Warzone Season 2 Reloaded update: Rebirth Reinforced, Welgun nerfs, new SMG, patch notes ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone\u2019s Season 2 Reloaded patch notes have arrived and the game is seeing serious change. From a revamped Rebirth Island: Reinforced map and Armaguerra 43 to Welgun nerfs and QOL changes, here\u2019s everything in the new update. While we already had a sneak peek at many of the tweaks coming in the Warzone Season 2 Reloaded update, we\u2019re now finally getting to see the full patch notes. With Rebirth Island: Reinforced sneak peeks and a huge array of quality-of-life updates announced, the update is full of content. Now that the patch has officially gone live, Raven Software have shared previously unknown details. Among the new information, the most interesting details surround weapon balancing. While melee weapons, marksman rifles, and shotguns are being buffed, meta guns and attachments like the Welgun and Hollow Point are being nerfed. Warzone Season 2 reloaded patch nerfs Welgun & Hollow Point It\u2019s no secret that the Welgun has remained a dominant gun in Warzone. That may change after the new update, though, as the SMG has been nerfed on multiple fronts. The base Welgun\u2019s firing rate was decreased by 2.2% and its recoil was \u201cincreased slightly.\u201d Further, its popular 320mm SA Shrouded barrel\u2019s recoil control was nerfed by 21% and its Gorenko 40-round mags received damage and recoil nerfs. Another change that should impact all SMGs to Hollow Point, as the attachment received a 20% nerf to damage range. Additionally, Vanguard shotguns got a 10% damage buff and \u201cmost\u201d melee weapons now deal a critical hit on their second consecutive strike.

Effective at short to medium range engagements. – Weapon Adjustments Assault Rifles Vargo 52 (BOCW) Maximum Damage decreased from 28 to 27 – Minimum Damage decreased from 24 to 23 – Neck Damage Multiplier increased from 1.2 to 1.3 – The Vargo 52 (BOCW) is a powerful new addition to the AR category and was outperforming where we wanted it to be. We expect that the weapon will still excel within its damage range and will be keeping a close eye on it for the future. – Volkssturmgewehr (VG) Gun Kick adjusted – The Volkssturmgewehr (VG) tended to drift to the right while firing, which could distract or obstruct sight when it mattered most. This change mutes that Weapon movement considerably. – Marksman Rifles G-43 (VG) Bullet Velocity increased by 13.8% – M1 Garand (VG) Bullet Velocity increased by 14.3% – ADS Movement Speed increased from .86 to 1 – ADS Interrupt Time increased from 300ms to 250ms – ADS Interrupt Time is the point in the Aim Down Sight animation where it can be interrupted by other actions. This change will make its Handling feel lighter and more responsive. – SVT-40 (VG) Bullet Velocity increased by 16% – Vanguard Marksman Rifles were behind when looking at velocity. These adjustments are intended to make them far more reliable at their optimal ranges. – Melee Most Melee Weapons now execute a Melee Finisher on a second consecutive strike. – This change is significant as Melee Weapons deal 135 damage, which if left unchanged, would consistently require 3 hits to kill with the increase to base health. – Shotgun Vanguard Shotgun Damage increased by 10%. – Einhorn Revolving (VG) Magazine Capacity increased from 5 to 6 – Sniper Rifle 3-Line Rifle (VG) [Controller Only] Aim Assist enabled when not in ADS – Type 99 (VG) [Controller Only] Aim Assist enabled when not in ADS – Submachine Guns Sten (VG) 7.62 Gorenko Capacity increased from 32 to 36 – .45 ACP Round Fast Mags Capacity increased from 28 to 32 – 9mm Mags Capacity increased from 20 to 28 – On paper, the Sten (VG) has an incredibly compelling stat-line. In reality, it suffered far too much from its limited magazine capacities\u2013which prevented it from piercing the upper echelon of Submachine Guns. A moderate mag size increase will make the Sten (VG) a more competitive option for those who prefer highly-mobile playstyles. – Welgun (VG) Fire Rate decreased by 2.2% – Recoil increased slightly – ATTACHMENTS Ammunition Hollow Point Damage Range now decreased by 20% – Hollow Point has been heavily leaned on by Submachine Guns and with good reason. Its previous damage range penalty would rarely affect the most common engagement distances. This adjustment to the ammunition results in a powerful tool, you\u2019ll just have to get a little closer. – Our ongoing goal with ammunition is to provide options and move away from a singular choice that\u2019s \u201cgood for any occasion\u201d. – Barrel 3-Line Rifle (VG) 500mm MN Custom Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit – – Kar98k (VG) VDD 660mm 05HE Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit – – Type 100 (VG) Warubachi 134mm Rapid Visual Recoil decreased – – Type 99 (VG) Shiraishi 712mm Sniper Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit – – Welgun (VG) 320mm SA Shrouded Recoil Control decreased from 36% to 15% – – Magazine Einhorn Revolving (VG) 16 Gauge 12 Round Cylinder – Magazine Capacity increased from 7 to 12 – Reload Speed increased slightly – – Birdshot 6 Round Cylinder – – Reload Speed increased slightly – – Welgun (VG) .45 48 Round Mags Visual Recoil decreased – 7.62 Gorenko 40 Round Mags Fire Rate increased from 11% to 12% – Maximum Damage decreased from 30 to 29 – Mid Damage decreased from 26 to 25 – Min Damage decreased from 21 to 20 – Recoil Control decreased from 22% to 16% – The Gorenko 40 Round Mags was simply providing far too much value and was overdue for an adjustment. This still leaves the Welgun in a very strong position despite the change to this particular Magazine. – Perk DP27 (VG) Hardscope Recoil Control decreased – Rear Grip Sniper Rifles Airborne Elastic Wrap (BOCW) Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit – Dropshot Wrap (BOCW) Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit – Field Tape (BOCW) Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit – SASR Jungle Grip (BOCW) Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit – Polymer Grip (VG) Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
