Call of Duty: Warzone has officially launched its June 30 update today, so here’s the full list of changes and additions with this patch. As we’re still just two weeks into Season 4, there isn’t a whole lot to dissect from this update. With that being said, there are some fairly substantial nerfs that are worth taking into account. For this patch specifically, they entirely consist of nerfs to weapons that the Warzone team believes to be much too strong at the moment. Without further adieu, here’s all the nerfs in Call of Duty: Warzone’s June 30 update!

As mentioned, the June 30 Call of Duty: Warzone update is fairly small, but it does bring nerfs to some key weapons such as the Nail Gun, C58, and FARA 83. Specifically the Nail Gun has seen some big nerfs, as that maximum damage range is quite massive. Those of you who meme about with that weapon may have a more difficult time going forward. The barrels have seen some substantial nerfs too, which the team discussed further:
We are satisfied with the overall direction of adding Recoil Control to BOCW Barrels. However, we would like the effectiveness of a Weapon to grow with the wielder as they improve. We felt with the magnitude by which recoil was being reduced, there was hardly any room left to master the control of these Weapons. We want Weapons to reward you for learning their reload timings, recoil patterns, and bullets to kill. Your proficiency with a Weapon should be a journey that is worked toward with an equivalent payoff. When we make Weapons too effective and too easy to control, there is no journey of mastery and we can become disinterested with these Weapons much quicker – which we feel can be a disservice. Even after these changes, we understand that there may still be incredibly effective and easy to control Weapons when enough Recoil Control is applied through attachments. We will continue to target these Weapons as they arise to ensure that they strike a satisfactory balance between upside and downside.”
