Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Season 02 Reloaded has arrived and there is an array of fresh content to dive into. New Path of Ronin quests have arrived, along with a fresh Raid, a new 6v6 multiplayer map, and more. Alongside the content drop, a set of weapon buffs and nerfs has landed in Warzone 2 which could shake up the meta.
In this round of weapon balancing, the popular RPK has once again been hit with a further nerf, along with the RAAL MG which has been a strong contender in Warzone 2. Also, a handful of submachine guns have been tweaked, but the dominant Fennec 45 doesn’t feature this time around.
