[Lot of adjustments to weapons -too much to copy/paste- so please read the notes.]

Weapons
Weapon Tuning
Season 01 changes are here, and they include adjustments to the Akita, sniper rifles, Marksman Rifles, SMG attachments, and more.
We continue to see a ton of class variety in our top performing weapons, and we will be focused on carrying that variety throughout Black Ops 7’s seasons.
We are also still monitoring the usage rates on Assault Rifles, especially when compared to SMGs.
Our data shows that while usage leans in the favour of ARs, SMGs are performing better in several other metrics that control for usage.
As such, we are still taking a measured approach to SMG buffs but will be keeping a close eye to make sure the meta continues to evolve and enable more SMG play.
Thank you for your ongoing feedback on weapons.
