MW2 and MW3 weapons just got huge Warzone buffs to compete against BO6 meta

Older guns from Modern Warfare 2 and 3 have got a huge buff in the Season 2 Reloaded update, bringing them more level with the Black Ops 6 weapons that currently dominate the Warzone meta.

Season 2 Reloaded launched on Thursday, February 20, with some major changes, including new maps in BO6 multiplayer and a number of weapon balancing adjustments in Warzone.

One key change in the update that could have a huge impact on the Warzone meta, though, is numerous changes to MW2 and MW3 weapons, bringing them more in line with the current meta.

Here’s what changed.

MW2 & MW3 gun buffs

As explained in the patch notes, Warzone developers Raven Software wanted to “remove the penalties from the most used Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III ammo types to make them less of a tradeoff to take.”

Here’s what they adjusted:

Weapons

• Reduced Idle Sway on all MWII & MWIII weapons.
• Reduced Weapon Bob on all MWII & MWIII weapons.

  • Gunkick benefit increased from 5% to 12%
  • Recoil Control benefit increased from 8% to 15%
  • Removed Damage Range and Bullet Velocity penalty

  • Removed Gunkick and Recoil Control penalty

Magazine Attachments
