Warzone Update: DG-58 LSW Nerfs

The developers at Raven Software explained in the patch notes that the DG-58 LSW was too dominant at long-range encounters. To address this issue, they implemented a gradual damage falloff, making the weapon competitive in close to mid-range fights but less effective in long-range engagements.

Community Concerns and Feedback

While some players welcomed the changes to the DG-58 LSW, others expressed dissatisfaction with yet another nerf to a powerful weapon. Content creator JGod took to Twitter to voice his concerns about the lack of buffs for underperforming guns, highlighting a common sentiment within the community.

According to JGod, “Actively making guns feel bad doesn’t feel like it should be the move,” questioning the developers’ approach to balancing weapons in Warzone.

Throughout Warzone’s history, there has been a trend of nerfing strong weapons instead of buffing weaker ones. The DG-58 LSW may be the latest casualty of this balancing strategy, but players are already anticipating more changes in the upcoming Reloaded update for season four.

What’s Next for Warzone?

As we look ahead to the next season of Warzone, rumors are circulating about new weapons arriving in the game. With these additions, it is likely that more weapon balancing adjustments will be made to ensure a fair and competitive gameplay experience for all players.

Stay tuned for more updates and patch notes as the Warzone meta continues to evolve with each new release. It’s time to adapt your loadout and strategies to stay ahead of the competition in the ever-changing landscape of Warzone.
