Modern Warfare 3 May 14 update patch notes: DG-58 nerf, JAK Wardens fix, more

Modern Warfare 3’s latest patch addresses the DG-58 LSW LMG’s rise, fixes the JAK Wardens and brings Prestige camos to MW2’s arsenal.

Although Season 3 is on its last legs, Sledgehammer Games has released a new patch addressing issues introduced during Season 3 Reloaded‘s arrival.

Primarily, the DG-58 LSW has been dominating of late, and this patch brings its damage multipliers down a smidge to keep the weapon in check. Players can also expect a bug fix for the JAK Wardens, and MW2’s weapons receive a bit more love as they’re now Weapon Prestige camo eligible.
