All weapon buffs and nerfs in BO6 season 3 Reloaded Multiplayer

Black Ops 6 season three Reloaded introduces a slew of weapon buffs and nerfs aimed at tightening gunplay balance, especially when it comes to time-to-kill in Multiplayer.

If you want to stay on top of the meta, here’s a full rundown of all the weapon changes you need to know.

Weapon buffs and nerfs in BO6 season 3 Reloaded Multiplayer

One of the biggest winners in this patch is the C9 SMG, thanks to a solid buff to its 10mm Auto 30-Round Mags. The damage range has been increased across the board, making it a deadly choice even at mid-range.

The HDR also got some love after sniper players pointed out it felt underpowered in Multiplayer. The CoD devs have boosted both its max damage and minimum damage range, making it much more competitive against the LW3A1 Frostline and other snipers.

On the flip side, the SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion has been toned down. It was hitting way too hard from range, so its damage from maximum range has been nerfed significantly.

Here’s the full list of weapon buffs and nerfs in Black Ops 6 season three Reloaded.
