RPGs proceed to be a menace in Call of Duty: Warzone even after this week’s supposed nerf.
One of the largest adjustments on this week’s Call of Duty: Warzone 1.21 patch has been a nerf to RPGs. The RPG has at all times been deadly in Modern Warfare multiplayer, however that was only a fraction of how completely damaged it was in Warzone.
Put merely, RPGs are simpler than any weapon. Unlike most weapons, you don’t truly have to see your enemy to hit them with an RPG. As it stands, the variety of rockets every participant can carry in Warzone means that you would be able to successfully use RPGs as player-detecting units, firing one off into the window of a constructing the place you watched somebody is perhaps tenting. Their quick hearth charge and reload velocity additionally guarantee you possibly can spam them on the first signal of hassle.
Like the Snakeshot before them, RPGs wanted a large nerf. This week’s patch was presupposed to deliver us that, however this will likely not truly be the case.
TheXclusiveAce, a Call of Duty YouTuber who made a profession out of analysing weapon statistics and testing/exploring areas not correctly coated in-game, determined to check the brand new – supposedly much less highly effective – RPG to see whether or not it’s much less efficient now in Warzone.
According to his findings, the one factor the patch nerfed was the RPG’s harm radius, which has very barely dropped from ten to 9 meters. The most harm on non-direct hits, which is what most RPG hits are, bought a large buff to its harm potential, 150 to a whopping 250. This successfully means you possibly can down a fully-armoured enemy by firing an RPG of their basic route.
Another space that bought buffed has been the minimal harm on non-direct hits, going to 50 up from 30. As TheXclusiveAce notes, launchers appear to have gotten a full rework someday in late April. Because these adjustments have been by no means formally communicated, we could by no means how or precisely when.
If you’ve been following Modern Warfare since launch, you could keep in mind that this isn’t truly the primary time Infinity Ward rolled out a nerf that turned out to be a buff. Shortly after launch, the 725 shotgun – the pain-in-the-ass of that interval – itself bought a nerf that made it simpler.
