Warzone Season 2 has brought back the WSP-9 SMG, which now feels more like a battle rifle with its increased punch and significant damage range buff. Additionally, the XRK Stalker stands out with its ability to one-shot enemies within a 50m range with explosive rounds. The TR-76 Geist from MW2 has also received a notable body damage buff. While several MW2 weapons on the list received buffs, others, like the RPK, saw minor improvements in mobility and accuracy.

Similarly, the Holger 556 and Bas-B have experienced mobility reductions. The HRM-9, now more akin to an SMG than a lightweight AR, has seen a decrease in its damage range. Several MW3 shotguns in Warzone have been nerfed, making ranged shots more challenging. Additionally, the KVD Enforcer and MTZ Interceptor have faced significant nerfs, impacting their effectiveness in gameplay.
