Warzone 2 Season 2 was only recently released, and fans are already huge fans! It arrived with an enormous patch filled with brand-new content along with tons of buffs as well as nerfs for 20 weapons in the fan-favourite battle royale.

Along with the buffs and nerfs, Warzone 2 Season 2 also introduced three new weapons with the KV Broadside, ISO Hemlock, and Dual Kodachi. In this article, we will discuss the RPK and Fennec, which were also a victim of those weapon buffs and nerfs.

RPK And Fennec Included In Weapon Buffs And Nerfs

The majority of the players would be glad to know that both the RPK LMG and the Fennec 45 SMG have, at last, been nerfed as a part of 20 different weapons that received a couple of modifications.

The RPK experienced a reduction in movement speed when in ADS, its mid and long-range damage was reduced, damage ranges were shortened, and there was an increase in the time it takes to ADS.

On the other hand, the Fennec saw an overall nerf in the damage, including headshots, along with getting minimum damage against armor added. These changes should be more than enough for players, as they help to shake up the meta, which was previously centred on these weapons.
