Today's release of Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 Reloaded has followed that trend, we already got a look at the Black Ops Cold War changes and now its time for the battle royale and again you may find yourself looking for a new primary in Season 3 Reloaded especially if you run a sub-machine gun.
But whatever weapon you run, we have you covered with all the weapon buffs and nerfs in Warzone Season 3 reloaded.
