All Weapon Buffs and Nerfs in Warzone Oct. 23 Patch Explained

The latest Call of Duty: Warzone patch on Oct. 23 delivered a handful of weapon buffs and nerfs, including another nerf to the broken Lockwood 300 Shotgun.

When Warzone Season 6 launched, Activision revealed a list of weapon changes in the hopes of balancing the Battle Royale's long-range meta. Unfortunately, the initial weapon buffs and nerfs did not account for the overpowered Lockwood Shotgun or the TR-76 Geist's immediate climb to the top of the assault rifle tier lists.

As The Haunting unfolds, the developers are still adjusting the assault rifle and shotgun metas to avoid a few OP guns taking over the game. Here's a breakdown of all the weapon buffs and nerfs in the Warzone Oct. 23 patch.
