Call of Duty

Call of Duty: Warzone’s Sept. 23 update is the latest to adjust the game’s balance, this time by nerfing the Bullfrog and Gallo while buffing the Krig 6. The update also brings changes to the Iron Trials mode.

The Bullfrog had its ADS speed decreased by 9%, its movement speed decreased by 1% and its ADS movement speed decreased by 2%. The nerf to ADS speed is the most significant attempt to bring the weapon in line with its competitors in the SMG category, as will a bug fix for excessive recoil reduction tied to the Bullfrog.

The Gallo, also known as the Shotgun Bravo, had its maximum damage range decreased from 4.5 meters to 3.5 meters, its second damage range decreased from 8.1 to 5.5 meters, and its third damage range decreased from 13.2 to 9.9 meters. Development studio Raven Software says these changes will make it feel “more like a Shotgun and less like a Sniper.”

Meanwhile, the Krig 6 received buffs to its recoil management attachments.

On the Iron Trials ’84 front, Raven has added a Specialist Token to Buy Stations. These Tokens give players all the perks in the game. Supply Run discounts are also now 50% on every item except Team Redeploy (100%), Loadout Drop Marker (10%), and Specialist Token (10%).

For the rest of the changes in the update, see the full patch notes below.

Iron Trials ’84

The following changes are exclusive to the Iron Trials ’84 mode:

Buy Stations

We suspect very few people will be able to say they’ve purchased a Specialist Token. However, we do feel there is an opportunity to provide high tier Players with additional impactful outlets for their hard earned resources. Additionally, further enabling purchasing power with Hardline is something we would like to continue to explore.

Contracts

Recon

Scavenger

Bounty

Supply Run

We recognize that this may be a polarizing change, but we feel it is a necessary one. When we gate access to Loadouts behind a large price tag, as is the case, we force players to continue moving around the map. This works to disincentivize camping. While we do not anticipate this change will have a large impact on the most skilled Players – those who stay put and avoid engagements will find themselves resource strained and quickly falling behind. This is part of how we subtly encourage map movement and fighting. Additionally, we feel scavenging, being resourceful, and barely scraping by is part of what adds to the charm and intensity of the Trials. This dynamic makes room for, and emphasizes other facets of skill like movement, teamwork, strategy, and map knowledge. By delaying Loadout acquisition, we are further smoothing out player power such that each increase to it is much more noticeable and allows more room for those secondary skillsets to shine. We will be monitoring the mode and Player feedback closely to ensure this change is having the intended effect.

Gulag

We feel an emphasis on Submachine Guns and Assault Rifles better suits this version of the Gulag.

Melee

Loot

The XM4 (BOCW) and Bullfrog (BOCW) Attachments are now more closely aligned with popular builds.

Submachine Guns

Bullfrog (BOCW)

The Bullfrog (BOCW) is a true jack of all trades. It has great Mobility, Effective Damage Range, Handling, and base Magazine Capacity – which would often act as a free Attachment. These changes, in conjunction with a Recoil bug fix, will bring the Bullfrog (BOCW) much closer to the competition.

Shotgun Bravo (BOCW)

The Shotgun Bravo (BOCW) has been incredibly dominant due to its Effective Damage Range, Magazine Capacity, Mobility, and Rate of Fire. By reducing its Effective Damage Ranges, the Shotgun Bravo (BOCW) will begin to feel more like a Shotgun and less like a Sniper.

Barrels

Krig 6 (BOCW)

19.7” Takedown

19.7” Ranger

15.5” Contour

15” CMV Mil-Spec

Given the Krig 6’s (BOCW) most recent adjustments, we felt it was appropriate to increase the effectiveness of its Recoil Control Attachments slightly.

AK-47 (BOCW)

18.2” Takedown

20” Liberator

18.2” VDV Reinforced

20” Spetsnaz RPK Barrel

XM4 (BOCW)

13.7” Takedown

13.7” Ranger

13.5” Reinforced Heavy

13.5” Task Force
