Season 4 Reloaded patch notes bring plenty of weapon balancing
Within the Season 4 Reloaded patch notes, players will find that the three powerful weapons that saw nerfs are the ISO 45, Vaznev 9k, and TAQ 56.
There’s no doubt that the ISO 45 became an immediately dominant weapon when it was released in Season 4, but that reign may be over.
The weapon saw a reduction in its close-range damage and an increase in its hip spread. In addition to that, the weapon saw a reduction in its headshot damage as well, but only in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.
The TAQ 56 didn’t see nearly as much attention, but will also deal less headshot damage in Modern Warfare 2 games. This should help provide more options in the game and balance it out a bit.
In terms of the Vaznev 9k, it will have a different damage output when it comes to close-mid range. The weapon was strong all around before, and this should help give it more of an area of focus. This gives room for other weapons to slide in to fill that need should the nerf be enough to swap off of it.
That’s not all, though, in terms of rifles, the Kastov 762 and Kastov-74u also saw nerfs. Several shotguns and marksman rifles saw adjustments as well, and you can find the full Season 4 Reloaded patch notes for all weapon balancing here or below.
