CoD MW2 and Warzone patch notes: What's changed in the new update?

The latest Warzone update went live on 24th July and fixed a number of bugs, along with nerfing a handful of weapons. It’s not the biggest patch ever, but each one applied should improve the game in the long run.

Look out below for the full list of MW2 and Warzone patch notes to see everything that's changed.

What’s changed in the new CoD MW2 and Warzone update?

The CoD Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 24th July update has primarily nerfed a selection of weapons in the battle royale mode, including the M4 Assault Rifle. You’ll also find various bug fixes across both games in the patch notes.

In the Warzone patch notes, the M4, Lachmann-556, TAQ-56, and Tempus Razorback Assault Rifles, Cronen Squall (Full Auto) Battle Rifle, Basilisk, FTAC Siege, and X13 Auto Handguns, MX Guardian Shotgun, and ISO 45 Submachine Gun have all been nerfed.

The M4, for example, has had its upper and lower torso multiplier decreased. The Cronen Squall (Full Auto) Battle Rifle has been nerfed the most, meanwhile, with its maximum and close-mid damage decreased along with its minimum damage and headshot multiplier. It has a damage step added at mid-range, however.

In terms of Warzone bug fixes, you should no longer find snipers with high explosive rounds in ground loot during ranked play matches - as one example.

In MW2, everyone should now be able to open the Battle Pass up as normal and earn Battle Pass rewards correctly.
