CoD: Mobile devs introduce several weapon balance changes

A lot of players have been complaining about the weapon balance in season two of Call of Duty: Mobile. Activision has heard these concerns and is working to improve the overall weapon balance in the game. 

In a community update yesterday, the developers revealed some changes to the AS-VAL, QQ9, and the Man-O-War in CODM. Besides these, some attachments like the monolithic suppressor, huge suppressor, and the MIP light barrel for the Man-O-War are also getting adjusted.

Here are all the changes in CODM’s March weapon balance:

Weapons

AS-VAL

The weapon was introduced into the game this season, but a lot of players have been complaining about the rifle being a bit weak. This led to Activision buffing the weapon.

• Increased bullet velocity
• Optimized recoil, more stable
• Increased range
• Reduced weapon shake when being hit
• Adjusted damage variables when hitting different body parts
• Increased bullet spread when hip firing

QQ9

The QQ9 SMG was not being used as much in comparison to other weapons in its class. Activision has also buffed the weapon. 

• Increased range
• Increasing precision of ADS and hip fire, better recoil control

Man-O-War

With the community complaining about the weapon being too overpowered, Activision has nerfed the weapon a bit. The developer has said that the Man-O-War doesn’t need a “significant nerf” and is making a small change to make it more balanced. 

• Decreased hip fire precision

Attachments

Monolithic suppressor

• Removed movement speed reduction when aiming.
• Increased time to aim the weapon when equipped, +7 to +12 percent (except for SMGs).

Huge suppressor

• Removed vertical recoil control.
• Increased time to aim the weapon when equipped, 16 to 22 percent.

MIP light barrel (short) for Man-O-War

• Increased movement speed +2 to +3 percent.
• Increased vertical recoil control: +6 to 7.8 percent. 

While these balance changes may seem small, Activision will be introducing more to the game in the future. Yesterday, the company released a new public test build for CODM which is being used only to test weapon balancing.
