Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's latest update introduces two major weapon changes that significantly impact gameplay across all weapons.
The first change increases headshot effectiveness for full-auto primary weapons. Most weapons now require one fewer headshot to achieve a kill at any range, making gunfights more rewarding for accurate players. SMGs are getting increased range to maintain their close-quarters advantage.

The second major change improves overall weapon handling through:
- Reduced visual recoil
- Decreased turn sway
- Lower gun kick on high magnification scopes
- Reduced idle sway
- Improved weapon motion while moving, turning, and changing stances
These changes apply to both Black Ops 6 and Warzone, particularly benefiting players who utilize advanced movement techniques.
Treyarch states these updates aim to balance player expectations for headshot rewards while maintaining weapon variety and unique characteristics. The developer will monitor the evolving meta to ensure weapon balance remains competitive.
