All weapon buffs & nerfs in Black Ops 6 Season 4

Treyarch didn’t adjust too many damage values, but did release a long list of massive weapon buffs and nerfs for Black Ops 6 Season 4 that will shake up Multiplayer’s meta.

Black Ops 6 Season 4 highlights include three new weapons— The LC10 SMG, FFAR 1 AR, and Essex Model 07 Marksman Rifle. Based on everything shown and the usual trend, all three weapons will be strong options.

LMGs and Marksman Rifles have underperformed in multiplayer compared to ARs and SMGs. So, in response, the Season 4 update rectifies that discrepancy.
