As detailed in the official patch notes , a number of weapons from 2022's Modern Warfare 2 have been buffed in the latest Modern Warfare 3 update. The M13C assault rifle, for example, has had its maximum damage increased from 31 to 32, meaning it is now capable of a 4-shot kill if at least one bullet is a headshot, Sledgehammer says. A plethora of shotguns have also seen substantial buffs, including the KV Broadside, Lockwood 300, Expedite 12, Bryson 800, and the Bryson 890. All of the aforementioned shotguns have had their damage range increased, but the specifics, such as maximum damage range and near-medium damage range, vary between each wea

Although this isn't the first time that Modern Warfare 2 weapons have received a buff in Modern Warfare 3 , the October 1 update does look to be one of the most substantial adjustments for a long time. Earlier this year, Warzone decreased the obstructive VFX on Modern Warfare 2 weapons to make them more in line with Modern Warfare 3 weapons, but now many shotguns, handguns, and more are perfectly viable options in the 2023 shooter thanks to the latest rounds of buffs.

While the majority of the patch appears to be centered around buffing some classic Modern Warfare 2 weapons, the update does also nerf Modern Warfare 3 's DTIR 30-06 battle rifle . Added as part of the Season 6 Battle Pass, the DTIR 30-06 quickly became the new meta weapon in both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 . Sadly, the popular battle rifle has received a substantial nerf in both games, reducing the weapon's torso damage multiplier from 1.3x to 1x in Modern Warfare 3 and increasing the gun's recoil kick to 32deg/s from 27.5deg/s in Warzone . A number of changes were also made to multiple weapon attachments for the DTIR 30-06 in the weapon's Warzone vers
