Warzone Serpentine Perk nerfed again in Season 5 ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone\u2019s infamous Serpentine Perk has caused many problems since it was introduced, but after getting a recent nerf, Raven has decided to decrease the Perk\u2019s power even more. The addition of Serpentine drew a lot of complaints as despite how effective the game\u2019s meta loadouts and weapons are, a low-recoil gun still couldn\u2019t do much when it was essentially hitting an armored opponent \u2014 such was the Perk\u2019s power. Serpentine was originally used to \u201creduce incoming damage from bullets, explosives, and fire by 20% while sprinting\u201d in Warzone, then on July 28, 2022, the devs decided enough was enough and nerfed the Perk making it so that it didn\u2019t deflect as much of the damage as it did. The latest Warzone update has once again targeted Serpentine and it could change the Perk meta going forward. Serpentine Perk nerfed again in latest update On August 24, 2022, the patch notes for the game stated that: \u201cSerpentine continues to be a top-3 pick in the blue Perk category after Season Four Reloaded\u2019s update. As a result, we\u2019re removing the bonus protection to Fire and Explosive Damage. This should also restore the value to E.O.D that Serpentine had cannibalized.\u201d This means that if you\u2019re under fire from actual bullets then you\u2019ll be protected somewhat, but if you\u2019re suffering from fire or explosive damage whilst sprinting then you will still receive the normal effects of the hazards. Even though it\u2019s advertised for later in the season, it\u2019s interesting to note that Serpentine is already penciled in for a third nerf as you\u2019ll need to be using Tac Sprint for the Perk\u2019s ability to kick in. The devs said: \u201cLater in the season we\u2019ll be making an additional change that causes Serpentine to only be in effect while Tactical Sprinting, instead of regular sprint.\u201d Given that not everyone has Tac Sprint auto-enabled or uses it altogether, these changes are going to render the Perk pretty useless to many and other fan favorites will come back into the fray. With Warzone 2 expected to be a whole new game with new Perks and metas, these could be some of the final changes before Modern Warfare 2 launches on October 28, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
