The Call of Duty devs often address Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 issues with updates in between seasonal updates, and one arrived on March 31.

The March 31 update for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 provides several bug fixes and nerfs an attachment tuning trick.

MW2 & Warzone 2 attachment tuning trick nerfed

Following the Season 2 Reloaded update players on Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 noticed that attachment tuning received a buff. Certain attachments could be tuned to increase a specific attribute with little to no downsides in return.

In his latest video, Call of Duty YouTuber TheXclusiveAce showcased how tuning could be used to boost the sprint-to-fire speed of weapons in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 without major decreases in recoil control and accuracy.

Unfortunately, the devs acted swiftly to nerf the attachment tuning trick that allowed for greater than intended sprint-to-fire speeds.
