Black Ops 6 Gamers Request Buff for This Assault Rifle

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 enthusiasts are raising their voices, urging developers at Treyarch Studios to enhance the capabilities of the Goblin MK2 assault rifle. A portion of the gaming community has expressed their dissatisfaction, labeling the weapon as ineffective in dealing damage to foes. Fans are clamoring for improvements, describing it as “slow” and a “nightmare” when used in Core game modes. However, not everyone is in agreement; some players argue that the rifle doesn’t require any improvement.

As Season 1 of both Black Ops 6 and Warzone looms on the horizon, players can expect a flurry of weapon tweaks in the game’s first major update. While the specifics of which weapons will be modified are yet to be revealed, Activision has already disclosed some information about the new arsenal debuting with Season 1. Players in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone can look forward to unlocking the Krig C assault rifle and the Saug submachine gun through the Season 1 Battle Pass. There’s also a mid-season event, The Hit List, promising a range of other weapons.

Starting November 14, Warzone will offer nearly 200 weapons, but the Goblin MK2 might not be a top choice. This sentiment echoes on Reddit, where user SteveHood criticized the rifle as “slow,” noting it requires three to four hits to defeat an enemy in Core modes. His post has resonated with many, amassing over 1,200 upvotes as of now. However, not all players share this view. Reddit user Connect-Tea-2217 finds the Goblin MK2 quite manageable, citing its “great” handling and saying it simply demands quick reflexes. Another player, cookkjsc, even mentioned, “I shred with this in core, I don’t get all the hate.”

Despite the varying opinions, Treyarch’s most recent update saw the Goblin MK2 receiving a significant nerf. The rifle’s maximum damage range was reduced from 39 to 37, although its overall range was extended from 6.4m to 39.4m. Critics on Reddit have pointed out that this adjustment might not have substantial impact, given the generally compact size of Black Ops 6’s maps.

In other news, Treyarch Studios confirmed a return of a beloved party mode in Season 1, much to the delight of many fans looking forward to the update. Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, crafted by Treyarch and Raven, immerses players in a 1990s-era spy thriller during the global shift at the end of the Cold War. The campaign offers high-octane gameplay, featuring thrilling heists and stealth missions. Multiplayer enthusiasts can anticipate testing their skills across 16 new maps and enjoy the classic Round-Based Zombies mode, which returns with fresh maps.

Black Ops 6, released on October 25, 2024, provides an exceptional multiplayer experience with both online co-op and competitive play. With robust cross-save and cross-platform capabilities, it has become a staple for both veteran gamers and newcomers to the franchise. Whether navigating through its exhilarating campaign or battling online, Black Ops 6 continues to engage players across various platforms.
