Modern Warfare 2 Weapons Receive Unexpected Buff in New MW3 Update

Key Takeaways

  • New Modern Warfare 3 update buffs a plethora of classic Modern Warfare 2 weapons.
  • Many shotguns, handguns, and marksman rifles have been buffed with increased damage, velocity, and more.
  • Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone’s October 1 update also nerfs the DTIR 30-06, which was the meta weapon in Season 6.



A new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has made some unexpected balance adjustments to classic weapons from 2022’s Modern Warfare 2, with a plethora of shotguns, handguns, marksman rifles, and more receiving substantial buffs. While there are only a few short weeks until the release of Black Ops 6, it looks like developer Sledgehammer Games is attempting to give Modern Warfare 3 a big send-off by bringing some iconic weapons back into the mix.

Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software kicked off the month of October with a brand-new update for both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3, bringing a handful of bug fixes and balance adjustments to the popular first-person shooters. While the latest Warzone update did see the Crossbow from Modern Warfare 2 receive an impressive buff, with an increase in bolt velocity and a decrease in gravity influence, it was Modern Warfare 3 that saw a huge number of weapons once again become viable options within the game’s multiplayer modes.


As detailed in the official patch notes, a number of weapons from 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 have been buffed in the latest Modern Warfare 3 update. The M13C assault rifle, for example, has had its maximum damage increased from 31 to 32, meaning it is now capable of a 4-shot kill if at least one bullet is a headshot, Sledgehammer says. A plethora of shotguns have also seen substantial buffs, including the KV Broadside, Lockwood 300, Expedite 12, Bryson 800, and the Bryson 890. All of the aforementioned shotguns have had their damage range increased, but the specifics, such as maximum damage range and near-medium damage range, vary between each weapon.


Modern Warfare 2 Weapons Buffed in Latest MW3 Update


While the majority of the patch appears to be centered around buffing some classic Modern Warfare 2 weapons, the update does also nerf Modern Warfare 3‘s DTIR 30-06 battle rifle. Added as part of the Season 6 Battle Pass, the DTIR 30-06 quickly became the new meta weapon in both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3. Sadly, the popular battle rifle has received a substantial nerf in both games, reducing the weapon’s torso damage multiplier from 1.3x to 1x in Modern Warfare 3 and increasing the gun’s recoil kick to 32deg/s from 27.5deg/s. A number of changes were also made to multiple weapon attachments for the DTIR 30-06 in Warzone.


Although this isn’t the first time that Modern Warfare 2 weapons have received a buff in Modern Warfare 3, the October 1 update does look to be one of the most substantial adjustments for a long time. Earlier this year, Warzone decreased the obstructive VFX on Modern Warfare 2 weapons to make them more in line with Modern Warfare 3 weapons, but now many shotguns, handguns, and more are perfectly viable options in the 2023 shooter thanks to the latest rounds of buffs. It’s unclear if this means these updated weapons will become the new Modern Warfare 3 meta, but with Black Ops 6 right around the corner, it could be too late.

How To Farm Golden Apples

Throne and Liberty has a long list of cooking ingredients that allow players to craft the most useful recipes to boost their stats. But, getting some of these materials can be a real pain — especially the Golden Apples.

Throne and Liberty: How To Get Rotein And Fermented Rotein

Rotein and Fermented Rotein are essential cooking ingredients in Throne and Liberty, so here’s how to make sure you’re always stocked up.

Getting these special fruits can be tough for new players, but not to worry; this guide will explore all the ways players can get their hands on this mythological fruit, enabling them to craft some of the most useful recipes in the game.


How To Buy Golden Apples In Throne And Liberty

To buy Golden Apples in Throne and Liberty, players must access the Season Pass tab on their main menu, then access Zenu’s Star Shop inside it. Scroll down, looking for an item named Cooking Ingredient Selection Basket, and purchase it.

These baskets work like the Materials Selection Chests and allow players to select a Tier 2 Cooking Ingredient each. Players can purchase a Maximum of 50 of these Baskets per character, and each one costs 20 Star Crystals a piece. This means that players will need to invest 1000 Star Crystals total to get the maximum amount of these premium items.


