Warzone 2 Season 6 is out now and the patch notes have given us a hint about the upcoming meta weapons. Nevertheless, this article will take a detailed look at each weapon nerf and buff in the newest update.

The Season 6 patch notes have changed the way we had been looking at Warzone 2 and it is meant to balance out every single weapon category. That is why, Activision devs have nerfed and buffed various weapons that have been in the meta for too long this season.

Weapons like the Kastov 762, the M13B, and the Signal-50 received heavy nerfs. That is why, they will not be in the game’s meta anymore. Let us take a look at what Activision gave us in the patch notes, shall we?
