Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Update Will Change The 725 Shotgun Again
<p>Following a recent <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-update-107-out-now-her/1100-6471303/">patch</a> that nerfed the gun, Activision is planning another update for <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare/">Call of Duty: Modern Warfare</a> to address one of the military shooter's most controversial weapons. In a tweet, multiplayer co-director Joe Cecot said developer Infinity Ward is planning another change for the 725 shotgun that should address how effective the weapon is at a distance.</p><p>Specifically, the update will "massage out" instances where the 725 is seemingly too effective at range, Cecot said. As you can see in the video below, the 725 is still very, very effective at a distance, which many have remarked makes the shotgun far too powerful.</p><p>The 725 is a break-action shotgun that carries only two rounds. It's also not a standard shotgun. The weapon has a cylindrical choke that keeps the projectile spread tight. This is what makes the 725 effective at long ranges unlike other, more standard shotguns.</p><div data-embed-type="tweet" data-src="https://twitter.com/JoeCecot/status/1193295651066372097"><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-mce-disable-toolbar="true"><p dir="ltr">Another tweak is coming which should massage out the rare very long shot.
