COD Vanguard and Warzone Season 2 updates are getting delayed as the developers have publicly notified players that they are working on stability issues. However, Sledgehammer Games has released a new update that is changing the existing weapon balance in the game. The overpowered shotguns in COD Vanguard are finally getting a nerf and this new update will definitely make the already prolonged Season 1 a lot more bearable.
The Double Barrel shotguns were extremely annoying and the community has been asking for a nerf for the longest time. Even though the Season 2 update is going to be delayed, Sledgehammer Games released an update with a nerf to the shotgun, the Fortified perk and some more changes.
