All weapon buffs & nerfs in Warzone Season 3 update

It’s balance changes galore in Warzone Season 3 ⁠— in total, 11 guns and 18 attachments have come under Raven Software’s microscope for buffs & nerfs as the battle royale deals with the fallout of the Verdansk nuke event.

Warzone Season 3 is here ⁠—welcomed with a nuke, no less — and it’s massive, to say the least. Across the battle royale, there’s been a host of changes.

This includes a raft of weapon changes, as Raven Software looks to balance Warzone’s huge arsenal of guns. In total, 11 guns were put under the microscope in the April 22 update, with changes ranging from bullet damage, to recoil adjustments and ADS values.

Six of the 11 guns changed this season were assault rifles.

On top of the gun-specific changes, at least 18 attachments have also changed this patch. The decision to change attachments as well as guns should “build variety,” Raven Software wrote inthe Season 3 patch notes, released this week.

There’s plenty of changes that just dropped in the Season 3 update, yes, but there’s also new kids on the nuked Verdansk block: the PPSh-41 and the Swiss K31.

The two new guns are an SMG and sniper rifle respectively, and will be available in the newly-released Season 3 battle pass that is now available in-game. The PPSh-41 is unlocked at Tier 15, while the Swiss K31 will require a grind all the way to Tier 31 if you want to get your hands on the new sniper rifle.

In particular, its max damage and range have both been decreased (30 to 27, and a 15% drop). The rifle will now also deal less neck damage (1.1 → 1), less upper torso damage (1.1 → 1), and has had its ADS values “decreased slightly.”

Meta picks like the M-16 and AUG have been whacked with similar nerfs.

Both tactical rifles had their burst time chopped down, to 10% and 33% respectively, and suffered dints in their neck damage modifiers. The AUG now deals 1.3 more damage with neck shots, down from 1.8, while the M-16 dishes out just 1.1 damage if you land a lower-side neckshot.

Here’s the full list of buffs & nerfs, below. These were included as part of theWarzone Season 3 patch notes, which dropped on April 22.
