As mentioned, Raven Software has announced it will bring various changes for the XM4 and PPSh-41 early next week. Although the developers haven't revealed what exact changes they're bringing, fans can speculate based on their current status in the game.

The XM4 has long dominated the game's meta, and to balance the weapon, it was nerfed with the Season 2 update. However, despite the nerfs, it reigns supreme in the game and is still considered a meta-tier weapon.

Likewise, the PPSh-41 was supposed to instantly become a hit in the game. It was a popular SMG back in the day and its arrival in the title was highly anticipated. But things didn't go as planned. Although it has a legacy of its own, the weapon has not seen the expected pick rates in the battle royale title.

According to players, the SMG has a few issues that prevent it from gaining the status of a meta-tier weapon yet. One of the concerns that players have raised is the muzzle smoke, which makes seeing the targets difficult, especially with iron sights.

Hence, it's highly likely that we'll see the XM4 getting nerfed and the PPSh-41 getting buffed with the upcoming update. That said, these are merely speculations. Call of Duty hasn't announced what changes it will bring to the table with the next patch.
