Call of Duty: Warzone's Season 4 Reloaded update has arrived, bringing a hefty nerf to one of the rifles codenamed Assault Rifle Bravo.

The Season 4 Reloaded update for Call of Duty: Warzone has arrived, bringing a bunch of new features, bug fixes, and balance changes to Raven Software's Battle Royale. The patch notes dropped on the official Call of Duty: Warzone site yesterday, revealing all the changes that players can expect.

As with any big multiplayer FPS, a lot of the interest in the update is focused on the balance changes. However, things can be confusing for the uninitiated, as the notes sometimes use codes to refer to certain weapons. Some of these codes, like Assault Rifle Bravo, can even refer to more than one weapon. To clear things up, here's what Assault Rifle Bravo is in Call of Duty: Warzone, and why it matters for Season 4 Reloaded.

The Assault Rifle Bravo code in Call of Duty: Warzone can refer to either the AK-47 in Black Ops Cold War or the FAL in Modern Warfare. In the Season 4 Reloaded patch notes it's referring to the FAL, as noted by the "MW" in brackets next to it.

The FAL isn't the only codenamed assault rifle to have received balance changes in this update. In addition, the Assault Rifle Golf has had its upper torso damage multiplier reduced, and the Charlie has had its maximum damage decreased but its minimum damage increased. These are the FN SCAR 17 and M4A1 respectively, both from Modern Warfare.

The Assault Rifle Bravo, or FAL, has taken a fairly hefty nerf in Call of Duty: Warzone's latest update:

Assault Rifle Bravo (MW)

  • Headshot Multiplier decreased from 2.05 to 1.62.
  • Upper Torso Multiplier decreased from 1.2. to 1.1.

This reduction means that the precise nature of the FAL is less of a factor in its killing ability. Many players who've mastered the FAL treat it like a pseudo-marksman rifle, but won't be able to rely on its stopping power anymore.

These changes are all part of a big swing in Call of Duty: Warzone's Time-to-Kill. The developers revealed in the Season 4 Reloaded patch notes that they're planning to increase the TTK throughout the game. This will lead to longer fire-fights and fewer twitch kills. Most of the balance changes in the new update have focused on reducing damage multipliers for the same reason. Particularly, torso and headshot multipliers have been significantly reduced.

Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
