Our Thoughts on Season 9 Balance Changes
The Dev has made some great adjustments to the runner-up packof weapons such as ASM, AMAX CR56, and Grau 5.56.
We are excited to see how these buffs will perform against the leading pack such as Kilo 141, Krig 6, Switchblade X9, QQ9, and more.
Regarding the nerfs, it’s not a very big nerfs, we think these weapons are still usable, you just need to adjust your playstyle according to the nerfs.
Overall, the Season 9 balance changes are shaping up for a great weapon meta change in COD Mobile.
You have reached the end of COD Mobile Season 9 (2023) Balance Changes.
