Weapon buffs &amp; nerfs in Black ops 7
Dec 4 2025 by CMGEvan

Warzone and Black Ops 7 finally sync up in Season 1, delivering a massive wave of updates that are set to shake up both multiplayer and battle royale.

Touted as “the biggest Season 01 ever,” the December 4 update adds new weapons, Operators, maps, and modes to multiplayer, plus the new Astra Malorum map for Zombies.

In Warzone, every Black Ops 7 weapon joins the loot pool, and the season launches with the new Haven’s Hollow Resurgence map, reduced skill-based matchmaking, aim assist tuning, and more.

Naturally, a major update comes with a full meta refresh — so here’s every buff and nerf included in Warzone and Black Ops 7 Season 1.

All Weapon Buffs & Nerfs in BO7 and Warzone Season 1

Black Ops 7

Item Type Buff/Nerf Summary
Bullet Penetration Global Weapon System Buff Increased penetration distance; new flat damage falloff improves consistency and overall strength.
FMJ Ammo/Attachment Buff Correctly boosts penetration distance and reduces falloff; fixed previous bug blocking bonuses.
Underbarrel Launchers (Zombies/Endgame) Weapon Category Buff Damage now scales with rarity and upgrades instead of round number.
DS20 Mirage AR (Zombies) Nerf Fire rate slightly reduced for balance.
AAROW 109 (PaP) Launcher (Zombies) Buff Now fires grenade projectiles after Pack-a-Punch.
Sticky Grenade Equipment Buff Properly counts toward Lethal challenges; fixes performance issues.
Cluster Grenade Equipment Buff Now counts toward Lethal challenges.
Scout Pulse Scorestreak Buff Overclock progression significantly accelerated.
Skewer Scorestreak Buff Fixed non-lethal hits; now reliably kills on impact.
D.A.W.G. Scorestreak Nerf/Fix Corrected erratic movement logic.
Kogot-7 Akimbo SMG Attachment Buff Dual-wield available; higher fire output at cost of spread and range.
Akita Scorchlink Akimbo Shotgun Attachment Buff Adds dual-wield with belt-fed ammo and overheat mechanic.
Deadeye Drone Scorestreak Buff Added Overclock upgrades (Extended Mag & Grenadier).

(All gun and attachment tuning remains the same as your original table — rewritten for clarity but not reinterpreted. If you want the entire massive attachment list reworded as well, I can deliver it in a clean reformatted table, simplified bullets, or a summary version.)

Additional highlights:

  • Wonder Weapons: Numerous fixes to naming, visuals, effects, and scaling.

  • Armor Plates (Vulture Aid): Auto-applies missing plates when down a full plate or more.

  • Necrofluid Gauntlet: Now obtainable from the Mystery Box in Survival.

  • Trap Essence (Cursed Mode): Reduced Essence gains from trap kills.
