New Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Update Brings Fixes and Nerfs To Newest Weapons

For players who have been experiencing issues with the latest weapons added with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Season 6 update, there is good news.

Infinity Ward has released a new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone that fixes the issues with the newly released assault rifle, AS-VAL, and nerfs the SP-R 208 sniper.

The reason behind the changes for the AS-VAL was due to a bug with the SSP 10-round magazine that would let bullets penetrate through multiple walls without damage fall-off, which you can see down below:

For the SP-R 208, the change comes after in-game data pointed to the sniper being overpowered.

The new update is now live on Xbox, Playstation and PC. You can find the full list of patch notes down below:

GENERAL: 

• Fixed an issue where players could survive in the gas while staying on the subway fast travel system

WEAPONS:
