Warzone Season 3 Weapon Balancing: All nerfs & buffs!

With the dawn of Warzone Season 3, the battlefield has undergone significant changes, particularly in the weapon meta. The once-reigning king, the Ram-7 assault rifle, has seen a notable nerf, potentially altering its status as a go-to weapon. Meanwhile, the HRM remains largely unaffected in the SMG category, standing tall as competitors like the AMR9 and RAM9 face reductions in power. Let’s delve into the comprehensive adjustments across weapon categories, highlighting the buffs and nerfs shaping the new Warzone landscape.

Pistols

• WSP Stinger: Received a buff with its Akimbo Rear Grip’s rate of fire increasing to 750rpm from 600rpm.
• Renetti: Its max damage range has been extended to 12.95 meters, up from 11.68.

Sniper Rifles

• SP-X 80, KV Inhibitor, and XRK Stalker: All experienced a nerf, mainly through increased sprint to fire and aim down sight times, making them less agile in combat.

Marksman Rifles

• Tempus Torrent: Suffered a nerf with its max damage decreasing to 70 from 74, potentially impacting its lethality.

Light Machine Guns (LMGs)

• The LMG category sees a mix of buffs and nerfs. RAAL MG, TAQ Evolvere, and Bruen Mk9 have been nerfed, affecting their sprint to fire times, aim down sight times, and damage output. Conversely, HCR 56, Rapp H, Taq Eradicator, and Bas-P have been buffed, enhancing damage, damage ranges, and damage modifiers, promising to elevate their performance on the field.

Submachine Guns (SMGs)

• This category witnesses a significant shake-up. Lachmann Sub, MX9, and Bas-P have been buffed, increasing their max damage and damage ranges. However, the WSP Swarm, WSP-9, Striker 9, Striker, HRM-9, Rival-9, AMR9, and RAM-9 have all been nerfed, mainly in terms of sprint to fire times and damage output, altering the dynamics of close-quarters combat.

Battle Rifles

• Sidewinder enjoys a buff, becoming faster and more lethal with decreased sprint to fire time and increased bullet velocity. However, SOA Subverter, MTZ-762, and Bas-B face nerfs, reducing their effectiveness at range and in quick engagements.

Assault Rifles

• Tempus Razorback, FR Avancer, M13C, and Lachmann-556 have received buffs, enhancing their damage output and modifiers, potentially elevating them as favorable choices in the new meta. On the other hand, DG-56 and Ram-7 are on the receiving end of nerfs, particularly the Ram-7, which has seen significant reductions in damage and range.

Conclusion

Warzone Season 3 introduces a refreshing shift in weapon dynamics, with significant adjustments across all categories. The nerf of the Ram-7 and subtle changes to SMGs like the HRM-9 suggest a reevaluation of the prevalent meta, encouraging players to explore and adapt to new weapon builds and strategies. As always, mastering the changes and finding the right setup will be key to dominating the Warzone.
