The virtual battlefield of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone underwent significant changes today as Infinity Ward rolled out a comprehensive update that affects both gameplay and ranked play and resolves a series of bugs that players have faced in recent weeks.
Players of Modern Warfare 2 will notice a significant change in the damage and range of the Underbarrel Dragon’s Breath Shotgun attachment. To balance gameplay, developers have reduced their power.
Further extending their commitment to maintaining fair play, developers have added the Corvus Torch Underbarrel attachment to the list of restricted items in MWII Ranked Play. Meanwhile, in Warzone, two weapons have been put on the restricted list: the X13 Auto and the Basilisk. This step is part of a broader initiative to ensure competitive and fair matches in Warzone’s Ranked Play.
Below you can find the full changelog.
