Call of Duty Update Addresses Overpowered Weapon Issue

Highlights

  • The latest patch for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone targeted the TAQ Evolvere, which had become unexpectedly potent after a previous update.
  • The TAQ Evolvere had received various enhancements to its performance, resulting in minimal recoil, but the recent update has rectified this situation.
  • In addition to fixing recoil problems, the update also adjusted the ammunition types for the TAQ Evolvere, decreasing their effectiveness in terms of damage and range. Warzone experienced more significant alterations compared to Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer.

A recent update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone has addressed concerns regarding the TAQ Evolvere. This LMG had unexpectedly become a dominant force following a recent update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

The February 13 update for Call of Duty buffed several weapons including the Striker 9, WSP Stinger, and TAQ Evolvere. While the enhancements to the SMG and handgun were generally well received, players were taken aback by the overwhelming performance of the TAQ Evolvere. In Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer, the LMG saw boosts to its movement speed, damage, range, and 556 Belt Magazine attachment. In Warzone, the TAQ Evolvere also received improvements to its movement speed, target flinch, and 556 Belt Magazine. Users quickly noticed the LMG's almost non-existent recoil in both game modes following the update, a concern that has now been addressed in the latest patch notes from Call of Duty.

The February 16 update for Call of Duty fixed a bug that was causing issues with the TAQ Evolvere's recoil, a fix that should now be evident in both Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer and Warzone. Additionally, the TAQ Evolvere in Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer had its 5.56 Ammunition toned down. As for Warzone, the TAQ Evolvere underwent substantial changes. Both its 7.62 Ammunition and 5.56 Ammunition were significantly adjusted, including reductions to their damage, range, and upper body damage modifiers. Furthermore, the update introduced an additional enhancement to Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer by enabling the DM56 and MCW 6.8 Conversion Kits to correctly progress the Prophetic Squish challenge, part of the Cryptic Bootcamp Event.

Among the latest additions to Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3 recently introduced new playlists such as Departures 24/7, Snipers Only, and Hordepoint: Hellhound Pound. The first two playlists are self-explanatory, while Hellhound Pound incorporates the Zombies mode's Hellhounds into the revamped Hordepoint, where two teams compete in Hardpoint matches on standard maps while fending off zombies. These updates are exciting for Modern Warfare 3 enthusiasts, but there is intriguing news surrounding the upcoming Call of Duty title.

Speculated Release Month for Call of Duty 2024

A recent leak suggested that Microsoft's Phil Spencer confirmed to employees that Call of Duty 2024 is set to launch in October. This marks an earlier release compared to last year's Modern Warfare 3, which debuted in early November. The status regarding whether the game will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one remains uncertain following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
