Warzone patch notes: Raven nerf MG 82 today, Call of Duty Nail Gun could be next

Developers Raven Software have not wasted time in bringing Warzone’s MG 82 back down to Earth.
Having started life with little recoil and plenty of ammo to eliminate enemies, the Call of Duty dev team has made some big changes to the LMG.
According to today’s Warzone patch notes, the MG 82’s Vertical and Horizontal Recoil has been increased, while its damage has been dialled down.
A message from Raven explains: “We had envisioned the MG 82 (BOCW) as a short to mid-range Light Machine Gun given its relatively fast handling, mobility, and rate of fire.
“However, it also retained many powerful LMG traits like damage profile, bullet velocity, and magazine size, all while having negligible recoil.
“These factors in combination created one of the most dominant weapons to land in Verdansk. Do not be deceived by the magnitude of these changes. The damage per magazine and rate of fire is still top tier, so we expect the MG 82 to remain viable.”
