Summary
- Call of Duty: Warzone nerfed the Renetti's JAK Ferocity Carbine Kit due to widespread complaints from the community.
- The Renetti kit's damage and range have been significantly decreased, making it less overpowered in short-range engagements.
- Warzone users have plenty of other SMG options to try out, including the HRM-9, Striker 9, and the new FJX Horus SMG from Season 3.
Call of Duty: Warzone has significantly nerfed the Renetti's JAK Ferocity Carbine Kit, which has become controversial in recent weeks. Before the nerf, the Call of Duty: Warzone pistol's conversion kit saw it become a powerful SMG better than almost all other meta options.
Following widespread complaints from the Warzone community, Call of Duty recently confirmed that a Renetti nerf would arrive in the near future. While the Renetti itself is a useful handgun, its JAK Ferocity Carbine Kit transforms it into a short-barreled SMG and allows users to equip regular attachments. Following recent nerfs to other popular SMGs and buffs to the Renetti, players quickly realized that a decked-out JAK Ferocity Renetti was an incredibly capable weapon at short range, with many arguing that it was overpowered. Fortunately for those frustrated with the kit, Warzone's development team has responded.
Call of Duty Fans Aren't Happy About the Super Expensive King Kong Glove
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 players are disappointed in a new item that costs more than the game itself, as some worry this could be a new trend.
The Renetti JAK Ferocity Carbine Kit's maximum damage, minimum damage, maximum damage range, lower torso damage multiplier, and arms and hands damage multiplier have all been decreased by varying percentages. The biggest changes are its max damage being decreased from 36 to 28 and its max damage range being decreased from 17.52 meters to 12.44 meters. These adjustments should have a noticeable effect while using the Renetti kit, especially during non-short-range engagements. The Renetti nerf was the only change included in Warzone's April 10 update, highlighting the importance that the game's development team seems to have placed on this issue.
Warzone users in search of a new SMG have plenty of options, with weapons like Call of Duty's HRM-9 and Striker 9 being particularly popular at this time. The recently launched Season 3 also added the FJX Horus SMG, an option that might not be as powerful as the previously mentioned weapons but could still be interesting to try out.
On April 9, Warzone received an additional update that added ground vehicles to Rebirth Island along with various bug fixes and minor improvements. Warzone's next major update will likely arrive with Season 3 Reloaded, which is expected to release sometime in early May. Call of Duty's roadmap confirmed that an update later in Season 3 will see the return of Weapon Trade Stations and the Specialist Perk Package, as well as the new killstreak Foresight.
A recent Call of Duty leak also revealed two weapons possibly coming to Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone in the future, the Kar98k sniper rifle and SPAS-12 shotgun. The two classic weapons might headline a future battle pass, but this is just speculation.
