The latest patch notes for Warzone are live and NZ-41 finally got the buff it desperately needed to make it the number one weapon currently in the game for long-range. Let’s talk about what makes it such a broken gun in the game. For future updates on Warzone follow InsideSport.IN Warzone’s NZ-41 buff, Warzone, Call of Duty, COD, NZ-41, Warzone Patch update
According to the recent patch notes, the developers slightly nerfed the STG. On the other hand, the NZ-41 got a max damage decrease. The updated close-range damage is now 37 which was previously 40. So, there’s clearly a slight nerf to the gun at close range. But, as we all know, the NZ-41 is not meant for close-quarter combat. The gun comes in handy mainly in mid-range. So, the damage range is the main factor at play here. And, the long-range damage got a significant buff and it is now 34 instead of 32.
Not only this, the gun’s recoil has also been adjusted to provide it more stability for better accuracy. Furthermore, the mags for the weapon have received buffs as well with the damage penalty caused by distance being removed. Have a look at the official patch notes below for a clearer idea.

The buffs don’t just stop there. Now, you can beam your enemies in full auto as the gun’s new single-fire mode eliminates the delay between bursts. With some practice, you increase the guns RPM to 580 and adding that with the gun’s increased stability and damage, there’s no doubt NZ-41 is going to be the meta abuser’s favourite for a while.
