Black Ops
Black Ops 7 Multiplayer weapon tuning hasn’t landed yet this season. Treyarch has said it’s coming a short time after the Season 06 launch, once the team has seen where the new weapons land in the meta. The only concrete weapon number changes at launch affect two Pack-a-Punched Conversion Kits in Zombies.
Assault Rifles
The only Assault Rifle change this season is a Zombies-exclusive buff to the AK-27’s Battle-Scar Conversion Kit.
AK-27 | Buff | Battle-Scar Conversion Kit: Critical Damage increased 11% (Zombies) |
AK-27 | Buff | Battle-Scar Conversion Kit: weapon recoil reduced (Zombies) |
Shotguns
The Echo 12’s Pack-a-Punched Backlash Launcher Conversion Kit gets nerfed across the board in Zombies, after previous tuning made it too powerful and trivialized boss fights.
Echo 12 | Nerf | Backlash Launcher Conversion Kit: explosion radius reduced (Zombies, Pack-a-Punched) |
Echo 12 | Nerf | Backlash Launcher Conversion Kit: inner explosion radius damage reduced (Zombies, Pack-a-Punched) |
Echo 12 | Nerf | Backlash Launcher Conversion Kit: outer explosion radius damage reduced (Zombies, Pack-a-Punched) |
Echo 12 | Nerf | Backlash Launcher Conversion Kit: clip size 24 > 12 (Zombies, Pack-a-Punched) |
Echo 12 | Nerf | Backlash Launcher Conversion Kit: stock ammo 96 > 48 (Zombies, Pack-a-Punched) |
Echo 12 | Nerf | Backlash Launcher Conversion Kit: max ammo 120 > 60 (Zombies, Pack-a-Punched) |
