The update was announced today, andCall of Duty: Warzone’sdevelopers, and fans immediately focused on the adjustment to the CR-56 AMAX, which once dominated the meta. It has been several seasons since the weapon caused any problems, but developers appear to be balancing it nonetheless. While the title only says “balance adjustments,” many fans are expecting a nerf as developers have been reducing stats on weapons throughout the game.Call of Duty: Warzonehas many guns in need of a nerf, but fans believe the CR-56 AMAX is not one of them.
One player on Twitter who goes by Sgorr noticed the AMAX on the list. As theCall of Duty: Warzoneplayer points out, with the Cr-56 AMAXbeing adjusted, many will lose their long-to-mid range option in the assault rifle category. This is assuming the update is a nerf rather than a buff, which may bring the weapon back intoCall of Duty: Warzone’smeta if it happens.
Another fan on Twitter, Barlton, predicts a larger impact in the upcoming update. The developers have been adjusting weapons, and many of the nerfs make guns underpowered compared to other options. If the trend continues, it is possible that all the weapons will be underpowered, and the game will slowly become unplayable to many, according to the player. TheCall of Duty: Warzonecommunityseems like it would rather see buffs than continued nerfs to fan-favorite options.
