A small update arrived to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 on May 31. While the patch notes mostly address bug fixes across all modes, a major nerf hits the Cronen Squall battle rifle as well.
Season 3’s Cronen Squall battle rifle has been a powerful choice for multiplayer and battle royale, but the patch notes include a series of nerfs to the weapon across all modes. The weapon adjustments include reduced damage range, reduced headshot multiplier, a small increase to recoil while the gun is in semi-auto mode, and a small reduction to the rate of fire in semi-auto mode. Additionally, the update reduced maximum damage per shot against armor in Warzone 2.
The only other gun affected by the update is the ISO Hemlock assault rifle. The change includes a nerf specifically for Warzone 2, which reduces damage to armor for 5.56 ammunition.
