Warzone Private Match Weapon Stats
Having the ability to practise using the same settings being used for competitive play is hugely important when competing for huge amounts of prize money. Warzone players need to be quick to find which weapons are considered the meta alongside mastering any new mechanics that could give them the upper hand. The news of different weapon stats in private matches comes from Call of Duty stats expert @TrueGameData, who is "100%" sure of the differences.