After purchasing one (or several) of these, use them and select the Golden Apple from the list of available ingredients. This might not be the most economical way to get Golden Apples, but it is surely the fastest.

Players can
farm Star Crystals
by finishing the Season Pass and accumulating rewards after they claim everything. The daily, weekly, and eternal missions there will keep yielding points, and these points will automatically turn into Star Crystals to spend at Zenu’s Star Shop.

How To Farm Golden Apples In Throne And Liberty

The second option players have is to farm Golden Apple, but the special fruit doesn’t simply drop from monsters. Players need to go to specific areas and wait for rainy climate, or use Command Seals to unleash a downpour on said areas, and farm the Star Fruit Trees that pop up only when it rains.


The following areas are the best places to farm Golden Apples:

  • Akidu Valley
  • Manawastes
  • Ruins of Turayne
  • Shattered Temple
  • Purelight Hill
  • Greyclaw Forest

These places have the highest concentration of high-level Star Trees and also the highest chances to get tier 2 ingredients when farming the nodes that turn into Star Fruit Trees. The fastest way to get as many ingredients as possible is to equip items that increase movement speed, and use Dash Morph to get to the nodes first.

Keep in mind that
nodes are global
and available for all players, so reaching the node first means taking the prize home.

The area with the highest drop turns out to be Greyclaw Forest, especially from those trees around Canina Village. However, the area with the highest concentration of Star Tree nodes is Purelight Hill. Finally, for players who do not have access to command powers or Command Seal, Akidu Valley is the one location with the most rainy weather.


Golden Apple Recipes In Throne And Liberty

Golden Apples can be used to craft one of the three following recipes in Throne and Liberty:

  • Roasted Honey Apple: PvP Hit Chance +90, PvP Critical Hit Chace +90
  • Golden Apple Pie: Mastery Bonus +50%, Abyssal Contract Token Efficiency +10%
  • Daybreak Shore Feast: PvP Evasion +120, PvP Endurance +120

Roasted Honey Apple requires one Golden Apple (or 3 Apple) and Lvl 1 Cooking to be crafted. The Golden Apple Pie is unlocked at Lvl. 10 of Cooking, and requires Honey, Fruice, Salt, Golden Rye, and Golden Apple. In the case of the Daybreak Shore Feast, players will need a Blue Quality Golden Apple Pie (alongside other blue-quality dishes) to craft it. The latter is a level 20 Dish, so players will need to level up their cooking a lot before being able to cook this incredibly useful consumable.

Stardew Valley Player With Over 250 Hours Discovers Helpful Feature A Lot of Fans Overlook

A Stardew Valley player with over 250 hours in the cozy farming game discovers an extremely helpful feature that can be easily overlooked.

Reddit user SplashJaguarCo shared their design with fellow fans on the Stardew Valley subreddit, showcasing a sweatshirt with a custom embroidered design. The artist says it’s their favorite Stardew Valley festival, and they chose to celebrate it with the machine-embroidered design. The design itself is subtle, and might not stand out to anyone who isn’t familiar with the game. However, it’s perfect for those who consider Stardew Valley one of their favorites. It’s not hard to imagine tourists visiting Pelican Town picking up a shirt like this on their way out to commemorate the event and the memories they made.


Stardew Valley Fans React to Charming Sweatshirt

Fans of the series have already begun leaving comments about the shirt, praising the fan for their concept and execution. One expressed curiosity whether the shirt was available for sale. While the seller hasn’t responded to them, a prior post on their account indicates that they sell this as well as a few other custom-made Stardew Valley-themed shirts, including one based on Pierre’s produce store and another with a cheeky joke about passing out in Stardew Valley‘s mines. The artist also sells designs based on Krobus and some of the farm animals of the game.


Stardew Valley has spawned countless artistic works, with fans utilizing everything from 3D modeling and printing to simple pen and paper to pay tribute to the game. With the release date for Stardew Valley 1.6’s update on consoles rapidly approaching, chances are even more fans will be celebrating the title in the near future. At this point, it remains to be seen if Stardew Valley gets any new major content updates past that. However, even if the game stagnates outside of fan-made mods, the overall appeal of the game has lasted for nearly a decade now. It’s safe to say that Stardew Valley will remain a classic for the foreseeable future.
