The latest update has arrived to Call of Duty: Warzone, and while the July 7 patch notes are a bit on the light side, players can expect some bug fixes and gun nerfs for the battle royale.

According to Raven Software's patch notes, nerfs have struck two of Warzone's popular weapons. Vanguard's H4 Blixen submachine gun received a decrease in the lower torso damage multiplier from 1.1 down to 1.0, while the NZ-41 assault rifle was adjusted to have a 20% reduction to the gun's recoil recovery. The developer said the result of the NZ-41's change is a noticeable difference in recoil intensity, and the adjustment was originally intended to be implemented with the previous Warzone update.

For bug fixes, the update addressed an issue with Fortune Keep's graveyard Easter egg, which previously caused the challenge to summon more zombies than intended. On Caldera, an issue was corrected that caused eliminated players in Storage Town to respawn at Village while playing Plunder mode. Additionally, more areas of the Caldera map were fixed to prevent players from exploiting, peeking, or shooting through them. While not included in the patch notes, Raven Software tweeted to

The new Call of Duty is scheduled to release on October 28, and here is everything we know so far about Modern Warfare 2.
