Call of Duty: Warzonehas been plagued by some serious balancing issues ever since it integrated itself withBlack Ops Cold War. The Season 1 update saw a slew ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warguns added toWarzone, and it quickly became apparent than a few of these guns were overpowered, especially the DMR 14. Raven Software has listened to fan feedback about these overpoweredCall of Duty: Warzoneguns, and has issued an update to address the problems.
Raven Software has released a newCall of Duty: Warzoneupdate that looks to better-balance the game by nerfing its most overpowered weapons. First and foremost, theCall of Duty: WarzoneDMR has been nerfed so that headshot damage has been reduced and the gun has increased recoil. This should go a long way in making the DMR a much less overpowered gun inCall of Duty: Warzone, though the jury is still out as to whether or not the nerf goes far enough. It should be noted that thisDMR nerfonly applies to the gun as it is inCall of Duty: Warzone, not how it functions inBlack Ops Cold War.

The newCall of Duty: Warzoneupdate also nerfs the Type 63, reducing headshot damage and increasing recoil for that gun as well. TheMac-10, which has been commonly found in manyCall of Duty: Warzoneloadouts lately and usually paired with the DMR, has had its headshot multiplier decreased. Raven Software has also nerfed dual pistols inCall of Duty: Warzone, increasing their hip fire spread and reducing their damage range.
The newCall of Duty: Warzoneupdate should please most fans of the game, as many have been complaining online about how overpowered the DMR is. Not only have fans andCall of Dutypro playersbeen speaking out about the DMR, some celebrities have also complained about the gun on social media.
