Insane Black Ops 6 movement already buffed before launch

Black Ops 6 beta’s first weekend was a huge success, with players loving its fast-paced gameplay, and Weekend 2 is building on that by making movement even quicker.

Treyarch released patch notes detailing the changes for the beta’s second weekend, which included nerfs to the Jackal PDW and a buff for the C9 SMG.

However, the most impactful changes were the huge range of movement boosts given to the majority of the game’s guns. These adjustments included improvements to key stats like movement speed, ADS movement speed, crouch speed, and even sprint speed.

Furthermore, weapon swap speeds were increased across the board by 50 ms to make switching guns more fluid. If this somehow still feels sluggish, you can try Fast Hands, a classic Call of Duty perk that makes its debut in the beta this weekend.

These buffs were almost universal for every weapon class in the game, with the only exception being sniper rifles, which received a slight nerf to crouch speed. Otherwise, every other gun got faster and more mobile, making Omnimovement an even more powerful tool.
