XclusiveAce is one of the most prolific sources of information when it comes to the Call of Duty franchise. His expert analysis videos take an in-depth look at the changes made in both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 to convert the words from the patch notes into quantifiable results. In his video reviewing the weapon balancing changes made for MW2 Season 2, the YouTuber found the nerf to the Vaznev-9K to be inconsequential to the gun\u2019s effectiveness overall. XclusiveAce breaks down \u201cmeaningless\u201d Vaznev-9K nerf in MW2 As explained in his video, the MW2 patch notes revealed that the Vaznev received a nerf at \u201cmid-to-long range damage.\u201d The change, as Ace has it figured, came out to be a slight damage reduction over distance to both the base damage and upper torso damage of the weapon. \u201cThis was a completely meaningless change,\u201d he explained. \u201cThis changes absolutely nothing for this gun, and therefore for all intents and purposes, the Vaznev went untouched in this update.\u201d This is a major discovery with the launch of Ranked Play, as many casual and Call of Duty League pro players alike believe the gun is overpowered in its current state. OpTic Texas newcomer Ghosty even admitted as much in his first appearance on now-retired CoD legend Scump\u2019s stream. While the Kastov 74U (which is technically an Assault Rifle in MW2) is slightly stronger, it is banned under the CDL ruleset that governs the competitive playlist\u2019s meta. The Fennec 45, which is Warzone 2\u2019s dominant SMG is also banned. This leaves the Lachmann Sub (MP5) as the only strong alternative for both pros and casual players taking on the Ranked ladder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XclusiveAce reveals Vaznev-9K nerf in MW2 was \u201cmeaningless\u201d as it still dominates ActivisionCall of Duty MW2 and Warzone 2 expert XclusiveAce claims the Vaznev-9k received a \u201cmeaningless\u201d nerf in the Season 2 update.
