Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has broken franchise records left and right since its release on October 29.
While thecampaignhasticked all the boxesfor the first time in years, the game’s multiplayer side is still a little rough, and Treyarch is working to patch theproblemsout.
Besides age-old spawn problems that have carried over from previous Call of Duty titles,the main problem in Black Ops 6 multiplayer lobbies is the lack of weapon variety.
Black Ops 6 Was The Biggest Call Of Duty Release Ever, Says Microsoft CEO
Black Ops 6 has broken all previous franchise sales records across platforms.
From the moment the game was released, assault rifles were performing great. The problem is thatother weaponswere not keeping up, so the only viable way to play was to suck it up and bring an AR to the fight.
To keep other weapon classes competitive,Treyarch took the mighty nerf hammer to the assault rifles, and the Recon Combat Specialty in the process.
Black Ops 6 Version 1.060 Patch Notes
After its addition on Friday,Nuketownis now also available for private matches.
Spawn Improvements
After years of complaints, Treyarch is fine-tuning the spawn logic across different maps.
This is an iterative process based on data analysis from matches, so expect more changes in future patches.
Weapons Balancing
Assault rifles got downtuned across the board on patch 1.060, with other weapons receiving some love in return.
Where rifles previously dealt medium damage, they will now deal inflict maximum, but this value is lower. However, after that range, it reverts to minimum damage.

Meanwhile, submachine guns got their medium damage ranges extended.
Shotguns no longer can kill in a single slug hit, with the round’s maximum damage downgraded from 106 to 92.

Additionally, players will no longer die immediately upon spawning.
Scorestreak Rebalancing
UAV and Counter UAV have higher health pools.The napalm strike has a higher blast radius, while both the LDBR and the strategic bomber have a lower time to impact after call-in.
