MW2 and Warzone Season 6 latest patch makes the best gun in the game even more unstoppable

The latest MW2 and Warzone Season 6 patch has now been released, and, much like many of the previous updates, this new one similarly contains a handful of weapon balance changes. Though most are merely slight, disregardable tweaks, a few improvements have been made to one of the game’s best guns, making it even more unstoppable: the SA-B 50.

Now, the SA-B 50 is a powerful Marksman Rifle that can single-handedly demolish an enemy team methodically when put in the right hands. Naturally, its inherent power and attributes made many within the community believe it was already good. However, it appears Infinity Ward thought the opposite, as they have now introduced several enhancements to the lethal weapon in question.

Based on the changes made as part of the MW2 and Warzone Season 6 release date, the developers have improved the SA-B 50’s sprint out time and ADS time while reducing its moving hip spread and increasing its far damage range. This suggests players will have an easier time moving around quickly and reacting to would-be attackers, which has often been an issue with most Marksman Rifles. In addition, its enhanced long-range capabilities also mean that it can now cater to both an active and passive play style.

Of course, this isn’t the only significant change included with this patch, as the developers have also made a handful of buffs to the Lockwood MK2. Unfortunately, the fan-favorite Tempus Torrent marksman rifle has received some damage nerfs, so you may have to start updating your best Tempus Torrent loadout.
