Swat 5.56

"We are improving the Burst Delay on the SWAT 5.56. When compared with the AEK-973, it should be harder to hit the one-burst kill at range, but much easier to fire off subsequent bursts."

• Rapid Fire
• Burst Delay reduced from 200ms to 170ms.

Tsarkov 7.62

---

AEK-973

"We are very excited to have a full-auto AEK in Black Ops 6. There was an issue causing the headshot damage to be lower than intended. These values have now been corrected."

Adjustments:

• AEK-973 Full Auto Mod
• Base headshot damage multiplier increased from 1.1x to 1.28x.
• Headshot damage multiplier with CHF barrel increased from 1.17x to 1.36x.

---

Sniper rifles adjustment

• Addressed an issue on some Fast Mag attachments that resulted in extra rechamber animations playing at the end of an empty reload.

---

Melee

"We are improving some melee lunge distances, especially for the two-hit kill melee weapons. Our melee tuning philosophy revolves around keeping melee movement speeds the same (to prevent certain melee weapons from being optimal for hitting routes). That means hits-to-kill, attack speed, and lunge distance are our main tools for creating unique feeling melee weapons. We know that more hits-to-kill can be a big disadvantage, so we’ll continue to make sure that attack speed and lunge distance are providing sufficient upside."

Knife

• Lunge distance increased by 4%, up to 1.3m.

Baseball Bat

• Lunge distance increased by 6%, up to 1.8m.

Power Drill

• Lunge distance increased by 47%, up to 1.7m
