Call of Duty: Warzone’s latest patch fixes the infinite Stim glitch

A new Call of Duty: Warzone update is here with a much-needed fix to a frustrating glitch. The new patch also brings a few balance changes to the game, including more DMR-14 nerfs.

The infinite Stim glitch allowed players to gain infinite use of the tactical equipment Stim, which quickly regenerates health, just by dropping their weapon while cooking a grenade. This simple activation process meant that the glitch was easily repeatable, so anyone who wanted to could use it with no problem. Thankfully, with this fix the glitch should be gone for good now.

The patch also brings another round of nerfs for some of the rifles that have been dominating Warzone for the last several weeks. The biggest target for nerfs was once again the DMR-14, which survived last week’s hits and managed to remain the best gun in the game without much trouble. In this patch, Raven took a heavier hand with the gun, greatly reducing its damage over longer ranges and making its recoil even more unforgiving.

The patch also nerfs the Type 63, which received a few adjustments last week as well. The Type 63 is basically the DMR-14’s younger brother, so it got reductions to its damage at range as well, just to make sure that it couldn’t easily replace the other rifle in the meta.

For a full look at the changes that arrived with this latest patch, you can check out the full patch notes, which were originally posted by Raven Software in a Twitlonger post.
