Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 update breaks assault rifles so badly, they're pretty much useless now

No, it’s not just you – it looks like the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 update has nerfed assault rifles.

As spotted by our friends at Digital Foundry, “assault rifles effective ranges have been accidentally nerfed, causing much lower damage at most ranges”.

Yesterday, we reported Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is clamping down on what it calls “disruptive behaviour” – specifically, players going AFK to boost account levels without playing, or playing on alternative servers via VPNs.
