Warzone dev confirms sniper nerfs coming in Season 3 update ActivisionA Raven Software developer has confirmed that nerfs to sniper and marksman rifles will be arriving in Warzone with the Season 3 update. Sniper rifles have long been a point of contention for Warzone players, and even in the wider battle royale space. When much of the game is about survival and simply trying to get to the end of the match, sniper rifles that can knock you in one hit can be a seriously frustrating thing to come up against. This seems to have only become an even bigger issue in recent months, to the point that many Warzone players are desperate for change \u2014 and it\u2019s finally coming. When the Baka Bros asked Raven\u2019s Senior Creative Director Ted Timmins whether the studio had considered nerfing snipers and marksman rifles, Timmins was honest in his assessment. \u201cWe do plan a meta shift for the snipers for Season 3, I\u2019m happy to say that,\u201d he said. \u201cI think we would all agree it\u2019s long overdue. The sniper meta hasn\u2019t changed in what feels like forever, so I feel really good about where we\u2019re going with that.\u201d He continued: \u201cIn Season 3 just in general, regarding your comment about general pacing and second-chance opportunities, that\u2019s really high on our list \u2026 In Season 3, there are some really interesting things coming.\u201d With Season 2 nearly over and Season 3 just days away at the time of writing, the Kar98k and Swiss K31 remain among the top 5 most popular weapons in Warzone according to WZRanked. This has been the case for months, but when Season 3 arrives, we could be seeing a massive meta shift. The question is, how do they properly nerf snipers while still making them a rewarding weapon to excel with?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
