Treyarch tease major SMG changes coming to Black Ops 4 Call of Duty developer Treyarch have hinted that Black Ops 4\u2019s submachine guns may receive a major buff in the near future. Black Ops 4 is the latest addition to the legendary Call of Duty series, but many fans have voiced their annoyance at the current state of the game\u2019s weapon balancing, claiming that the SMGs aren\u2019t powerful enough. This has caused most players to stick with assault rifles as their go-to gun of choice, with the Maddox RFB widely considered to be the best all-round weapon in the game. What\u2019s wrong with Black Ops 4 SMGs? In a post made on the \/r\/BlackOps4 subreddit, user enduroforever broke down the many issues they had with the current state of the game, claiming that the submachine guns in Black Ops 4 \u201chave to be the worst set of SMGs that we\u2019ve gotten in a CoD game.\u201d \u201cThey are so laughably bad compared to assault rifles,\u201d wrote the clearly unhappy Redditor. \u201cHow did we go from Black Ops 3, a game that had amazing SMGs and weapon balancing, to a game where the only guns that are consistently great are the assault rifles and LMGs?\u201d This is because a number of assault rifles have such high damage, that they kill in close-quarters combat quicker than the majority of SMGs. The Saug 8mm and Spitfire are extremely viable at close range, but as enduroforever pointed out: \u201cWhat\u2019s the point in using those guns when the assault rifles do a better, consistent job at almost every range?\u201d Treyarch hint at changes While many Black Ops 4 fans noted their agreement with the sentiment in the comments section, one particular response stood amongst the rest, as a member of the Treyarch development team teased that SMGs could be receiving a buff in the near future. The developer, known only as Tflamez on Reddit, stated: \u201cIf you feel this way, you might have a pleasant surprise coming soon.\u201d What form this buff to the SMGs will take is currently unknown, but many believe that assault rifles like the Maddox RFB also need to be nerfed in short-range gunfights if people are going to start using submachine guns. There is currently no timeline for the improvements for the SMG to be released, but Treyarch normally release updates for the game every Tuesday, so it\u2019s possible \u2013 although unlikely due to the lack of official announcement \u2013 that we could see these changes implemented on April 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
