Black Ops 7 Update Patch Notes: Latest Weapon Balancing & Bug Fixes

Time: 2025-11-22

The latest Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 update arrived on November 21, bringing significant changes to weapon balance and core gameplay mechanics. This fifth update since the game's November 14 launch introduces crucial adjustments to rotational aim assist and addresses the community's feedback about SMG performance relative to assault rifles.

Key Changes in the November 21 Patch

Aim Assist Rebalancing
The minimum rotational aim assist penalty has been reduced from 35% to 25%, giving controller players slightly more assistance when their right-stick inputs aren't perfectly tracking targets. This change aims to address player feedback about the "overshot" balance target from launch day tuning while maintaining the competitive integrity between input methods.

Weapon Category Overhaul
The update brings substantial changes to multiple weapon categories:

  • Assault Rifles: Received flinch increased from .15N to .18N, with specific nerfs to the M15 MOD 0, AK-27, MXR-17, X9 Maverick, and DS20 Mirage

  • SMGs: Received flinch reduced from 0.17N to 0.12N, with range improvements across all SMGs including Ryden 45K and RK-9

  • Marksman Rifles: Handling penalties applied to Warden 308 and M34 Novaline to reduce their versatility

  • Pistols & LMGs: Various adjustments including Jäger 45 prestige barrel redesign and MK7.8 handling improvements

Gameplay and UI Updates

  • Minimap viewable area increased by 10% (following previous 15% increase)

  • Drone Pod Field Upgrade nerfed with longer charge time and reduced duration

  • Scorestreak adjustments including Hand Cannon Akimbo Overclock buff

  • Zombies mode difficulty reductions and exploit fixes

  • Endgame mode now available to all Black Ops 7 owners

For players looking to quickly adapt to the new meta with optimized gear, you can buy Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 items through MMOMAX for competitive pricing and reliable service.

This comprehensive update demonstrates the developers' commitment to refining the Black Ops 7 experience based on player feedback and gameplay data, with promises of continued weapon tuning as the game approaches its first season.
