After some back and forth, the new update for Call of Duty: Warzone, originally slated for June 30, is finally live. There was even an additional adjustment – a buff for a change.
What is the back and forth about? On the evening of June 30, the battle royale CoD Warzone received a new update that many players had been waiting for. The patch primarily aimed at balancing some weapons in Season 4 and was supposed to weaken one of the best weapons, the (for many too) dominant assault rifle FARA 83.
However, there were apparently issues with the update; just a few hours later, Raven Software pulled the patch and reverted everything to the state before the June 30 update. The changes were deactivated for the time being. The studio only cited “ongoing issues with the update” as the reason. At the same time, they announced that a fix was already in the works, but no specific date was given for the re-release.
Warzone update from June 30 is back – Another change included
The developers have now announced: By the evening of July 2, it was finally time. The developers announced via Twitter that they were releasing the update again.
So it is already live. There has been no mention of new serious problems or another pullback; it is currently running smoothly after the re-release.
Additional change – What do the patch notes say? The patch notes for the update had been known since June 30. The main changes are as follows:
- There were nerfs to the assault rifle FARA 83, the nail gun, and the C58 assault rifle.
- Recoil control was reduced on several attachments.

However, the re-release brought an additional change that was communicated later on Twitter:
- There was a buff for the already strong and popular assault rifle XM4 from Black Ops Cold War.
- Specifically, it is stated: The recoil behavior of the weapon has now been smoothed out.
The XM4 is already competing in Warzone with submachine guns, is ideal for sniper support, and is solid in long-range combat. Now it is likely to become a bit stronger. Soon you will find a detailed guide to the XM4 here on MeinMMO.
How has Call of Duty been for you since the last update? Do you think the nerfs to the 3 weapons – especially the FARA and the nail gun – are sufficient? Or do these firearms need further adjustments after the last patch? Is the XM4 buff noticeable for you? Let us know in the comments along with other readers of MeinMMO.
