You’re forgetting about all the counters/other long range weapon choices we have in Warzone currently that compete with the Kar98!
We have the… the… no wait there’s literally nothing… carry on.

It’s clearly busted with or without these changes. I love using it though 🤣

Wait… why the fuck is it 2-shot everywhere. That’s what’s wrong with it.

wz1 and 3 handles dmg area penetration a bit diff, supposedly it’s easier to get highest dmg area after bullet went through lower dmg areas in wz3 which makes it easier to get higher dmg off. Meanwhile in wz1 we had weapons like ZRG that did 1 shot to the neck when nobody knew neck dmg existed. Kar was one of those guns for a time

They just did it on purpose, just to bring back the Kar98 hype to get you on the game to buy more stuff from their shop… Don’t worry it will be nerf in a week or two and buff an other gun to make it meta and bring the hype elsewhere, that’s what activision does.

the fact this community wanted this broken fucking thing back and bitched for so long for them to put it in WZ2 only to then bitch that its “broke”(like it was during WZ1) is peak COD community.
rose tinted glasses. Kar98 was busted as fuck and ppl definitely complained about it during WZ1s lifetime.

So the old Kar is significantly worse than the new Kar, and the old Kar was also competing against all the later beam ARs in the game over the 3 cod titles.
And even then, the old Kar still felt strong in Warzone 1.
Kind of crazy they are allowing a gun that is so strong to remain unchanged for this long. Surely it isn’t good for the engagement of average and below average players.

It’s also easier to aim/ land shots than it was before as if it wasn’t easy enough

Not the full truth. It’s 2 shot anywhere on the body within the first damage range. After that it can be a 3 shot if you hit legs or stomach

Needs a nerf to limb damage, not a damage nerf. 1 tap to the head should stay, and should also be expanded to almost all sniper rifles. Fire rate is also fine imo, but it needs a range nerf if it’s going to be classified as a marksman rifle. RAA nerf is warranted. That shit is stupid.

I haven’t had a chance to play in the last few weeks and was gutted especially after Kar made it come back, but looking at these comments maybe I haven’t missed out on much 😀 knowing my luck they will nerf it on my first day back and it will take me forever to level it up

Kar should be left alone, Crossbow should be buffed, most snipers and marksman rifles also need a buff.
These guns take some skill to use and are at a disadvantage if you miss your shots.
SMG’s and some AR and LMG’s need a nerf if we are nerfing anything.
