MW2 and Warzone 2's July 24 patch notes are live and it's safe to say this update has had a major impact on the overall meta.

Unlike the July 19 update, this one includes significant weapon balance changes to the X13 Auto, Basilisk, M4, Cronen Squall, and more.

Alterations to the akimbo secondaries in particular were heavily requested from the community after the pistols were completely dominating at close-range.

So, without ado, let's check all the changes introduced in MW2 and Warzone 2's July 24 patch notes.
