What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word derf
Is it your favorite nerf weapon or isn't weapons that get nerfed in video games?
well
Kicking off our list today of some of the biggest weapon nerfs ever
In Call of Duty is the MSBs and ghost such a forgotten gun
This thing was one of the most dominant guns in cod history, but it was super short-lived. What is up? Everybody chaos here
Welcome to the cod history series if you get anything from scuff, make sure to use promo code
Chaos link is in the description whether it be merch accessories controllers
Anything you guys let me know you did and sometimes a weapon in Call of Duty is just too good
It's just too good
the MSBs was a hybrid burst and a full auto assault rifle it boasted some of the highest damage output in the entire game and
When used in burst mode, it was crazy
Well, it was actually intimidating in full auto as well upon the release of ghosts
The MSBs was considered by many to be one of the strongest guns in the game and many thought it to be
Overpowered this thing was even banned in competitive play. So about a month after launch. I don't feel it was that long actually?
Infinity Ward dropped a patch that toned down the strength of the MSBs introduced the one burst kill range to it
It had the same powers the cod for him 16 in the sense
It was a three round burst, but he only needed two bullets to connect for a kill which made it
Ridiculous the nerf tone down the range and increased the recoil so you could still melt up close
but you could no longer tag people from across the map and drop them like you could before
Definitely a big nerf and a good way to start today's video
At number 9 the Razorback in black ops 3 those of you who played the black ops 3 beta
You probably remember this thing. Actually, I remember it all the way back in the Alpha and it was it was crazy
It's that interesting kind of interesting history during the black ops 3 beta this SMG was hands-down the best gun in the game
thanks to many reasons the range the fire rate everything the the kill potential just the gun was overpowering but
dude
It being silver used in the beta everybody whose running it
Treyarch nerfed it hard for the full game release and now you hardly ever
See anybody running it even though it's such a good feeling gun
unlocked at level 46 in the full game the Razorback now hits for as low as 19 damage with a
relatively low fire rate of around
625 rounds per minute
That's that that's not slow
But it's slow when it comes to an SMG in Call of Duty
If you go back and watch beta footage or alpha footage of black ops 3 the Razorback was insane but in the full game
It's just another gun and you rarely see it online
anymore
Next up is the Proteus and infinite warfare
Now technically this wasn't so much a nerf as it was a bug-fix
But it's still gonna get a spot on the list today because of how ridiculous the gun was at first and how hard it was
Brought to its knees for those that weren't in the loop
The Proteus was a shotgun sniper hybrid an infinite warfare that was added a little time into the game's lifespan
But when it was first added there was something screwed up with it
It would give perfect
accuracy
when hip firing without losing any of its range this meant
You could go into hardcore mode and just hit fire people from across the map like a pre patch model
1887 in modern warfare 2 and obviously this wasn't intended and it was patched out pretty quickly
but if you were a hardcore player at the time that this gun was added you probably know how annoying it was and how
Warranted this Patchen nerf actually was but makes you wonder how the heck did this gun even get out to the public without
Anybody at Infinity Ward noticing such an obvious problem?
Do they do it on purpose just to get some buzz going or did the playtesters just miss this one too grossly?
At number 7 the FAMAS in black ops now I bet plenty of you
Actually forgot that this gun was nerfed
the FAMAS was hands-down the most used gun in the original black ops game and many consider it to be the best gun in the
Game and a bit overpowered one of the best guns
I would call it possibly a best top-five gun overall, but they used to be even better
The FAMAS is a super fast firing assault rifle that hit for a minimum of 25 damage
It made it a 3 to 4 shot kill at all ranges and it shout it sounded like it was shooting hot
Liquid metal at you, and it made it outclassed assault rifles at mid-range and smg's at close range and on launch day
Well, he didn't really have that much kick
There was recoil that Treyarch obviously saw this is far too good and they nerfed it while after launch
They increased the recoil it made it less predictable
Now obviously this didn't remove it didn't reduce the amount of people spraying and it was still arguably the best gun in the game
but if you played with the UH nerfed FAMAS
It was a freak of nature you you kind of felt dirty using it which was kind of the fun
Next up I bet you forgot about these
Black hats in black ops 3 now. They were a piece of equipment in black ops 2 & 3
That could be used to hijack. Enemy explosives shock charges kill streaks stuff of that nature
And black ops 3 they were pretty effective on launch day
they allowed you to swap control of UAVs and
even some of the larger kill streaks if you had a good line-of-sight and you weren't being interrupted but as the game went on
People just stopped using him since they were always less effective than just shooting the kill streak down and for some reason tray art decided
a little ways into black ops 3 s lifespan that the black hats were too powerful and they needed to be nerfed which effectively
rendered them useless
Whereas they used to be kind of helpful in certain situations now
They're completely pointless and you'll be hard-pressed to find someone ever use them in multiplayer at all
Maybe one of those unused pieces equipment and the entire cautery franchise
