Modern Warfare and Warzone Update Buffs FAL and Nerfs Bruen

Modern Warfare and Warzone update went live Aug. 11 finally nerfing the overpowered Bruen MK9 light-machine gun.

The Bruen MK9 has been the go-to medium and long range weapon for players in Warzone Season 4. The LMG, often paired with a sniper rifle or MP5, was the premier Overkill loadout. If you played a game of Call of Duty: Warzone, the chances of running into a player with a Bruen was more than likely.

Fans rejoiced at the latest weapon update as the Bruen was finally tuned.

Modern Warfare and Warzone Update Buffs FAL and Nerfs Bruen

Here's a full list of weapon changes in the Aug. 11 update:

FAL

• Increased headshot damage (Two hit at range with one headshot)
• Reduced near damage (limbs and lower torso always three shot)

Holger-26

• Increased damage range
• Increased ADS speed

Bruen MK9

• Reduced damage range

M91

• Increased near damage
• Increased ADS speed

LMGs were a major part of the patch, but don't expect the Bruen to just be dropped completely. The Grau 5.56 remained a top weapon even after its nerf.

A talking point hat might go unnoticed is that the FAL received a notable buff. The single shot assault rifle was originally used as a close range weapon, but the range buff might see players opt into the FAL as a long range option.

Fans might also give the Holger-26 a try as the damage range buff might make it the next weapon of choice for players.
