Warzone Season 5 Reloaded Weapon Tweaks: All Nerfs, Buffs, and Rebalances

We've compiled a comprehensive breakdown of all the weapons that have received changes in the Call of Duty (COD): Warzone Season 5 Reloaded patch.

The patch officially went live around the world on Sept. 9 at 5 a.m. BST—but North American players were able to download it on Sept. 8 at 9 p.m. PT (12 a.m. ET). It included several additions to the playlist rotation, new modes, and maps. What we're interested in, however, are the weapons.

Warzone Season 5 Reloaded Weapon Tweaks
