Season 2 Reloaded is live for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. The mid-season update adds Himmelmatt Expo as a standard 6v6 map, three new game modes, and a new Raid episode to multiplayer. In addition to new mid-season content, the patch notes for the big update reveal plenty of weapon tuning and quality-of-life updates.
For weapon balancing, three popular light machine guns were nerfed. The Sakin MG38 now has reduced damage range, the RPK has reduced walking speed and muzzle velocity, and the RAAL MG was hit with nerfs to damage range, headshot damage, and upper torso damage.
Season 2’s overpowered KV Broadside shotgun was also nerfed. The damage ranges were reduced for both the 12 Gauge and Dragon’s Breath ammo types. The update also reduced the gun’s lower torso damage. Additionally, some of the underpowered submachine guns received buffs to damage ranges, including the BAS-p and VEL 46.
