Treyarch has released a new update for Black Ops 7, less than a week after the start of the mid-season, along with the respective patch notes.
Even though last week's patch was significant, as it added all the Season 1 Reloaded content, it didn't adjust any of the weapons. However, the developers promised that a new update focused on weapon tuning would arrive at a later date.
Making good on their promise, the patch is here and it brings several adjustments, including the long-awaited nerf to the Maddox RFB, which has been a conversation since it was added at the start of Season 1.
Here are the complete patch notes with all the weapon adjustments and other bug fixes:
