October 1st marks the release of a new patch for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer, Warzone, and Zombies. There's a lot to unpack - changes to weapons, attachments, maps, and kill streaks. Without further ado, the new patch notes for CoD MW3.
Some of the important weapon adjustments include a slight damage increase for the M13C assault rifle and significant buffs to various shotguns, enhancing their effective ranges. Handguns like the P890 and .50 GS are getting damage buffs, while the X13 Auto benefits from reduced recoil. Lastly, the Guardian-SC killstreak can now be deployed even while standing in water.
