warzone season 4 roadmap

The Warzone June 30 update adds lootable Perks on Fortune’s Keep, fixed the UAV bug, buffed Snipers, and made significant nerfs to popular weapons such as the H4 Blixen and NZ-41. 

JGOD exposed a UAV bug on Fortune’s Keep and the latest patch addresses the issue. The NZ-41 currently dominates the Warzone meta, but a previously hinted at nerf has finally arrived for the powerful AR.

Sniper Rifles fell out of the meta in favor of hyper-accurate ARs, but the update gives significant muzzle velocity increases to the Kar98k, Type 99, and Line Rifle. The H4 Blixen no longer excells in mid-range engagements as its damage range has drastically been reduced and the NZ-41 recoil now falls more in line with other ARs.

The UGM-8 was hit hard by the update as its max damage and muzzle velocity were nerfed into the ground. The update also nerfed powerful attachments such as the MX-Silencer, M1941 Handstop, and Lengthened ammunition.
