All weapon changes in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 2

RPK and Fennec have received some serious nerfs. In the Season 2 update, the developers reduced the damage of the Fennec SMG, as well as the damage, range, and aiming time of the RPK.

Weapon customization update

Our goal with weapon customization has always been to provide players with deep customization of their favorite weapon: creating unique gear for their personal play style. After exploring weapon customization in Season 01, we want to offer more benefits to players by raising the pros and reducing the cons of customization. We aim to make the system more useful for players in the future without sacrificing the overall balance of weapons in the game.

Setting up balances

• Enabled setting for laser attachments.
• The customization sliders have been updated for numerous attachments.
• Increased the values ​​of some useful customization attributes.
• The values ​​of some detrimental customization attributes have been reduced.
