Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch confirmed that the powerful Jackal PDW submachine gun has been nerfed for weekend two of the ongoing beta. The team is listening to player feedback from the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta and introducing new content during the second weekend as well, including new weapons and maps.
The Black Ops 6 early access beta went live on August 30 and has received one major update since then. The September 2 playlist update gave players access to the Face Off 6v6 mode and the Pit and Gala 6v6 maps. Face Off offers standard 6v6 game modes like Team Deathmatch and Kill Confirmed, with the catch being that Scorestreaks are disabled. The beta will receive another update on weekend two, marking the beginning of the open beta period.
The official Treyarch Studios Twitter account announced that Black Ops 6’s Jackal PDW SMG has been tuned for weekend two of the beta, implying that the powerful weapon has been nerfed. Treyarch encourages players to “take a break” from the Jackal PDW and try out the new Tanto .22 SMG, which is unlocked by reaching level 30. Patch notes for the beta’s weekend two update will be released on Friday, September 6, so players can expect details about how the Jackal PDW was nerfed. The patch notes will reveal more information about the weapons and maps being added to the beta as well.
Treyarch Confirms Jackal PDW SMG Nerf for Weekend Two of the Black Ops 6 Beta
- Jackal PDW has been “tuned” by Treyarch for the beta’s second weekend.
- Patch notes for the open beta will be released on September 6.
Despite the weapon’s incoming nerfs, it appears that Black Ops 6 fans on Twitter are mostly receptive to the changes that will be made to the Jackal PDW. Some players share their experiences of being gunned down by just four bullets from the Jackal PDW, while others are excited to try out the Tanto .22 for the first time. Since the Black Ops 6 beta will be open to all players on September 6, the community is also hopeful that there will be a greater variety of loadouts that will be used in multiplayer as well, thanks to new weapons and the SMG’s nerf.
Alongside the new Tanto .22 SMG, the Black Ops 6 open beta will give players access to the new DM-10 marksman rifle. Gunfight will make its Black Ops 6 debut in the open beta, along with the addition of a Face Off Kill Order mode. Call of Duty fans who jump into the beta for the first time or continue from where they left off may also unlock exclusive rewards in Black Ops 6, which will become available with the game’s launch on October 25.
