This won’t be the first, nor the last,Warzoneweapon to receive a nerf. The latest Season ofWarzoneandCold Warbrought with it a substantial amount of weapon changes amongst other content.
Not only did the FFAR 1 have it’s damaged decreased, the Groza also received an increase in recoil control. These are just two of the many weapon changes that were introduced in Season 3, so make sure to read thefull patch notesto find out more.
CR-56 AMAX Nerf
In the latestWarzoneUpdate released on April 28, Raven Software included the following information in the patch notes.
It appears that the CR-56 AMAX will be one of three guns to receive a nerf in an upcoming update.
Possible Nerf Date
Raven Software didn’t exactly pinpoint when the weapon changes would be coming, but we expect it to either arrive in the nextWarzonePlaylist Update on April 29, or in the next patch which could arrive at the beginning of May.
Again, this is simply our speculation as no date has been confirmed by Raven Software for when the nerf will arrive. However, now that the nerf has been announced, we don’t expect it to be long until it arrives.
What Will Change
No exact details have been released about what will be changed in the AMAX nerf, but we expect it to decrease the damage or slightly increase the recoil control. These are the usual nerfs that weapons receive when they are deemed too powerful.
This is not official information regarding the upcoming changes, and simply personal speculation.
Since manyWarzoneweapons received a substantial nerf at the beginning of Season 3, players had turned back to the reliable AMAX as the new meta. But what will be the latest weapon meta now that the AMAX is set to receive a nerf?
It’s likely that the recently buffedCold WarAK-47 could become the new go-to weapon forWarzoneplayers. However, it’s also likely that many players will return to classicModern Warfareweapons such as the GRAU, Kilo, or M4A1.
If you want to get ahead of the game,check out this AK-47 loadoutthat could become the new meta once the AMAX receives a nerf.
