sometimes a gun is too good in Call of Duty what is up everybody chaos here today we're going to
be bringing up the age-old question that we've asked many many times what were the biggest gun
Nerfs in COD history now for this list we're gonna be looking at guns that require the developers to
step in and tone a gun down for the sake of game balance just to be clear we will not be looking
at guns that were bugged and then had to be fixed so you won't be seeing the Modern Warfare 2 Kimbo
models on here or the war zone as Val because those guns clearly were never supposed to launch
in the manner that they did this is going to be a list of guns that were broken by Design and they
had to be changed in order to save the game that they were in so let me know which of these hurt
you the most drop a like and guys make sure you subscribed make sure you have those notifications
fully turned on at number 10. the Titan in Black Ops 4. it was one of the most controversial guns
in the game because the power and the versatility of the gun despite being an lmg the handling was
actually pretty quick it was more on the AR side it carried an insane three-shot kill range with it
assuming you're using the right attachments and it was called overpowered by most I mean most
people who play Black Ops 4 during the first few months would state that Treyarch really took their
time to Nerf it but they did eventually they hit it with a couple Nerfs that dramatically
toned down the damage and handling which put it more in line with the rest of the lmgs yes the
Titan is still a solid weapon in Black Ops 4. but when the game initially came out there was really
no reason to use it I mean the Titan was fast it was versatile it killed quicker at close and long
range than almost anything else at your disposal and uh it I mean there was just I said there was
no reason to use it there was no reason to use anything else I'm sorry I got them mixed up today
it feels more like a standard light machine gun but the OG version it's a good way to kick off
today's list at number nine I love this gun the striker in Modern Warfare 3. we hear a lot about
spam shotguns in Call of Duty we hear a lot about it on my channel and today I mean we're going to
talk about one that maybe people forgot about it was leagues better than its Modern Warfare 2
counterpart partially because it was completely overpowered it released I can confidently say
that when MW3 came out the striker could one shot people from absurd distances since it was
a semi-auto shoddy with 12 shells in the chamber before you put extended mags on it you can see the
issues each pellet of the striker could deal up to 25 damage and since there were nine pellets in
each shell this meant you could theoretically deal over 200 damage with each pull of the trigger now
this was an obvious balancing issue So eventually a patch it was pushed out and it was nerfed the
number of pellets in each shell was dropped from nine to six effectively reducing the damage by 33
percent for talking raw stats this is one of the biggest shotgun Nerfs in COD history but
nobody seems to talk about it I mean I know it was a long time ago maybe it's because the Nerf
happens so quickly but the strike Nerf I mean it was a big deal back in the day and I'm willing to
bet some of you remember just how in saying this was in the first couple weeks of Modern Warfare 3.
at number eight today the Cold War OG in war zone when the Cold War weapons were first added
to Warzone there was a there was there was some problems honestly don't know if some of the guns
were tested because about 90 of the Cold War guns they were useless in war zone but the remaining
10 percent they were completely busted one of the most popular picks was the AUG which was a
three-round burst tactical rifle Now The Recoil was bouncing the fire rate wasn't amazing but
there was attachments you could put together to offset these issues once you fully kitted
your OG out you probably realized how broken it was it could delete fully armored enemies almost
immediately from any distance it felt like and since you could actually speed up the fire rate
with certain attachments the DPS it was it was otherworldly eventually the OG was nerfed into
the ground and I don't even know when the last time I saw it online was that's how effectively
this gun was hit into the dirt there was a point where it was one of the most popular guns in the
game and today it's probably one of the least used guns in all of Warzone at number seven
the fg42 and cod World War II oh how the mighty fell now you may not believe this but there was
a time when the FG was a top five gun in COD World War II now it's probably not even in the
top 20. it was absolutely gutted From the Inside by Sledgehammer a few months after release and
to this day I'm not sure why they went so hard unlike the real world counterpart the Cod World
War II fg42 is a slow firing but hard-hitting rifle with low recoil the DPS was decent compared
to other full auto weapons but the accuracy was good the sound effects were pretty beefy during
the first couple professional events the fg-42 was easily one of the most used guns around
and sledge apparently wasn't a fan of that so in December of 2017 they hit it with a massive Nerf
they dropped the fire rate roughly 15 percent they severely hurt the time to kill and about
three weeks later they reverse course and buffed it again although it would never returned to
its original Glory that initial fg42 Nerf was so extreme that it killed the gun's reputation even
after it was buffed again nobody bothered it went from the top five to the top bottom overnight and
to this day I don't really know why Sledge hit it so hard I mean if you have to rebuff a gun
just three weeks after nerfing it that's probably a sign you went too far at number six the msbs and
COD ghost in a recent video I said that this gun was one of the best burst weapons in COD history
but I was talking about the original version if you were playing ghost during the launch period
I'm talking the first three days you remember the problems this thing caused maybe it was the first
week people were calling it The Cod 4 M16 all over again and they were right on launch day it fired
