Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Weapon changes, new loadouts, and more in detail

As with any major COD update, our favorite weapons are often affected, and this MW2 patch is no exception. In this article, we'll take a look at the key nerfs, buffs, and new weapons in MW2's 3rd season.

RPK Nerf and RAAL MG Buff

For all RPK fans, there's bad news: the weapon is being weakened again, but only in close and medium range. But don't worry - the RPK remains a reliable option for your loadouts in Warzone 2. However, if you want to try something new, the RAAL MG could be interesting thanks to recent improvements according to the patch notes. Despite a reduction in normal headshot damage, the LMG benefits from significant damage improvements in the semi-automatic upper body, lower body, and headshot areas.

STB 556 and FTAC Recon receive buffs

In the 3rd season of Modern Warfare 2, there are many new weapons to master. The STB 556, a popular assault rifle from previous updates, receives damage increases for various areas, making it a strong competitor. The FTAC Recon from the Modern Warfare 2 universe also gets the much-needed attention: buffs for movement speed and three separate damage zones make the weapon stronger than ever.

M13B nerf and buff

Fans of the M13B should prepare for a change: Infinity Ward confirms reductions in headshot and upper body damage. To compensate for this, the M13B receives a buff for lower body damage and the mid-range damage area.

Nostalgic COD store bundles and Intervention

The 3rd season of Modern Warfare 2 offers not only weapon changes but also nostalgic COD store bundles and the opportunity to get the Modern Warfare 2 Intervention. This could be a good time to return to the latest COD if you haven't been active lately.

Conclusion: Lots of new things in the 3rd season of MW2

The 3rd season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 brings many exciting changes and new features for fans of the game. With the various weapon buffs and nerfs as well as nostalgic content, it's time to try out new loadouts and bring the game back to life. So, grab your Steam key and jump into the fray!
