Activision released its latest major patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to prepare players for the launch of Season 1. With that update, however, comes a number of changes to the weapons in Black Ops 6 for Season 1.
The updates come to guns in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. They range from bullet damage to various assault rifles to the general range of others.
You can check out the full list of weapons updates below.
