Feb. 24 Warzone Update Includes Promised PPSh-41 Nerf

The Vanguard PPSh-41's stealth buff has seemingly been reverted in Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific.

As promised, after those in the community uncovered the stealth buff that Raven Software later confirmed as an "unintended" increase to both its base damage and location-based multipliers, the Vanguard PPSh-41 has been brought back in-line Thursday.

Feb. 24 Warzone Update Includes Promised PPSh-41 Nerf

Here are the official changes Raven have now made to the weapon:

PPSh-41 (VG)

• Neck Damage Multiplier increased to 1.3, up from 1.1
• Fixed an issue causing higher-than-intended Max/Mid/Min damage values for the PPSh-41 (VG)

Ultimately, while the bug making the Vanguard PPSh-41 hit much harder than usual has been stamped out, Raven did also buff its neck damage multiplier so perhaps not all is lost.

As discussed in our SMG tier list for Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Season 2, stealth buff or not, the Vanguard PPSh-41 is still one of the best close-range options in the game thanks to it having a fire rate that is as good, if not better than a lot of the existing options, as well as a 71-bullet capacity mag.
