Treyarch's latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 focuses on weapon balancing to enhance competitive play. The patch, released on January 13, tones down the Maddox RFB assault rifle and the Velox 5.7 pistol, which have been too dominant in close-range battles. The Maddox now has reduced damage ranges and increased recoil, while the AK-27's Battle-Scar conversion makes it more user-friendly.
New weapons like the Sturmwolf 45 also join the mix with better damage and handling. Other improvements address the Ballistic Knife's melee functionality and enhance overall gameplay across maps and audio. With these changes, do you think the balance is finally right for competitive play?
