad\u201d and didn\u2019t deserve to be nerfed like some of its rivals. It is only the early days of the new update, so it remains to be seen if players completely abandon the AR or not. Though, they clearly aren\u2019t happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone 2 players blast \u201cbraindead\u201d nerf to ISO Hemlock in Season 5 Reloaded ActivisionCall of Duty fans have hit out at the Warzone 2 devs for nerfing the ISO Hemlock in the Season 5 Reloaded update, with some calling it \u201cbraindead\u201d to be making any changes at all.
