All Weapon Buffs & Nerfs in Warzone Season 4

As is the case with every major update, Warzone Season 4 shakes up the battle royale’s meta in a significant way.

Warzone Season 4 introduces The Overlook as a new POI. The gigantic skyscraper resides in downtown, and provides you with a new playground to explore and dominate. Two massive cranes on either side of the building overlook the entire map of Verdansk.

In addition, Clash returns as a limited-time game mode and features 52v52 TDM matches in segmented areas of Verdansk. Two teams compete to earn points within a 15-minute time window. For all of the competitive fans out there, Ranked Play introduced new rewards and restrictions. Warzone Season 4 also makes weapon balancing adjustments, so let’s take a look at what’s changing.
