A small update arrived to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 on May 31. While the patch notes mostly address bug fixes across all modes, a major nerf hits the Cronen Squall battle rifle as well.

Season 3's Cronen Squall battle rifle has been a powerful choice for multiplayer and battle royale, but the patch notes include a series of nerfs to the weapon across all modes. The weapon adjustments include reduced damage range, reduced headshot multiplier, a small increase to recoil while the gun is in semi-auto mode, and a small reduction to the rate of fire in semi-auto mode. Additionally, the update reduced maximum damage per shot against armor in Warzone 2.

The only other gun affected by the update is the ISO Hemlock assault rifle. The change includes a nerf specifically for Warzone 2, which reduces damage to armor for 5.56 ammunition.

For Warzone 2's Ranked Play mode, the competitive ruleset for private matches has been updated to match the most current version of Ranked Play, meaning custom matches should show the recent attachment and killstreak restrictions from the previous update.

Additional Warzone 2 Ranked Play adjustments include a fix for an issue in which a player's earned seasonal rewards would not show in the After Action Report, and it corrected an issue where SR for the final kill was not being awarded.

In DMZ mode, the update fixed an issue where exiting the firing range could previously result in weapons and blueprints appearing incorrectly.

The full patch notes for May 31 can be found below, as shared by Activision.

In other news, streamers NickMercs and TimTheTatman now have their own Call of Duty operator bundles in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. The bundles are 2,400 CoD Points ($20) each, and include weapon blueprints, a finishing move, unique operator voice lines, and more.
