Blizzard has released the patch notes for Hearthstone‘s upcoming 18.0.2 update, and they include some major changes to some of the most notable cards in Hearthstone‘s Constructed and Battlegrounds modes.

Call of Duty Warzone Patch Notes Include Bruen Nerf

The latest Call of Duty Warzone patch notes have arrived, and they feature some long-awaited changes to the battle royale’s LMG weapons. The biggest change in this recent update may just be a reduction to the Bruen MK9’s effective damage range. The Bruen has become something of an all-purpose solution for Warzone players who have been taking advantage (some would say “exploiting”) this gun’s accuracy and high rate of fire. With this change, the Bruen will likely be a far less effective solution at longer ranges. LMG fans who will suddenly find themselves unable to rely on the Bruen quite…

That is to say that Grounded will remove many of the game’s HUD elements and reduce the effectiveness of the game’s “listen” ability. On top of that, you’ll have to deal with some of the other resource limitations and increased damage…

Let’s start with Ghost of Tsushima‘s new “Lethal” difficulty level. As you might imagine based on the name, this difficulty level will make the game’s enemies much deadlier.

Here’s the really interesting…

While Riot notes that they feel Valorant “is looking fairly stable thus far” after the game’s latest patch, they do highlight the Guardian rifle as one of the biggest issues they feel need to be addressed sooner rather than later. Basically, the team feels that the Guardian wasn’t being treated as the economic, long-range, precision-based option they wanted it to be. To help address the Guardian’s identity issues, Riot will reduce the weapon’s rate of fire to…
