Activision also tweaked the No Stock Mod for an even better ADS movement speed boost, while the Lopper LX-D Stock introduced a small movement speed penalty.
Other weapon changes
While it’s difficult to predict the meta, these changes are likely to shift the assault rifle meta away from the BP50 and JAK Revenger Kit.
Players may gravitate towards other ARs, like the MCW andBAL-27, or adapt their playstyles with these weapons.
By contrast, the buffed SMGs could see a rise in popularity, potentially creating a faster-paced gameplay experience.
