Modern Warfare fans want a 725 nerf

4.2
Modern Warfare is upon us, and players are mostly united: the 725 shotgun needs a nerf. It’s coming to dominate multiplayer, and it’s got range far beyond what you’d expect from a videogame shotgun. There’ve been a handful of early patches for the game, but no balance changes for the Modern Warfare weapons just yet.

The 725 is effective at some pretty ridiculous ranges, at times outperforming SMGs and rifles in similar circumstances. The Modern Warfare subreddit is filled with comments on the gun, and one clip in particular demonstrates just how devastating it can be – and in that example in particular, it seems that the gun’s loaded with standard buckshot.

Naturally, slug rounds can give you one-hit kills at just about any range, but they require you to be far more precise. One clip on Twitter in particular shows off what happens when you combine slug rounds with a scope – the results are sniper-like kills at extreme range. (Just with a couple of dozen extra feet worth of drop-off.)

Federation This gun is annoying for sure it still needs another nerf cause they didn't do shit tbh it's the same I was playing just now and the range is still the same I don't see a difference


I've noticed less people using it which is great but it's def still way too strong

I don't know what is worse, the 725 Shotgun from MW or the Models double shotgun from Modern Warfare 2 during the first two weeks LMFAOOO.

It's better long range than short range, hope it's fixed.

Just saw a few clips of people running around with this thing and just demolishing. I don't think I've seen a mode overpowered shotgun in cod. Pre patch dual models might not even stand a chance...

L0pht It doesn't need a nerf it's just over used because every mainstream YouTuber is raving about it so you will get casual players copy the class setup and now it becomes the meta


LOLOLOL no
it needs a nerf


I think other things need fixing before the gun nerfs start kicking in lmao


Well yeah. Like all the xbox one x crashing and having to constantly reboot the game to get a party of 5 fully functional.
After then, the 725 and m4 certainly need a nerf
