TAQ Evolvere Nerf in Warzone
In a surprising move, the latest Warzone update focuses on nerfing the TAQ Evolvere, which has quickly become the most popular weapon in the battle royale game. This gun has been dominating both short and long-range gunfights.
During season two, Raven Software decided to buff the TAQ Evolvere. They increased its maximum and minimum damage and introduced new near-to-mid damage and range values. This update aimed to prevent any significant drop-off in damage during longer-ranged gunfights. However, a few days later, the CoD developers made the weapon even stronger through a minor update. They increased its movement speed and the effect of target flinch.
