A major new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 makes several weapon balance changes to various assault rifles, such as the DG-58 and FR 5.56. According to Sledgehammer Games, the new update targets overperforming assault rifles while improving the consistency of SMGs in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Like previous Call of Duty games, Modern Warfare 3 receives weekly updates that rotate playlists and brings balance changes. Modern Warfare 3’s November 16 playlist update brought multiple maps from 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 , and a new Experimental Playlist lets players try out new features that Sledgehammer Games has been developing, such as a colored outline for enemy combatants in multiplayer. The following day, Sledgehammer Games released a subsequent update that reduced the delay for sprinting after a slide, making overall player movement feel more responsive in Modern Warfare 3 . In a Reddit AMA held on November 20, the developers revealed even more changes for Modern Warfare 3 arriving in the coming we
The same holds true for Zombies. However, a Pack-A-Punched JAK Voltstorm loses its charge-up time and instead fires instantly once the trigger is pulled. A Pack-A-Punched JAK Voltstorm’s range is also significantly increased, capable of one-shotting most Zombies in the low-threat zone from an infinite distance, as long as players land a direct hit. A Pack-A-Punched JAK Voltstorm also dishes out significant damage in both the medium-threat and high-threat zones (provided players have the JAK Voltstorm Pack-A-Punched to Tier II Ready or Not Stolen Valor higher and have upgraded the weapon with a high-rarity Aether Tool). It may not be the best weapon for Zombies , but it can be a fun addition to a player’s arse
The official Call of Duty blog revealed patch notes for the November 21 Modern Warfare 3 update, which features multiple weapon changes for assault rifles and SMGs. Firstly, the Holger 556 assault rifle received nerfs to damage multipliers for head, neck, upper-torso, arm, and hand damage. The Holger 556’s sprint to fire time was increased from 210ms to 231ms, so players will notice a slight delay when proceeding to fire the assault rifle directly after sprinting. The FR 5.56 received the exact same sprint to fire nerf as the Holger 556 with the former getting multiple damage nerfs and damage multiplier reductions. What’s more, Sledgehammer Games nerfed the DG-58 assault rifle’s overall damage and increased the burst delay from 100ms to 12
Moving on now with the Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Reveal Trailer , one of the most recent trailers released by Call of Duty during the game’s worldwide reveal. In typical Call of Duty fashion, Black Ops 6’s multiplayer reveal is as action-packed as ever, starting with a quick VHS-style intro before diving right into the gameplay. The trailer’s soundtrack features Breathe by The Prodigy, fitting well with the chaotic, fast-paced action of the gameplay foot
The latest update appears to raise the viability of SMGs in the Modern Warfare 3 meta , since the Striker, AMR9, and Striker 9 received notable changes. The Striker SMG’s maximum damage range has been increased from just 9 m to 19 m, which is a 114% increase. Near-medium and far-medium damage for the Striker was also increased, and the Striker’s aim down sights (ADS) time was reduced to 230ms. The Striker 9 also received a reduction in ADS timing, but the SMG’s maximum damage was decreased by 16%. Slight adjustments to the AMR9 brought its damage multipliers up to 1.1x, and its sprint to fire time was reduced by 30% to 206ms. Overall, these SMGs should feel more responsive and consistent in the meta going forw
Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone’s The Haunting Season 6 have cranked up the spooky factor of both games, seeing the debut of the long-awaited Zombie Royale game mode for Battle Royale, along with a plethora of scarily good content inside the Battle Pass. Though players may still be grinding to unlock everything the Battle Pass has to offer, such as the now meta DTIR 30-06 Battle Rifle , Week 4 of Modern Warfare 3 sees the arrival of yet another Aftermarket Part to unl
Player feedback will likely be incorporated for future weapon buffs and nerfs as Sledgehammer Games continues to work on new multiplayer and Zombies content for Modern Warfare 3 Season 1 . Assault rifles still appear to be the most viable weapon category for newcomers in Modern Warfare 3 , but the buffs to SMGs could make them another solid option for those wanting to run-and-gun their opponents in Mosh Pit and other popular playli
Season 5 introduced original 6v6 maps like Bait and Yard, meta weapons such as the STG44 and the Static-HV, and saw the return of the fan-favorite POI, Superstore, in Warzone Urzikstan. Now that Season 5 is nearing its halfway point, it’s time to look ahead to the next major content drop. While fans may be anticipating the inevitable release of Season 5 Reloaded, Activision has finally revealed when fans can expect the mid-season update to be released across all platfo
