As Raven Software works to balance and squash bugs in Call of Duty: Warzone, a second update rolled out on December 15. The most recent update brings a few more bug fixes and some major weapon tuning, while the previous December 15 update squashed several bugs and made changes to the Automaton assault rifle.
The updated patch notes show the Cooper Carbine assault rifle was drastically nerfed. This includes a decrease to the gun’s maximum damage range, neck damage multiplier, and lower torso damage multiplier. The recoil was also increased slightly. Another assault rifle to receive a heavy nerf is the Volkssturmgewehr, as the gun received a decrease to the neck damage multiplier, lower torso damage multiplier, and ADS speed.

Now Playing: Call of Duty: Vanguard & Warzone Pacific Season One Battle Pass Trailer
Adjustments hit most of Vanguard’s handguns. The Klauser, Machine Pistol, RATT, and Top Break all received nerfs. Previously, Vanguard’s shotgun classes were all very powerful, but they’ve also been downgraded. The Combat Shotgun and Einhorn Revolving got decreased maximum damage range and second damage range, while the Gracey Auto shotgun got reduced maximum damage range, second damage range, second damage amount, and third damage amount.
Vanguard’s snipers haven’t been up to par in Warzone, but the patch notes confirm a buff to the 3-Line Rifle, Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle, and Type 99 snipers. This update adds an increase to their damage ranges to hopefully make them more viable.
Players can also expect to find a new variety of weapons with this latest update. The patch notes reveal that the ground and supply box loot found on Caldera has been refreshed from the previous offerings.
Several bug fixes and exploits were patched as well. The update included more fixes for collision issues allowing players to peek or shoot through walls and rocks. It also addresses bugs causing placeholder images to appear on social menus and in various store bundle previews.
Additionally, players should see a reduction in cheaters within Warzone, as Call of Duty’s Ricochet kernel-level driver went worldwide earlier today. Here is everything revealed about the December 15 anti-cheat update.
The full patch notes can be found below, as shared by Raven Software.
Warzone updates carry on as walkouts continue in protest of surprise contract terminations within Raven Software’s QA team. Activision Blizzard faces lawsuits and other investigations related to alleged sexual harassment and discrimination against women.
