All nerfs and buffs in COD Mobile's weapon stats after Season 12 update
The following discussions are based on the primary changes made in the gunsmith section of the game in the new season:
Nerfs in weapon stats
COD Mobile didn't make a drastic change when decreasing weapon stats, which can effectively alter the gameplay.
The damage ranges of the Echo and the BY15 were reduced to 36 and 40, respectively. The developers also reduced the range and bullet density of the KRM 262 to 39. These decreased alterations are justified and manageable, as all three guns belong to the Shotgun category.
However, the slightly decreased duration of the Concussion Grenade effect, the reduced duration, and increased activation points required for the Shadow Blade and Transform Shield Operator skills, respectively, can have massive repercussions on the gameplay styles of players.
