Black Ops 6 nerfs top weapon AEK-973 in Season 1 update

The Season 1 update for Black Ops 6 has significantly nerfed the AEK-973, previously the game's top weapon. The recoil penalty has increased from 20-25% to 50%, making it harder to control. Additionally, the Rapid Fire attachment now only increases fire rate by 5% and has a longer burst delay, affecting the weapon's effectiveness. Players have expressed mixed reactions, with some criticizing the changes as excessive. While some believe the AEK-973 remains viable without the Rapid Fire attachment, others argue the nerf may diminish its competitiveness in the game.
