Call of Duty Warzone’s popular SP-R 208 rifle has been significantly nerfed
Latest patch also fixes an issue where players could survive in the gas while on the subway fast travel system
The latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone patch significantly nerfs the SP-R 208 rifle.
Introduced with Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 6, the SP-R 208 marksman rifle is a free Battle Pass unlock at tier 15.
Prior to its release, Activision said the bolt-action rifle “is notoriously reliable at any range, able to compete with sniper rifles while still being a marksman rifle at its core”.

Offering a one-shot kill to the upper chest, neck, or head in multiplayer, it’s proven a popular choice among players since its release given that it’s widely perceived to have been overpowered.
Today’s patch notes, which are republished in full below, also include a fix for an issue where players could survive in the gas while on the subway fast travel system.
