Bloom being removed from Warzone
The December 10 update patch notes were highlighted as Raven informed players that they have heavily reduced the effects of bloom on all Vanguard weapons. They also said that they are working toward removing it permanently, but that will take some time.
Bloom is a mechanic that adds a random element into the spread of your bullets when firing them from a weapon. Some have argued that this removes the skill gap as there is no easy way tocontrol recoilon weapons.
Vanguard SMGs and attachment changes in Warzone
A total of five Vanguard submachine guns were hit with changes in this patch, three of them receiving nerfs. The M1912, PPSh-41, and Sten all saw its damage get reduced while the Owen Gun and Type 100 got damage buffs.

With this update, we have drastically reduced the amount of ‘Bloom’ on all base Vanguard Weapons. In the future, we will be removing Bloom from Vanguard Weapons entirely. This process will take time, as we will need to determine adequate downsides to counterbalance the removal of Bloom, which will vary based on each individual Weapon and the type of Attachment they are attributed to.
In addition, we are in the process of assessing Weapon ADS Speeds across Warzone. Stay tuned for more information.
