Warzone April 16 patch notes: MTZ 556 and Holger 556 buffs, RAM 9 nerf, more

The newest patch for Warzone sees a handful of guns – including the MTZ 556, Holger 556, and RAM 9 – get their stats tweaked and a few bugs resolved.

Weapons are constantly changing in Warzone, and the April 16 update is continuing to do just that with changes to Assault Rifles, SMGs, and a sniper rifle.

While this patch is not going to be the most game-changing for the game, it still bears knowing what is being changed for the next time you dive into a match.

Here is the full breakdown of what is coming to the game and you can see the full patch notes here.
