Warzone meta could be disrupted by “bit P2W” CoD: Modern Warfare SMG

pcgamesn.com:

The Warzone meta could face some disruption owing to a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare SMG which, combined with a blueprint, possibly makes the Raven Software and Activision battle royale FPS “a bit P2W”.

Blueprints in Warzone essentially provide a shortcut to higher-level guns with more complex attachments, allowing players who purchase them using the game’s CP currency to access weapons with attachments already equipped, rather than having to unlock and affix each attachment separately. CP can be earned either by completing challenges from Warzone’s battle passes, which themselves must be purchased using CP, or by buying the currency directly using real money,

Warzone season 5 allows players to use CP to buy the Tracer Pack: Shadow, which comes with a new player card, emblem, and two weapon blueprints. One of these, the Banisher, adds the commando foregrip and 10mm Auto 30 mags to the stalwart MP5 SMG. Although blueprints are not intended to increase a weapon’s damage or time-to-kill (TTK) stats, it appears that the Banisher MP5 is more powerful than the base gun.

Warzone statistician Symthic shares a video comparing two headshots, one scored with the vanilla MP5, the other with the Banisher. Where the base gun registers 45 damage, the Banisher registers 49, a small but significant increase, especially in the fast-paced and highly competitive world of Warzone.
