This has included the arrival of new weapons, which have dropped into the game in a strong position, while longer-standing weapons have been adjusted as well.

InSeason 3 Reloaded, the devs have once again introduced two new guns – theFTAC SiegeandGS Magna– and rolled out some big changes to weapons, as Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, Submachine Guns, and Light Machine Guns now have Maximum Armor Damage values to slow down their respective times-to-kill.

With thisupdate, the popular Lachmann Sub, Vaznev-9K, ISO Hemlock, and Kastov 762 have all been hit with nerfs following their dominance in the meta.

The bullet velocity of the explosive rounds attachment, which has helped make snipers a one-shot killers again, has also been toned down.

On the flip side, the likes of the M16, M13B, FTAC Recon, and Lachmann-556 have all been buffed. Lasers are now less visible too, following complaints from players about those giving away their positions.

The addition of the Maximum Armor Damage values also means that some weapons will have nerfs that only affectWarzone 2instead of Modern Warfare 2.
