Fennec and RPK brought down a peg in Warzone 2 Season 2
Most fans will be happy to hear that both the RPK LMG and Fennec 45 SMG have finally been nerfed as part of 20 different weapons that saw adjustments.
The RPK saw a reduction in movement speed when in ADS, its mid and long-range damage reduced, shortened damage ranges, and an increase in the time it takes to ADS. The Fennec, on the other hand, saw an overall nerf in the damage, including headshots, plus getting minimum damage against armor added.
These changes should help to shake up the meta which was previously heavily centered on these weapons. If you’re interested in checking out what you can earn via the Season 2 battle pass, then you want to check this out.
