Season One for Call of Duty: Warzone is in full swing.
As players to continue to grind through the Battle Pass tiers, experiment with the Black Ops Cold War weapon arsenal, and drop into Rebirth Island, a heavily requested weapon balance has finally been implemented.

With several people offering a range of opinions on the recent nerf, it will be interesting to see what the next steps will be for Raven Software.
