Raven Software and Infinity Ward have just rolled a new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Warzone 2.0 has been released today, May 16. This update brings significant changes to weapon balancing, bug fixes, and tweaks to different game modes.

The update introduces several changes aimed at rebalancing the power of different handguns. In Warzone 2.0, close-range headshot armor damage has been reduced for the GS Magna and X13 Auto handguns. Similar changes have been made for players using Akimbo for these weapons, with the added inclusion of a minimum armor damage limit. The FTAC Siege also sees a decrease in armor damage in Warzone 2.0. For the complete patch notes, check below:
