Warzone May 15 update patch notes: Tonfa and Riveter Shotgun nerfs, more
A small update has hit Warzone that nerfs the Tonfa, which has been a headache to players, and the Riveter shotgun.
May 14’s Warzone patchwas relatively small and addressed bugs with the JAK Warden Kit, Prestige camos, and more. Players have hoped for even more changes,especially with the Tonfaas the melee weapon has been causing players trouble in lobbies everywhere.
However, a surprise fix was deployed on May 15, with adjustments to the Tonfa and the Riveter shotgun.
Warzone May 15 patch notes
While many applauded the small Tonfa nerf, some players shared frustration over the increased damage requirement as it doesn’t address the primary problem: the Tonfa’s range and speed.
The Tonfa has an increased melee range similar to the Kali Sticks and high melee speed, which means players can send each other to the Gulag in seconds using the weapon. Pair that time to kill speed with the never-ending frustration of players equipped with Riot Shields, and it’s nearly impossible to counter in close range.
Players weren’t afraid of sharing their frustration at the developers for disregarding the Tonfa’s ranged benefits.
“Bro they can hit me from 10 Meters away the lunge is the problem,”one player repliedto the CoD Updates Twitter/X account.
Another replycalled for the weapon to be removed from Warzone.
With Season 3 wrapping up, major loot pool changes will likely not arrive untilSeason 4. However, the developers have been actively making changes week by week, so it may not be completely off the table.
