Call Of Duty Season 5

Credit: Activision

Season 5 Reloaded is now live in Modern Warfare II and Warzone and brings a bunch of new content to both games, including a new multiplayer map and the new Fortress Resurgence mode that takes place in the Al Bagra region of the big Al Mazrah map.

Three new weapons have also been added to both games: The Icepick, the Lachmann Shroud SMG and the 9mm Daemon Pistol.

Some of the biggest changes, however, take place behind the scenes where the devs have tinkered extensively with dozens of weapons in both games. This update is largely about increasing damage, damage range, damage multipliers, increasing mobility and various other buffs.

Shotguns have undergone some changes, making slugs more potent while reducing damage range and accuracy without slugs. Most SMGs, Assault Rifles and Marksman Rifles have gotten buffs, with very few exceptions.

Here are all the changes made in the Season 5 Reloaded update.

In Warzone, most weapons were buffed with the exception being rocket launchers and LMGs. The exception to this are the perennial nerfing favorites: The ISO Hemlock and Cronen Squall, which both took hits.

For Warzone gun changes, the developers write:

We are generally pleased with Weapon diversity and viability in Warzone. For example, the Submachine Gun category is very healthy, with a staggering six SMGs falling within a 10-percentage point difference in Kill Death Ratio at the highest skill levels. Among them, the Vaznev-9K, VEL 46, and at the top—perhaps surprisingly, the PDSW 528. While this is great news, we recognize that not all categories are enjoying that same level of competition. This update is focused on introducing further viability into the long-range engagement space. This update also includes a reduction in Launcher damage against Players. We will be monitoring their performance following the launch of Season 5 Reloaded and if they continue to be problematic anti-personnel Weapons, we will make further adjustments.
