Warzone expert reveals NZ-41 \u201cwasn\u2019t really nerfed\u201d in July 7 update ActivisionThe NZ-41 has been the dominant weapon in Warzone for some time now, leading Raven to nerf the Assault Rifle multiple times. However, Warzone expert WhosImmortal has revealed that the latest nerf, in the June 7 update, did virtually nothing to make the NZ-41 less effective. After being largely forgotten since the release of Vanguard, a huge buff to the NZ-41 in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded quickly saw it overtake the STG44 as the number one weapon in the game. In fact, the gun has become so powerful, that the devs have looked to nerf it multiple times, first in the Season 4 update, then on June 30. The most recent nerf was supposed to have come in the July 7 update. However, Warzone expert WhoIsmmortal has revealed that this isn\u2019t actually the case. Warzone stats show NZ-41 wasn\u2019t nerfed in July 7 update According to the July 7 patch notes, the NZ-41 received a 20% reduction in recoil recovery. In his July 11 video, WhosImmortal shared stats from Sym.gg that revealed the change is far less significant in practice. Sym.gg \u201cdata mines all the stats from the game\u201d and sees exactly how each weapon is functioning according to the files. They found that the recoil recovery of the NZ-41 has actually only been reduced by 2.78% instead of the advertised 20%. \u201cThat NZ recoil recovery really isn\u2019t going to feel any different than \u2018pre-nerf,\u2019 quote, unquote, because it wasn\u2019t really nerfed,\u201d the YouTuber explained. He went on to mention that even if the nerf had functioned as intended, the NZ-41 wouldn\u2019t be any worse off. \u201cAlso, recoil recovery is not a major factor in most weapons, especially the NZ. Even if the nerf was correct at 20% \u2013 nerfing 20% of nothing is still nothing.\u201d WhosImmortal did, however, agree the NZ-41 should be made less overpowered and even suggested how Raven could achieve this. \u201cThe NZ needs a lot more kick, just in general, the recoil is way too easy and it probably needs a damage dropoff over range to really feel like a balanced meta weapon,\u201d said the YouTuber. \u201cIf they were to that it\u2019d still be a top choice, in my opinion, but not the overbearing number one choice.\u201d Raven is yet to comment on whether or not this was a deliberate decision or a mistake on their part, but we\u2019d imagine that another nerf to the NZ-41 could be coming in the Season 4 Reloaded update, if not before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
