All buffs & nerfs in Warzone & Black Ops 6 Season 5 Reloaded

Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded brings plenty of major weapons buffs and nerfs, shaking up the meta across both games.

The Season 5 Reloaded update has arrived, and it’s yet another big content drop for both games. Not only does it add new maps and modes, it also comes with the Nuketown Block Party event and a powerful new attachment for the PPSh-41.

On top of all that, as always, it also includes substantial weapon balancing changes that are looking to keep the meta feeling fresh. So, here are all of the buffs and nerfs in the mid-season update.

Black Ops 6

Assault Rifles

AK47

The AK-74 is meant to fit a high damage, slower handling and mobility role in the AR class. Over the course of the Black Ops 6 seasons, this position has become less unique, and we’ve seen the weapon fall to the lower end of ARs in our data. We are giving the AK-74 a new, more powerful Max Damage Range up close. Our goal is to set it apart from the other ARs with similar damage profiles and emphasize the original design intent of this weapon.

DAMAGE RANGE	PRE-PATCH	POST-PATCH
Maximum Damage Range	Damage: 27, Range: 0 – 40.6m	Damage: 29, Range: 0 – 11.4m
Medium Damage Range	None	Damage: 27, Range: 11.5 – 40.6m
Minimum Damage Range	Damage: 22, Range: >40.6m	Damage: 22, Range: >40.6m
