Weapon Adjustments

When considering these changes in a vacuum, they may seem rather peculiar. Due to the nature of Vanguard Weapons, tuning is much less straightforward. Adjustments to base Weapons are not as impactful as they once were. Vanguard Attachments can completely alter the behavior of a Weapon—including its Damage profile, Fire Rate, and Recoil. When we make these adjustments, we are considering the Weapon holistically, in all its permutations. Our goal is for these Weapons to be just as viable with one of these Attachments as it can be with all of them. This allows the Weapons to support all sorts of playstyles and gameplay preferences rather than solely ‘Rapid Fire’.

Cooper Carbine (VG)
- Maximum Damage decreased to 24, down from 25
- Minimum Damage decreased to 19, down from 20
- ADS Speed decreased by 5.3%
Note: This change took effect in the previous update.

Attachment Adjustments

» Barrel «

Assault Rifle Charlie (VG)
- CGC 27” 2B
  - Horizontal Recoil Control decreased by 5%
  - Vertical Recoil Control decreased by 5%
- CGC 30” XL
  - Horizontal Recoil Control decreased by 5%
  - Vertical Recoil Control decreased by 5%

Call of Duty Warzone Update is live: As stated above, changes to Weapons and Attachments are not quite what they used to be. While we are reducing the amount of Recoil Control provided by these Barrels, this can easily be compensated for with other Attachments like Fore and Rear Grips. It may require popular builds to shift around somewhat, and as a result, other downsides like poor Mobility may become more apparent. We feel balancing risk versus reward is important. If each Weapon build were ‘one size fits all’, regardless of individual skill, we diminish our journey of mastery. Ideally, over time we graduate from needing an excess of Recoil Control from our attachments to prioritizing more beneficial attributes like Damage, Range, and Mobility.
