In response, Raven Software are currently planning nerfs for the meta weapon. The Warzone Pacific Season 2 update was supposed to nerf both the meta Bren LMG and MP-40 SMG. This would have thrown the battle royale\u2019s entire loadout scene into disarray. Instead, while the MP-40 suffered, players quickly realized that the Bren didn\u2019t seem impacted at all. The long-range menace, which was supposed to receive three nerfs, actually ended up feeling stronger than ever. Within days, fans took to the internet to complain about the Bren\u2019s continued dominance. Now, it appears the gun received an accidental silent buff \u2013 much like the since-fixed PPSh \u2013 and actual nerfs are on the way. Warzone devs confirm nerfs coming for \u2018OP\u2019 Bren While Raven Software haven\u2019t discussed the Bren much on social media, their Trello board mentions the weapon under \u201cGlobal Issues.\u201d As they explain, \u201cthe Light Machine Gun Charlie (VG)\u2019s damage profile is incorrect, resulting in a higher-than-normal damage profile.\u201d This confirms that the LMG\u2019s damage is \u201chigher-than-normal\u201d (basically meaning it\u2019s overpowered). Further, they\u2019ve listed the topic under the \u201cinvestigating\u201d banner. This suggests that a fix should be on the way to finally weaken the Bren. Bren silently buffed alongside PPSh in Season 2? \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f A #Warzone update has gone live! Includes Gameplay adjustments, Bug Fixes and changes to the PPSh-41 (VG)! The Season Two Patch Notes have been amended (see Feb 24): https:\/\/t.co\/jL7RTPlDF5 pic.twitter.com\/eoBcHP1Ja0 \u2014 Raven Software (@RavenSoftware) February 24, 2022 As players might remember from the February 24 patch notes, the PPSh was confirmed to be silently and accidentally buffed in Season 2. At the time, the devs\u2019 hot fix patched out the bug, which was \u201ccausing higher-than-intended Max\/Mid\/Min damage values for the PPSh-41.\u201d The situation with the Bren feels very similar and, as such, should elicit the same treatment. While we don\u2019t currently have a timeline for a fix, it appears that the Bren\u2019s current damage profile was produced by an unintentional bug and will be nerfed in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone devs plan Bren nerfs to fix \u2018overpowered\u2019 damage bug Activision \/ PixabayCall of Duty: Warzone\u2019s developers have confirmed that the Bren LMG is bugged, dealing more damage than it\u2019s supposed to.
