Warzone YouTuber reveals how \u201cfishy\u201d weapon changes are impacting the game ActivisionSecret weapon adjustments appear to be all too common in Warzone, according to detailed breakdowns from popular Call of Duty YouTuber \u2018JGOD.\u2019 Despite patch notes accompanying every Warzone update, there are supposedly a good number of tweaks that fly under the radar. From weapon buffs and nerfs to attachment changes that could make your loadouts feel completely different. Why these tweaks are excluded from the overview remains a mystery. Though it could be an increasingly frequent issue as the seasons roll on. No weapons are safe from these stealth updates and some could have already gone unnoticed for weeks. One of the most intricate studies, conducted by JGOD, highlights just how severe some of the latest sneaky updates have been. Here\u2019s how these \u201cfishy\u201d adjustments are impacting Warzone today. The most recent area of focus has been on Barrel attachments. These are intended to help weapons when it comes to bullet velocity and fire rate. Though a recent update has reportedly altered this attachment when it comes to Assault Rifles and Tactical Rifles. Without directly nerfing the weapons themselves, secretly nerfing this attachment feels as real as any proper nerf. \u201cYou essentially nerf the weapon even though nothing has changed,\u201d JGOD explained. \u201cThe [Barrel] being [powerful] is what made it part of the meta.\u201d For a specific example, the Titanium Barrel \u201cwas pretty broken for the AUG and the M16 because of how much it increased the bullet velocity but also increased the fire rate.\u201d With a new wave of secret changes under the hood, the effectiveness of this attachment has now been halved. The Titanium Barrel went from providing the best velocity of any Tac Rifle to being identical with four other Barrels. Given this extreme change that landed in Warzone without being addressed, there could be \u201ca lot of other subtle changes\u201d according to JGOD. FFAR likely changed a few weeks ago, but nobody knew.@TrueGameData tested in December and I Tested Mid January If you look at his new results are basically my results from the Shared Doc w\/Bullet Velocities (Jan 16). Probably a lot of fishy changes happening w\/o us knowing. pic.twitter.com\/zTi0KpSBOq \u2014 James \u2013 JGOD (@JGODYT) February 6, 2021 In another instance, the base version of the XM4 was recently buffed in Warzone without confirmation from the devs. The velocity of the base weapon was brought in line with every other base AR in the game. Though Barrel attachments still haven\u2019t been tweaked in light of this change. As a result, four of seven Barrells now actually reduce the gun\u2019s power, rather than providing any buffs. You should steer clear of the Reinforced Heavy, Extended, Takedown, and Task Force Barrels for the XM4. How are they going to Buff the XM4 Bullet Velocity, but not touch the barrels. \ud83e\udd26\u2642\ufe0f\ud83e\udd26\u2642\ufe0f\ud83e\udd26\u2642\ufe0f Also, Looks like no Change to CW AK47 BV or its Barrels. \u2014 James \u2013 JGOD (@JGODYT) February 6, 2021 JGOD has asked a number of times for more detailed patch notes, but the devs are yet to respond at this point in time. Perhaps future updates will come with every single tweak if the community demands it. For the time being, however, there will continue to be a number of \u201cfishy changes happening without us knowing.\u201d You can check every secret change with JGOD\u2019s spreadsheet here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
