Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 nerfs the game’s best weapons

Activision Blizzard Activision has released a new Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 update that nerfs the game’s best long-range weapons: the Cronen Squall and the ISO Hemlock. Specifically, the damage across both weapons has been reduced, making them both less effective in all situations. The news comes from the battle royale game’s latest round of patch notes, which outlines the new changes to the weapons. There are some major implications to those changes, though the updates aren’t as devastating as they might initially…

Is Warzone 2.0 worth playing 6 months after launch?

Six months after its initial release, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 has evolved tremendously, with many new features added as part of major updates. Despite this, the game still feels slightly unfinished in ways, lacking some of the features that made the original so great. Warzone 2.0 is a complex beast that may steer newcomers away, but if players can learn to master it, the battle royale can be a lot of fun, especially with a team. But with so much competition in the battle royale space, is Warzone 2.0 worth your time…

Turn this Warzone 2.0 rifle into a powerhouse with one easy trick

There are a handful of midrange to long-range meta weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, with nearly all of them performing in a balanced way. Some, like the Kastov 762, hit like a truck, but are hard to control, while the ISO Hemlock deals less damage, but has virtually no recoil. But the Cronen Squall, a battle rifle that launched during Season 3, is immensely overpowered, and has almost zero recoil. It has the ability to take down an opponent in three to six shots, making it grossly unbalanced, but the weapon does…

Warzone 2.0 Ranked fixes my biggest battle royale pet peeve

As part of the Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 3 Reloaded update, Activision finally added a long-awaited Ranked mode. While the mode plays almost exactly like standard battle royale on Al Mazrah, it has a number of minor differences that give it an edge. Though there’s one feature in particular that stands out, as it fixes one of my biggest pet peeves in the battle royale genre. In Ranked, players are discouraged from quitting partway through a match, giving squads a better chance of coming out on top. Placement is…

Warzone 2.0 Season 3 Reloaded is the game’s best update yet

Since Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0’s launch, Activision has slowly made improvements to the shooter, with each season being more fun than the last. It’s been a slow burn, but with the launch of Season 3 Reloaded, Warzone 2.0 finally feels like it’s in a decent spot. There’s still much to improve upon, but given the sheer number of fixes and quality-of-life features that have been added with the latest season, I’m finally optimistic about the future of this game. Ranked is surprisingly fun The most notable addition to…

Warzone 2.0’s overpowered new DMZ bundle ignites pay-to-win fears

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 has struggled to retain players due to odd gameplay decisions and controversial mechanics that have divided the community. A new feature, though, has players especially up in arms. Recently, publisher Activision released an in-game store bundle that some players consider a “pay-to-win” option, stirring up criticism once again. The paid bundle, “Roze and Thorn,” gives DMZ players a free unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that temporarily reveals the locations of enemy players at the start of a…

Here’s a better alternative to Warzone 2.0’s one-shot snipers

Activision finally added the ability to earn one-hit kills with certain snipers as part of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 3. This was a much-needed update that makes heavy rifles more viable. However, this comes with a major caveat, as the only way to earn a one-hit kill is by utilizing explosive rounds on a small selection of snipers, which absolutely tanks a weapon’s bullet velocity. This makes it extremely difficult to actually hit your shots, so inexperienced players won’t really reap the benefits of the…

Warzone 2.0 Plunder mode alleviates the stress of battle royale

Call of Duty has been in a rough spot lately, with declining player counts and frustration from the community. But Activision has offset some of the negativity, at least slightly, with the release of the Plunder mode in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. This fan-favorite mode was introduced in the original Warzone, but was absent from the sequel until now. In Plunder, the focus isn’t necessarily on surviving, but rather on collecting as much cash as possible. Respawns are enabled and loadouts are available by default, and…

Warzone 2.0 still feels like its in beta despite Season 3 changes

Activision hyped its Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 3 update considerably ,with numerous blog posts showcasing what to expect, along with a content creator call that detailed a slew of highly requested features. Now that the update is live, some members of the game’s community are left feeling misled, as Season 3 isn’t quite the radical change they were expecting. While it does include new features and fix some of the sequel’s long-standing issues, Warzone 2.0 is still packed with problems — many of which make the…

In this guide, we’ll show you the best loadouts for the…