I don't know the Willie pits up there to probably I mean too bad in black ops for the black hats were buff like crazy
in the form of zero
Cracking into the top five today the FG 42 in Call of Duty World War two now
I don't really know what sledgehammer games did with the FG 42 during development because this thing is nothing like its real-world
counterpart but historical accuracy aside
The FG 42 had a very start fall from grace during the cod World War two life cycle originally
It was somewhat of a slow firing rifle, but it hit hard it had forgiving range and it had pretty low recoil
In fact, the gun was so good that at the first pro tournament
It was one of the only weapons players were using now this
Obviously got sledgehammers attention and they nerfed it into the ground and then dug down even a little further
They dug straight down people the FG 42 spire rate was dropped
The recoil was increased and the range was made less forgiving effectively turning it to one of the worst automatic guns in the game
Now a lot of people didn't care much for cod World War two
So I can't blame you if this nerf went over your but if you were actively playing the game
You know how much it's affected the competitive meta the fg42 it from one of the most used rifles in the game
But arguably one of the worst guns
Raise your hand if you remember the type 95 in modern warfare 3
I put this gun on a list of forgotten guns a while back and I got a lot of
Comments talking about how I was wrong because this thing was a beast before it was nerfed. That's my point after it was nerfed
Nobody cared about it
Upon release of modern warfare 3 the time 95 was stupid and it rivaled the cod 4 m16 was stopping power
It was a three round burst assault rifle that would hit
455 damage making it possible to have two shot kills
but
Range wasn't too forgiving there shortly into the game's lifespan Infinity Ward
Saw way too many people using it
So they decided to make a small change that really impacted the meta all they did
It was increased the hipfire spread on the time 95 and boom the gun dropped
popularity now due to the original hipfire Streb being really really tight in the close range damage being so high it was
Ridiculously good in any situation as it would melt you in close quarters like an SMG in at long range
It was devastating but by nerfing the hipfire accuracy
Infinity Ward effectively turned the type 95 into a niche weapon, which was their original intention
But a lot of people were upset about the nerves
So you tell me if you were playing modern warfare 3 back in the day. What did you think about this in that moment at?
number 3 the infamous model 1887 s in modern warfare 2 now
We're getting into the big ones upon release the models
They were a great shot gun, but when you put a Kimbo on well, they became sniper rifles
Seriously, they could quite literally snipe people across the map
And since you have the spread of a shotgun, they were way too good now
I'm not actually sure what caused these things to be so strong. Maybe it was something wrong with the damage drop-off
I don't know whatever it was though. The models in modern warfare 2 were too good on launch day and patch 1.07
They were nerfed hard now
It's still a pretty good shotgun and using akimbo still a ton of fun
But it was nowhere near what it was once and it's definitely one of the biggest nerfs in cod hatian
If you don't believe me
if you weren't around back then just go youtube search it and you will see it with your own eyes and
Number two the pdw-57 in black ops 2 which is now the marshmallow shooter if you got into bo2 a little down the line
Sorry, you thought it was a standard middle-of-the-road SMG nice big magazine, but moderate damage in a decent fire rate
But what you didn't know is this thing used to be arguably the best gun in the game
When launch day came it had no recoil made it a laser and it was essentially a pocket LMG
Thanks to the 50 round mag, which you could crank all the way up to 65 with extended mags
People would slay out like crazy with this thing in Treyarch
Well, you know what? They did a few months after the game came out
they issued a patch that dramatically increased the recoil reduced its effectiveness at long range and they also made the hipfire spread wider which
effectively reduced it at close range this nerf brought the PDW down to earth and
Opened the floodgates for the MSMC to be the new favorite gun, and that number one. There was no doubt about it
The dsr-50 in black ops 2 now when bo2 came out the DSR was one of the best guns in the game
Not one of the best sniper rifles one of the best guns. It was a bolt-action sniper
That was almost always a one-shot killing. It had a nice default scope
it had good weapon sway the entire package, but
Treyarch thought it was a little too good and they made people not want to use other snipers
So they drastically reduced the rate of fire from 50 rounds per minute to 40 now
I know 10 rounds per minute doesn't sound like a big nerf, but for a bolt-action sniper
It's big this made the gun extremely slow and forced you to make every shot count
But it also made it too slow to get a quad feed without getting at least one collateral and overall the sniping community
They were pissed david vonderhaar even got death threats over this nerf, which I think is absolutely ridiculous
it was one of the most controversial changes ever made in a cod game and to this day people still debate over whether or not
It was warranted. So you tell me did you play with the original DSR? Do you think it deserved to be?
Nerfed and there you have it my friends. Those are some of the biggest weapon nerfs and caught history. Let me know one
That didn't make the list if you enjoy drop a like there is now a video up on the screen guys
I need you to do me a favor. I need you to click that video and you and me will continue this conversation
On another video. I'll see you soon
