Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Gets Crucial Nerf Before Open Beta
Key Changes Ahead of Black Ops 6 Open Beta
The excitement for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is palpable as Treyarch prepares to launch its fully open beta weekend. Players have experienced a thrilling beta, but one gun, the Jackal PDW, dominated gameplay to an overwhelming extent. In response, Treyarch has implemented an early nerf to restore balance, adjusting its performance before the beta's next phase.
The Impact of the Jackal PDW
This SMG emerged as a powerhouse due to its high damage, agility, and large magazine, turning it into a favorite among players. While the Jackal PDW has been a standout for many, it has also raised concerns with its overuse leading to a less varied gameplay experience. In a post on X, Treyarch announced the nerf alongside new features for the beta.
What to Expect in the Upcoming Open Beta
- The Jackal PDW nerf is just the beginning, with detailed patch notes forthcoming.
- A new SMG, the Tanto .22, unlockable at level 30, will be introduced to diversify weapon choices.
- Players can look forward to additional weapons like the DM-10 Semi-Auto Marksman Rifle and exciting new scorestreaks.
This phase of the beta runs from September 6 to September 9, offering a last chance for players to experience Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 before its official launch in October.
