Warzone update nerfs DMR, MAC-10, Diamatti, Type 63: Patch Notes ActivisionIn a new Call of Duty: Warzone patch, Black Ops Cold War\u2019s DMR, MAC-10, dual Diamattis and Type 63 have all been nerfed \u2014 ending what was potentially the most oppressive Verdansk meta to date. It took a few days for the DMR and MAC-10 to be discovered and then a few more for the dual Diamattis to come into play. But, in the weeks since Black Ops Cold War: Season 1 debuted Warzone integration, the Cold War meta has become a sore point throughout the Warzone community. Now, just a day after promising adjustments, Raven Software have taken to Twitter to announce that the three meta weapons (DMR 14, MAC-10, dual wield Diamattis) and the likely successor (Type 63, another tactical rifle) are all getting nerfed in a quick update. For all but the Diamattis, the nerfs come with headshot damage tweaks and, for the tactical rifles, some recoil changes. Interestingly, this sets a concrete meta into a liquidated flux, but players do have some theories for the next meta already. The time has come. \ud83d\udcc4#Warzone update going live: \u2013 DMR 14 \u2013 Reduced headshot damage, increased recoil \u2013 Type 63 \u2013 Reduced headshot damage, increased recoil \u2013 Mac-10 \u2013 Decreased headshot multiplier \u2013 Dual pistols \u2013 Increased hip fire spread, decreased damage range\u2014 Raven Software (@RavenSoftware) January 6, 2021 Offered to the community without an official patch notes blog, but instead with a tweet, Raven have quickly described the adjustments for each of the weapons. While this doesn\u2019t give exact numbers, Warzone fans are likely to begin experimenting immediately in an effort to discover just how harshly these guns have been treated. Read more: Warzone finisher would have let you teabag – For the two tactical rifles, DMR and Type 63, headshot damage has been decreased and recoil has, conversely, been increased. This should limit their damage capacity (good bye, two-shot, fully armored kills at any range) and raise their skill cap, ensuring that shots aren\u2019t as easy to hit as they once were. For the MAC-10, the headshot multiplier has simply been decreased \u2014 meaning the damage ceiling is lowered, but the gun\u2019s range is untouched, keeping it viable. And, finally, the Ghosted assassin\u2019s dream, the dual Diamattis, have been doubly nerfed so that 1) their hip fire spread is wider and, therefore, less accurate and 2) their already-uninspiring damage range has been further cut, seemingly putting the pistols in the \u201ccould maybe try to melee instead\u201d range. While every gun will still need to be tested to determine just how harsh the nerfs are, the community is excited to find out. The DMR better be nerfed into the ground and completely unusable after this update. I\u2019m comfortable saying that it was the most overpowered weapon in Warzone history. https:\/\/t.co\/dGqV80I81w \u2014 100T Nadeshot (@Nadeshot) January 6, 2021 As Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag\u2019s tweet indicates, people are desperate for the DMR to be put away alongside the most OP guns in Verdansk history. It remains to be seen if the gun has truly been \u201cnerfed into the ground and completely unusable,\u201d but fans are likely already trying to discover the next meta. As far as current theories, people expect that a FFAR and Kar98k loadout could come into play, while also wondering if a Cold War LMG could make its presence felt. January 16 Warzone full patch notes DMR 14: Reduced headshot damage, increased recoil – Type 63: Reduced headshot damage, increased recoil – Mac-10: Decreased headshot multiplier – Dual Diamattis: Increased hip fire spread, decreased damage range – (It\u2019s worth bearing in mind that these changes are solely being made in Warzone as well, so the Cold War multiplayer experience is untouched by these adjustments.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
