CoD: Warzone And MW3 Patch Notes Include SMG Nerfs And Removal Of Night Vision Gulag

A new update arrived to both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone on March 19. The patch notes include changes to the Warhamer 40,000 LTM, removal of Warzone's night vision variant of the gulag, submachine gun balancing, and more.

For Modern Warfare 3, the update makes changes to Season 2 Reloaded's limited-time Juggermosh mode that's themed around Warhammer 40,000. Juggernauts are no longer immune to stun grenades, flash grenades, or the shock stick, and the update also addressed an exploit allowing players to equip custom loadouts in the mode.

A small change was made to the new Soulrender melee weapon in multiplayer, so players will no longer experience a delay after throwing equipment or swapping to the Soulrender.

The patch notes addressed a fix for an issue in Zombies modes where players could encounter an error message when viewing their Containment Levels from their player card. This update also includes various crash and stability fixes for the mode.

On the Warzone side, the update disabled the night vision variant of the Gulag, and laser attachments have also been removed and replaced in the Gulag loadouts.

Two of Warzone's most popular submachine guns are nerfed. The RAM-9 received a decrease to near-mid damage from 27 to 24 and a reduction to the mid damage from 24 to 22, while the HRM-9's max damage range was decreased from 12.95 to 11.30 meters.

Additionally, the Soulrender received the same update as multiplayer, with players no longer experiencing a delay after throwing equipment or swapping to the Soulrender.

The full patch notes for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 can be found below, as shared by Activision.
