All Warzone season 5 weapon buffs and nerfs

The villains have arrived in Call of Duty: Warzone’s season five and they’ve brought a bunch of weapon buffs and nerfs with them.

The list of changes to existing guns is extensive. Some major changes include a buff to the long-running favorite Grau 5.56 from Modern Warfare and some pretty large buffs to the Marksman rifles in the game.

Meanwhile, several meta weapons were hit hard with some substantial nerfs, including the Armaguerra 43, H4 Blixen, and Marco 5. A new meta could easily begin forming over the next few days and weeks.

Here’s every buff and nerf that came to guns in the season five update for Warzone.
