CoD: Warzone July 28 Patch Notes Include Huge Sniper Buffs And Bug Fixes
Call of Duty: Warzone received a major weapon balancing pass and content update on July 27 with the start of Season 4 Reloaded, but now the developer has released a new update on July 28 to bring a buff to the sniper class, and there are a few bug fixes included in the patch notes as well.
According to Raven Software's patch notes, all sniper rifles received a buff to their maximum damage range with around a 35% added bonus. The developer says this change will allow the lighter rifles with a damage range build to now more reliably cover the typical sight lines found on the smaller maps of Rebirth Island and Fortune's Keep.

This change should make once-popular snipers like Black Ops Cold War's Swiss K31 viable again, as the maximum damage range increased from 42 to 57 meters. The change should also feel significant for Vanguard's Kar98k sniper rifle, which received a maximum damage range increased from 48 to a whopping 72 meters.
While snipers received a buff, Warzone's Serpentine perk got nerfed. The perk's ability to reduce damage while sprinting is now decreased from 20 to 15%.
The patch notes also include a few bug fixes. This should correct a bug on Fortune's Keep that previously caused the gas to be more difficult to see than intended. The developer also fixed issues that allowed players to exploit Warzone's Weapon Trade Stations and Deployable Buy Stations.
