Modern Warfare 2’s sniper rifles are currently underpowered in Call of Duty: Warzone, but as revealed by the ModernWarzone news account, the developer has teased a game-changing buff to those sniper rifles.

With Modern Warfare 2’s initial integration with Warzone, sniper rifles required two shots to take down opponents. A change was later made to offer one-shot capabilities for the snipers, but only if the player equipped an ammo attachment like explosive rounds. The need for an attachment makes the older sniper rifles like MW2’s FJX Imperium much less viable when stacked against MW3’s more-powerful snipers like the MORS and KATT-AMR.

However, a future update will apparently allow the MW2 sniper rifles to offer one-shot kills in Warzone without needing any special attachments equipped. ModernWarzone says the news came from a creator call with Warzone’s developer earlier this week, but a specific date wasn’t provided for the update.

Call of Duty Season 5 arrived for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone earlier today. The seasonal update did not include changes to those older snipers, but MW2’s M4 assault rifle did receive a buff to make the weapon more viable at longer ranges. All of the weapon changes can be found in our highlights of the patch notes, and you can also view everything in the Season 5 battle pass here.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is now available on Game Pass, but it’s only available for specific tiers of the pass. Come from South African Online Casinos
