Despite the analyses of the two CoD experts, some commentators remain stubborn. In response to claims that the recoil is now less noticeable, Ace counters with another post:
Other players convinced of the “anti-nerf” claimed it must be due to the purchasable blueprints. With the submachine gun MAC-10, this phenomenon occurred until recently. However, the expert from “truegamedata.com” has something to counter this claim:

“I bought the two blueprints of the DMR 14 to make sure all damage values have been nerfed – and they have. All rumors are refuted. DMR is simply still really good.”
For both experts, it is clear: The nerf is still in play.
Should I try the DMR again? After the nerf, many players were glad about the end of the DMR meta. However, the weapon can still serve you well and was not completely patched. If you enjoyed the single-shot mode, then pick up the DMR again. The tactical rifle continues to be among the best weapons in Warzone.
The Call of Duty: Warzone suffered under the tyranny of the overpowering DMR 14 for a few weeks. A professional player now said that the nerf has been removed again, and many players are wondering: Is the DMR OP again?
What’s going on? The DMR 14 was the big winner of the “Cold War” integration into Call of Duty: Warzone. With the Season 1 of the new “Black Ops” installment, over 30 weapons came into the battle royale Warzone, and the DMR 14 was the total standout.
Two nerfs later, the weapon was left in the closet by many soldiers again. The statements from major Warzone players who announced the end of the DMR zone with the nerf were too bad. But that might have been too early.
Possible Reversal of the DMR Nerf Concerns the Community
Some well-known Warzone players shared the theory that the DMR nerf might have been reversed. The rumor really took off through CoD and Warzone pro Thomas “Tommey” Trewren, who tweeted:

“I’m sorry to have to tell you this. But I think they’ve reversed the DMR nerf…”
After that, the information about a possible reversal of the nerf spread like wildfire in the community. Many actually consider it possible and immediately start field tests to see how the weapon currently plays.
What do players say about it? The reactions to a return of the OP rifle were largely negative. Many players found the DMR meta disturbing and were glad when the terror was finally over. @SteadyGamin replied on Twitter: “I like you, Tommy. But I don’t like the post.”
Others supported the statement and urged Tommy to delete the tweet and not to spread the information widely. @haly_matt said on Twitter: “Keep that to yourself, don’t tell everyone”
Since the rumor came from some of the most popular and largest Warzone players, many assumed there must be something to it. This, in turn, brought the CoD analysts into action, who conducted further tests to check whether the DMR nerf is still active or has actually been removed.
Experts Agree: The Nerf is Still Active
What do Warzone experts say about it? Two of the largest Warzone experts are the YouTuber “TheXclusiveAce” and the operator behind the website “truegamedata.com“. Both have conducted tests to verify the rumor about the DMR nerf. And both come to the same conclusion:
- @TheXclusiveAce on Twitter: “There’s a rumor about a possible reversal of the DMR nerf. I tested it and it’s not true.
- @TrueGameData on Twitter: ” […] I tested it, it’s still nerfed. It [the DMR14] is just still really good and some people might have missed that for some reason.”
