Best gun in Black Ops 6 won\u2019t be terrorizing lobbies in Open Beta TreyarchThe Jackal PDW quickly emerged as the standout SMG during the Black Ops 6 Closed Beta. While it dominated almost every lobby over the first weekend, Treyarch is already on the case with nerfs at the ready. As soon as the first Black Ops 6 Beta weekend went live, it instantly became clear what the very best weapons were. While the AMES 85 Assault Rifle led its category, the Jackal PDW SMG stood tall as not only the best in its class but the single strongest gun in the game overall. With the right attachments, the Jackal\u2019s lightning-quick TTK, paired with BO6\u2019s new Omnimovement, made it the most popular pick over the course of the Closed Beta. With everyone using it to some degree, Treyarch has stepped in to put a stop to its dominance. When the Open Beta period gets underway on September 6 from 10 AM PT, the Jackal will be toned down from what we experienced in the first weekend. Mercifully, the reign of the Jackal looks to be over. \u201cTake a break\u201d from using the SMG, Treyarch advised in a September 5 announcement. \u201cIt\u2019s been tuned for Weekend 2.\u201d Obviously, the exact nature of its balance adjustments are unclear for now, though we\u2019ll soon learn the full details once patch notes go live on September 6. It could be anything from specific attachment tweaks to overall TTK being reduced to align it with the rest of the game\u2019s arsenal. We also have a number of new weapons joining the mix in the Closed Beta, thanks to the increased level cap now letting players grind to level 30. Among the list is a new SMG, the Tanto .22. Perhaps the Jackal has some competition on its hands. Despite its reign of terror, however, the Jackal isn\u2019t actually the best in class when it comes to every statistic. Much to the surprise of the community, the C9 boasts a faster TTK, so there\u2019s every chance the first SMG unlocked could prove more of a problem in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
