Assault Rifle changes in Warzone Season 4 Reloaded update
The Assault Rifle changes have tweaked 17 weapons. Most of the changes are were nerfs, from the newer C58 to the classic RAM-7 and others.
The most notable adjustment was damage multiplier reductions. Usually, the Assault Rifles had their Headshot multipliers reduced while others had their Upper and Lower Torso modifiers reduced as well.
Specifically, guns like the FARA 83 were hit with more recoil, the others like the XM4 got an ADS speed nerf as well. In general, Assault Rifles should feel slightly weaker in hopes of increasing the average TTK “across multiple weapon categories,” Raven outlined.
“With reductions to these multipliers, we are placing a bigger emphasis on precision — a move which we feel is ultimately healthy for the game.”
