Call of Duty Warzone’s latest update nerfs the popular SP-R 208 again
Plus PC players can now uninstall game modes
The latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone patch again targets the balance of the popular SP-R 208 rifle.
Introduced with Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 6, the SP-R 208 marksman rifle is a free Battle Pass unlock at tier 15.
The weapon has proved incredibly popular with the game’s community – undoubtedly due to its ability to defeat opponents in one shot – which led to developer Infinity Ward significantly reducing the SP-R 208’s power last week.
Warzone and MW’s latest update targets the SP-R 208 rifle yet again, by reducing its minimum damage at range in Warzone.
Prior to its release, Activision said the bolt-action rifle “is notoriously reliable at any range, able to compete with sniper rifles while still being a marksman rifle at its core”. It quickly became a popular choice among players and was widely perceived to have been overpowered.
The October 13 patch also adds the ability for PC players to uninstall specific game modes in order to free up storage space. Players can remove parts of the game via the options menu on Battle.net, Infinity Ward said.
Modern Warfare has regularly received large updates since its release in October 2019, leading to criticism from some players frustrated with the amount of space it occupies on their hard drive.
Today’s patch notes, which are republished in full below, also include various fixes and stability improvements for Warzone.
