A new update arrived to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone on June 4. The patch notes include a major nerf to one of Warzone’s most popular guns, fixes for killstreaks in multiplayer, and more.
For Modern Warfare 3, the Infected game mode received a few fixes and was returned to the Quick Play filter and private matches. Season 4’s new BlackCell Identity Theft finishing move should now work as expected on Infected team members, scores should properly display, and a previous disconnect error should be corrected.
Escort mode also received a fix that previously caused an inaccurate timer to display when a player joined a match in progress.
The patch notes include adjustments for two killstreaks. The Cluster Mine streak should now properly contribute towards a player’s killstreak earn progress, and the DNA Bomb is earnable by players using scorestreaks when they reach the streak’s requirement of a 25 killstreak.
A small Zombies update addressed an exploit that previously allowed players to bypass the mode’s stash size limits, and the DNA samples for the Critical Countdown Event can now be collected in Dark Aether Rifts.
On the Warzone side, the popular DG-58 LSW light machine gun was drastically nerfed, with the weapon’s minimum damage decreased from 27 to 22, and the maximum damage range dropped from 29.21 to 17.78 meters.
The developer says this adjustment was made because the DG-58 LSW was “a bit too dominant at range,” so a gradual damage falloff was added to keep the gun competitive at close-mid encounters, but it falls off slightly in long-range fights.
The update also changes the Season 4 Warzone Rewards challenge for Plunder. The challenge was previously requiring players to collect a specific amount of cash and not tracking progress, but the challenge has been changed to require players to complete 20 Plunder games instead. Hopefully, this new requirement is tracking properly.
The full patch notes for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 can be found below, as shared by Activision.
