The latest MW2 and Warzone Season 6 patch has already been released and like many of the previous updates, this new one also contains some weapon balance changes. While most are simply minor, insignificant tweaks, some improvements have been made to one of the best weapons in the game, making it even more unstoppable: the SA-B 50.
Now, the SA-B 50 is a powerful marksman rifle that can methodically demolish an enemy team single-handedly when put in the right hands. Naturally, his power and inherent attributes made many within the community believe that he was already good. However, it seems that Infinity Ward thought otherwise, as they have now introduced several improvements to the lethal weapon in question.
Based on the changes made as part of the MW2 and Warzone Season 6 Release Date, the developers have improved the SA-B 50's sprint time and ADS time while reducing its hip extension while moving and increasing its far damage range. This suggests that players will find it easier to move quickly and react to potential attackers, which has often been a problem with most Marksman rifles. Additionally, its improved long-range capabilities also mean that it can now adapt to both an active and passive playstyle.
Of course, this isn't the only significant change included in this patch, as the developers have also made some improvements to Lockwood MK2. Unfortunately, the fan-favorite Tempus Torrent marksman rifle has taken some damage, so you may have to start upgrading your best Tempus Torrent equipment. If you want to know more about the other changes, you can check them out below.
