Call of Duty: Warzone Patch Nerfs The DMR Again

Anoth­er patch for Call of Duty: War­zone has been released, deliv­er­ing more changes to the DMR, among oth­er weapon bal­ances. It also fix­es a major bug with stims. Raven Soft­ware released the patch notes on Twit­ter, but removed it short­ly afterwards.

Char­lieIn­tel man­aged to nab the patch notes before they were removed. How­ev­er, Raven Soft­ware has since rein­stat­ed the patch notes in anoth­er tweet.

The DMR 14 has seen a bunch of nerfs, with the recoil increased slight­ly, a bul­let pen­e­tra­tion decrease and increased dam­age falloff ranges, among oth­ers changes. The Type 63 also saw a few adjust­ments, with sim­i­lar nerfs the DMR expe­ri­enced. Mean­while the Burst Pis­tol has seen a max dam­age reduc­tion by 11 percent. 

As for the Stim changes, play­ers can no longer exploit the game for infi­nite stim packs when drop­ping their weapons while cook­ing a grenade. You can see the full patch notes for the update, below:
