MW3 & Warzone July 30 update patch notes – Superi 46 nerf, COR 45 buff & Quartermaster Ranked Play ban

As a long-time Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone player, I’ve seen my fair share of meta-shifting weapon updates. However, this latest patch really hits home for me as a frequent user of the Superi 46.

On July 30th, a fresh update rolled out for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, introducing various tweaks to weapons – both boosts (buffs) and reductions (nerfs). The Superi 46, already affected by the Season 5 update, received an extra nerf that may significantly alter its influence in the game’s meta.

1. Alongside updating the advancement tasks for MW3’s Interstellar mode to streamline the process, they added a limitation on the Quartermaster Suppressor within MW3’s Ranked Matches as well.

Take a look at the full patch notes below.
