Additionally, the developers did note that they are aware of complaints around the Signal .50. However, they are not nerfing this weapon in Warzone at this time.
Lastly, we are aware of concerns surrounding the Signal 50 in Warzone. While our data does not suggest the Signal 50 is out of the normal range in performance, its experiential impact for Players is equally important to us. At this time we do not feel it is necessary to make changes to the Signal 50, but we will continue to monitor the data and your feedback closely.
