Available since October 25, players are more immersed than ever in Call of Duty Black Ops 6, and more so since the release of mid-season 1 Reloaded. And recently, the title was entitled to an update which then modified the balancing of weapons.
This update destabilizes the Black Ops 6 meta!
We know it all too well, but weapon balance updates are certainly the most important across the Call of Duty and Warzone games. And on December 10, Batte Royale and Black Ops 6 welcomed an update that drastically changed everything.
We’ve done a complete overhaul of weapon movement to improve the combat experience. Depending on the class and weapon, the discounts applied vary between 30% and 75%. Players will notice improved stability when moving, changing positions, or shooting, especially while aiming. These changes aim to maintain balanced and rewarding gameplay while retaining the unique characteristics of each weapon.

Indeed, the update addressed weapon movements and headshot damage. Thus, since December 10, visual recoil has been reduced on all weapons. Furthermore, there was a reduction in swing during rotations and a reduction in initial recoil, mainly on glasses with high magnification (except for sniper rifles).
– Reduced visual recoil: On all weapons, particularly automatic weapons.
– Reduced swing during rotations: Mainly for high magnification scopes.
– Reduced initial recoil on high magnification scopes: Except for sniper rifles.
– Reduced the default swing of stationary weapons: Except for sniper rifles.
– Further reduced swing while firing: All weapons except sniper rifles.
– Reduced weapon movement (swing and additional swing penalties): When moving or changing posture while aiming.

Finally, changes have also been made to the aiming swing delay. Now the value is 2.2 seconds for all weapons, and swing for sniper rifles has been completely removed. For this reason, headshots should be easier and above all, more effectiveand according to a note from the developers, all these changes “ aim to increase headshot damage for some of the most popular primary weapons, while leaving submachine guns almost unchanged. The main beneficiaries of this update are assault rifles and machine guns ».
It is certain that in the hours to come, the meta of Black Ops 6 but also of Warzone will change drastically, and seemingly nothing, at MGG, we have already noticed the difference by playing with the PP bison then with the XM4 .
A Double XP weekend is here!
Finally, this short weekend is once again an opportunity for Black Ops 6 players to enjoy the game with Double XP! Indeed, since last Friday, Double XP has been everywhere: Double XP overall, Double XP for weapons, Double XP for the Battle Pass and again, twice as many Gobblegums for Zombies mode.
Furthermore, we remind you that Black Ops 6 is free for a few days, so don’t hesitate to jump into it if you still haven’t given in!
