Just yesterday, Infinity Ward mentioned that they were doing a weapon tuning pass on the AS VAL and SP-R 208 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone given how overpowered both guns were in their current state. Well, the Modern Warfare & Warzone update today October 8 server-side patch is now live, and yep, it nerfs both guns!
Note that there is no actual download for this update, as it will automatically be applied once you connect to the game’s servers.