its burst at 900 rounds per minute could kill in two shots I mean you could one burst from across
the map plus with all the perks and attachments at your disposal in ghost you could fine tune it and
break the game even more IW quickly hit this one hard maybe it was a few weeks I don't know after
the Nerfs though the msbs hovered around mid-tier but it it was a huge drop from its original form
the Fall From Grace was big the launch msbs was one of the best weapons it were weapons in COD
history nobody who experienced it I mean you're not gonna argue at number five the akimbo diamadis
in Warzone diamati's just rolls off the tongue now they have caused so many issues in that game since
they were added Late 2020. Three round pistol when it was added to the Battle Royale and the Cold War
update went live didn't take people any time to realize there was a problem despite being a pistol
it could be loaded with 30 round magazines it had a very generous bass damage by dual wielding the
diamatis with a 30 round mag in laser sights you could almost immediately delete people regardless
of the armor they were wearing plus since they were pistols don't worry about slow movement there
was a point in warzone's history where absolutely everybody was running a Kimbo diamatis because
they were they were beating out shotguns they were beating out SMGs I'm not kidding if you weren't
playing Warzone during the initial Cold War update consider yourself lucky it was a hot mess
now number four the cr-56 Amax and Warzone now I admittedly don't play Warzone as much as I used
to but the community has been heated about this change and I'm going to Echo the popular opinion
the cr56 has always been one of the most popular Modern Warfare rifles in the game
it's comfortably sat at the top of many people's tier lists for almost two years now the AmEx has
been nerfed a few times but it still remains a high tier assault rifle in May of 2022 Raven
software made the baffling decision to gut the gun made it arguably one of the worst rifles of
the game at the time of season three's reloaded update the cr-56 had a base damage rate of 31-35
that's standard for a full auto rifle however this update dropped the damage all the way from that to
24 to 31 made it dramatically weaker than before and effectively meaning it was impossible for the
gun to keep up with the west of rest of warzone's Arsenal that would I mean if you want more the
community was even more Furious about it when it was revealed that the Amax had a competitive pick
rate of less than one percent while the sdg-44 which was completely Untouched by the update had
a pick rate of over 16 percent Raven software really went out of their way to bury the Amax
for no reason to this day it's one of the biggest Nerfs in Warzone history three very few weapons of
Warzone have ever been hit with this heart of a Nerf and I don't know what the devs I don't know
what the reasoning was at number three the PDW 57 Black Ops 2 if you've been playing Black Ops 2
through plutonium which you should be you probably remembered how bad it was an SMG featuring a huge
Magazine 50 I think at start but extremely bouncy recoil and peashooters damage stats but what if I
told you that when Black Ops 2 came out this was a top three weapon the OG version of the PDW was
laser accurate the damage wasn't great but it was good enough and the huge magazine and the
fire rate made up for it the launch PDW reminded me a lot of the Modern Warfare 3 MP7 huge mag no
recoil good enough damage to keep it competitive in every scenario now I agree it probably needed
a Nerf but I also agree that track went too far they dramatically reduced the accuracy that made
it almost impossible to use Beyond close range and I swear they turned the damage down as well
if you boot up Black Ops 2 today it's useless there's literally nothing about the modern PDW
that's worth taking over any other SMG in Black Ops 2. Treyarch butchered this one they did I know
everybody forgot about the Glory Days I did not at number two akimbo snake shots in war zone now
they're still viable in standard Modern Warfare multiplayer but they're borderline useless in
war zone which is amazing to me because I remember when they were the only thing anybody was using it
was an ammo conversion it turned the 357 revolver into a pocket shotgun and when you dual wielded
it somebody Infinity war must have overlooked the power potential because it was off the charts the
akimbo snake shots could delete people and since they were revolvers you could spam 12 shots before
needing to reload there have been a number of ridiculous secondaries throughout warzone's
history but I think the akimbo snake shots were the original I I still think they received the
heaviest Nerf today they're slow they're weak and they have horrible range but back in the day you
could beat somebody out before they could even process that you were shooting at them and at
number one today the biggest Nerf in COD history it has to be the DMR 14 in war zone it has to be
fall as uh steepest Fall From Grace I mentioned throughout the video some of the Cold War weapons
were busted when they were added to Warzone not because of any bugs or glitches just because the
way they dealt too much damage they were easy to use the DMR 14 perhaps the biggest example
of this because it made almost every gun in the game obsolete I'm dead serious when I say the DMR
was the best gun in the game and there was Zero reason not to use it semi-auto rifle you could
kitted out for no recoil you could get it out for high fire rate I mean crazy ballistics killing two
to three shots it's crazy the base damage of it was ridiculous and by adding a few attachments
you could break the game it's since been nerfed into the dirt actually it's been nerfed into the
Earth's core it really has it's one of the worst guns in the game right now because of how good
the automatics are when's the last time you saw anybody use the DMR 14 in war zone because I'm
gonna guess you haven't since before Vanguard actually came out there you have it my friends
those are the biggest nerf in COD history let me know where you agree let me know where you
disagree I'm just now thinking we didn't put the DSR on here but it is what it is I'll see you soon
