Patch Notes for BO6 Season 4 Reloaded (July 1)

Adjustments to Weapons

The Black Ops 6 Season Four Reloaded emphasizes fine-tuning attachment balance. Treyarch aims to give each attachment a significant role across the diverse loadouts in Black Ops 6. To fulfill this, the developers are implementing widespread buffs to lesser-used attachments, along with specific adjustments that encourage exploring new build combinations.

Noteworthy attachments receiving buffs include the Short Barrel, Lightweight Foregrip, Precision Foregrip, Fast Motion Laser, Target Laser, and Combat Stock. A prime example is the improved Target Laser for the C9, which has been significantly enhanced for better performance.

Enhancements have also been made to player collision mechanics, rectifying issues where players might become stuck, particularly when interacting with teammates who are prone.
