Modern Warfare 3 August 6 update patch notes: STG44 buff, RPK Conversion nerf, more

The developers have come out with a small update for Warzone and MW3 that will tamp down the RPK Conversion kit and provide a few quality-of-life buffs.

The August 6 update will nerf the RPK JAK Cataclysm Conversion Kit through the ammo available in each Munitions Box, bringing it down by a whopping 75%.

The notes also detail a dozen minor bug fixes between the IU, the map G3T_H1GH, COD Warrior mode, and various weapons.

Players should only feel this update if they have been abusing the RPK or the exploit that allowed them to carry more weapons than allowed on Zombies.

This is the second supplementary patch MW3 has received since the massive Season 5 patch on July 24, which introduced a host of new content and weapon balance changes.
