Warzone and Black Ops 7 Season 6 is here, and as usual, it shakes with the meta by bringing a host of weapon buffs and nerfs.

Season 6 is set to be the last major update before Modern Warfare 4 arrives in October. As is tradition, the final season brings The Haunting event with horror-themed maps and Operators, but that’s not all. In addition to new weapons, the Season 6 update brings a number of weapon updates.

Here’s every weapon buff and nerf in Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 6.

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.

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.
