Modern Warfare 2: Regular updates to Modern Warfare 2 fix issues and balance weapons, among other things. They frequently downgrade overused items and buff unpopular ones because they don’t want any weapon to be too strong for too long. Modern Warfare 2
Although updates happen pretty frequently, the downloads are typically not very large. The bi-monthly seasonal updates, however, are a little bit bigger and include new content.
Not Warzone, but Modern Warfare 2′s multiplayer patch notes are shown on this page. None of these adjustments may be made in Warzone because the mainline Call of Duty game is always balanced independently of Battle Royale.

We advise using the X13 as your secondary weapon along with a drill charge and a flash grenade in a mid-range loadout like this. We advise the Portable UAV for field upgrades, and we choose Bomb Squad, Battle Hardened, Hardline, and Ghost for perks.
These were the patch notes and the loadouts we suggested following the patch. Next week, we’ll be back with more.
