Season 4 brings significant changes to Warzone and Modern Warfare 3, shaking up the weapon meta considerably. Among the most notable adjustments are changes to the BP50, Striker 9, and DG-58 LSW. The BP50 has had its movement speeds reduced across the board, while the Striker 9's damage ranges and headshot multiplier have been nerfed.

Additionally, the SVA 545 has been nerfed with reductions in its mid-damage range and headshot multiplier.

On the buff side, the BAL-27, MCW, and FJX Horus have received noteworthy enhancements. The Horus, in particular, has seen substantial improvements, likely propelling it into the meta.

It's important to note that some changes apply exclusively to Multiplayer, while others are specific to Warzone, such as the comprehensive SMG adjustments. Keep this in mind when updating your loadouts.
