Warzone September 15 update: All weapon buffs and nerfs

Raven Software has announced that a brand-new Warzone patch update is arriving on the 16th of September. This latest update comes a week after the release of the Season 5 Reloaded patch dropped. Although the new patch doesn’t contain any new feature content, there are several weapons that received buffs and nerfs.

Moreover, this latest Warzone update introduces only one change in the attachment category. This means that we may expect meta changes in a few gunsmith loadouts going forward. Without further adieu, here is the complete list of weapons and attachments adjustments in the Warzone 15th September update.

All weapon buffs and nerfs coming to Warzone on September 16th

Raven Software announced that a total of eight weapons have been adjusted, in an early update post via Twitter. The developers later clarified that the changes would only take effect from the following day, on the 16th of September.
