Call of Duty: Warzone received major weapon balancing with the Season 4 Reloaded update on July 27, but now the developer revealed the patch notes for a new update on August 3, which includes a few bug fixes and several gun nerfs.

According to the patch notes, Season 4 Reloaded's new Vargo-S assault rifle received a buff for the Mirzoyan 414mm Custom barrel. This change increased the muzzle velocity by 35%, which Raven Software said was implemented because the gun's muzzle velocity was holding back the weapon's long-range viability.

While the Vargo-S received a buff, several popular Warzone weapons were nerfed in the update. Vanguard's NZ-41 assault rifle had a decrease to the weapon's headshot locational damage multiplier, dropping the damage down from 1.5 to 1.3. The KG M40 assault rifle also received a decrease to the weapon's headshot locational damage multiplier, but the gun did get a slight buff to the neck locational damage multiplier, increasing from 1.3 to 1.32.
