Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s latest update, released on July 30, brings significant changes to Warzone, particularly targeting the dominance of the Superi 46 SMG. Players across all platforms will find adjustments aimed at balancing the game and enhancing overall gameplay.
This article breaks down the key updates and what players can expect moving forward.
Significant Nerf to the Superi 46 SMG
The Superi 46 SMG, which has been a dominant force in Warzone since its introduction in Modern Warfare 3’s season four, has received crucial nerfs. Here’s what has changed:
- Damage Range Reduction: The maximum damage range of the Superi 46 has been reduced from 13.97 meters to 12.7 meters.
- Minimum Damage Adjustment: The minimum damage now starts at 25.4 meters, down from the previous 34.3 meters.
These changes are expected to reduce the SMG’s overwhelming effectiveness, making it less dominant in close to mid-range combat.
COR-45 Buffs
In response to the Superi 46 nerf, the COR-45 has been buffed to improve its competitiveness:
- Increased Rate of Fire: The COR-45’s rate of fire has been boosted from 240 rpm to 450 rpm.
- Trigger Action Adjustments: Some trigger action attachments have been altered to balance the enhanced fire rate.
These adjustments aim to make the COR-45 a more viable option in both MW3 and Warzone.
