January 17, 2024 by Lauren Sayles

A fresh meta hits Urzikstan.

Season 1 Reloaded of MW3 and Warzone is here and so is a fresh weapon balancing patch, full of various buffs and nerfs.

Notably, the MTZ 762 battle rifle that has been dominating the battlefield has been hit with a nerf. Additionally, the best sniper in Warzone, the KATT-AMR is also less powerful than it once was.
