Infinity Ward has released a surprise new update forCall of Duty: Modern Warfarethat is rolling out to all platforms. The update doesn’t add new content to the game, but it does make some important bug fixes and balance changes, particularly when it comes to the.357 Snake Shot pistols.
For the uninitiated, the .357 Snake Shot pistols inCall of Duty: Modern Warfarehave been considered overpowered for quite some time. The introduction of the Akimbo perk has made the .357 Snake Shot pistols that much more overpowered, with many players abusing the weapons on the smaller maps like Shipment and Rust. The newCall of Duty: Modern Warfareupdate “rebalances” the .357 Snake Shot damage. Additionally, a bug has been fixed that made .357 Snake Shot damage too high when shooting from longer distances.

While the most significant changes have been made to the .357 Snake Shot pistols in the new update, it includes some other changes as well. The update addresses various exploits that have been discovered in Ground War Infected, and it also helps to “prevent vehicle exploits,” though specifics are unavailable at this time. It’s possible that this is in reference to somevehicle exploits that have been discovered inWarzonewhere players were using helicopters to get under the map, but that has yet to be clarified.
