Warzone’s latest update nerfs the DMR and Type 63, fixes the infinite stim glitch
Overpowered weapons rebalanced for the second time in a week
Raven Software has released a new Call of Duty Warzone update which further reduces the effectiveness of two of the game’s most overpowered weapons.
A patch released last week reduced headshot damage and increased recoil when using the DMR and Type 63, both of which have been nerfed again in the latest update, along with some attachments for the two guns.
The burst pistol has been rebalanced too (see full patch notes below).

The update also includes a fix for the infinite stim glitch, which has become a recurring problem in Warzone. Some players have been abusing the exploit to infinitely heal themselves with stim packs while in the gas, virtually guaranteeing a win.
It has been reported this week that a game-breaking glitch which causes players to appear invisible to opponents has returned to Warzone, having first appeared in December.
Publisher Activision is reportedly preparing to launch a new Cold War-themed Warzone map to coincide with the game’s first anniversary in March 2021.
In the same way that Verdansk is partially comprised of Modern Warfare’s Ground War maps, with the large multiplayer arenas stitched together, the new Warzone map is said to be a combination of Black Ops Cold War’s Fireteam maps.
Call of Duty servers were down for a few hours on Tuesday, meaning players were unable to connect to Warzone, Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare.
