New warzone & modern warfare 3 update patch notes revealed!
ladies and gentlemen.

I was certainly not expecting any actual patch note updates to go live today.
New weapon updates, perk fix, & gameplay changes in mw3 & warzone
But nonetheless here we are now we're starting first on the multiplayer and zombies page we've got our Tuesday January 23rd update now live so for Global updates here with customization, operator skins and blueprints that are not actively available in the store can now be purchased directly via the Armory, this does not include limited time upcoming or discounted items but an interesting update if you're looking for specific skins or specific blueprints that you might not always have available in like the 4u section of your store there in multiplayer for UI and ux address an issue causing camo challenges to appear multiple times during the after action report so just a visual bug there selecting the carck 300 11k, optic attach.
No longer unexpectedly kick the player back to the menu. Another small Quality of Life Update revised multiple attachment descriptions to better reflect their true effects, including the X10 ER X10 mini optic, the TAC 840c stock, and the CDG. T25 light Barrel also revised the fully loaded challenge descriptions to clarify attachment requirements for the fully loaded camo challenges.
You have to have all five attachments on a gun, and that's what they're looking for there, so they just made that easier to understand. The broken signal camo for the TAC evolver can now be progressed to completion. You'll love to see that, and then the electric shock event challenge will now track progress as intended.
You'll love to see that as well. For modes souped up in limited-time mode, the temp V abilities can now be earned more than once per life. They also adjusted the columns displayed on the in-match scoreboard for kills, confirms, and denies in private matches. They also updated the rule set for CDL.
Now we have some interesting multiplayer-based weapon and attachment updates. There are many balance adjustments in today's update. Target aftermarket parts In the following section, you'll find insights from our design team that aim to explain the intent behind some changes. One goal of our design team is to create conversion kits that offer players fun and unexpected experiences.
With familiar weapons, part of this goal is to maintain a balance where conversion kits enhance a weapon's capabilities without overshadowing its original role, so sometimes the conversion kits are too good and sometimes they're useless. Based on your feedback in a review of recently released aftermarket parts, we've implemented significant changes for you to experience today.
Looking ahead, we've refined our approach to balancing aftermarket parts to ensure they're powerful, worth the grind, and, most importantly, fun. So initially, on the assault rifles for the Hoger 556, the Jack signal burst increased the gun kick control benefit by 10%, the recoil benefit by 10%, and decreased the burst fire delay a tad bit.
Although the Jack signal burst possesses lethal burst kill potential, its recoil often limits its effectiveness at the most common engagement ranges. Additionally, its burst delay caused difficulty in landing a fall. Landing a follow-up burst to confirm kills Today's update changes those weaknesses, making this aftermarket part a more favorable option, so just a little bit easier to use and a little bit more aggressive there for battle rifles.
On The Sidewinder, the Jack Thunder lmg kit decreased the number of bullets required to reach the maximum fire rate from 25 to 15, so basically you're going to get into that Max Like spammy lmg. Crazy Fire rate was just 10 bullets earlier, so that's nice to see there. The Jack Thunder LMG kit is all about committing to a gunfight and letting the rate of fire accelerate to deadly RPMs.
Today's change gets this weapon to its maximum damage potential significantly faster. Let loose, equip the BFB muzzle or the Brak attachments, and pre-fire to your heart's content for maximum effectiveness. On SMGs, the amr9, so they actually did a decent amount of updates here; they actually decreased the maximum damage range and decreased the near medium damage range, decreased the medium damage range, increased the headshot damage multiplier, decreased the lower torso and lower arm multipliers, and the hand multipliers, increased the upper leg multipliers, the lower leg multipliers, and the foot multipliers as well.
They also increase the rate of fire a decent amount there; that's just something general about it there, so they nerfed its range a little bit, but you're also going to be more rewarded for hitting the lower body. Now, it's actually a decent change there in general, but for multiplayer specifically, on the Jack ET and double barrel kit, they overhauled the firing mechanism to simultaneously fire two bullets per shot, added locational damage multipliers to basically all parts of the body, and they decreased the aim-down sight spread by 75%.
Essentially, there was Bloom on this gun, which made it absolutely awful in general, so that's a decent update there. They also decreased the hip-fire spread penalty by 50%. So upon release in week six, the Jack Ed and double barrel kit did not function as designed. With this update, this conversion kit has been reworked to truly fire two bullets at once; it's no it is no longer a two-round burst, noticeably improving its time to kill.
Additionally, we've significantly reduced the aim-down sight spread and recoil of the kit, allowing for better control and close to mid-range engagements. There's also, you know, different loadout recommendations that they're dropping here for them as well on the Rival 9 Jack Head Hunter carbine conversion kit.
They decrease the maximum damage, the medium damage, and the minimum damage, so it's going to be weaker entirely now that they increase the headshot multiplier, the neck multiplier, and the upper torso multiplier. Decrease the burst fire delay, the Sprint of Fire penalty, the ad penalty, and the hip fire spread penalty, so true to its namesake, the Head Hunter carbine conversion kit is the most lethal when accurately Landing shots to the head and upper torso today's changes increase its lethality and decrease the burst fire delay in order to improve its ability at To duel at a distance, we intend for this aftermarket part to play more like an agile mid-range assault rifle than an SMG, so that's the main intent of those changes.
