This Season 02 balance update targets several core objectives: enhancing Assault Rifle effectiveness at long range, making the FMJ attachment a more compelling option for ARs, and boosting overall competitiveness among SMGs. We also adjusted underused attachments to promote greater build diversity. Please note that the nerfs to the Tier S Sturmwolf-45 and M15 MOD 0 metas are being noted, with the changes not expected to impact the meta position for these weapons, but should better balance both weapons by bringing them more in line with other ARs and SMGs.

Regarding FMJ ammo, here are the main changes (applied to all weapons):

FMJ Ammo has been changed to the following:

• 14% Damage Range
• 14% Bullet Velocity
• 10% Inflicted Flinch

Penetration Damage remains the same.

Here are all the details on the weapon changes...

Assault Rifles

AK-27

• Minimum damage increased from 29 to 30 at ranges of 65 meters
• Saber Pack Heavy Drum reload time improved by 20%
• Horizontal and vertical recoil improved on multiple attachments

The AK-27 remains a difficult weapon to control, but now significantly rewards those who can maintain their aim at long range with a more competitive TTK.

DS20 Mirage

• Reload improved by 15% with Griffon Reserve Extended II
• Bullet velocity penalty reduced on multiple barrels
• Mobility, ADS, and sprint-to-fire improvements

M15 MOD 0

• Maximum damage reduced from 33 to 32
• Maximum range reduced (from 45m to 38m)
• Average damage reduced from 26 to 25

The M15 MOD 0 was too dominant in medium-range combat. This nerf reduces its effectiveness while maintaining ease of use.

MADDOX RFB

• Recoil deflection reduced by 10%
• Vertical and horizontal recoil reduced by 5%
• Projectile velocity increased from 870 m/s to 905 m/s

MXR-17

• Minimum damage increased from 34 to 35
• Projectile velocity increased to 900 m/s
• Reload rate improved by 23% with the Rhodes Drum Mag

Peacekeeper MK1

• Minimum damage increased from 21 to 22
• Horizontal recoil reduced by 10%
• Vertical recoil reduced by 8%
• Significant improvements to mobility and ADS

The Peacekeeper MK1 is now more reliable at long range and rewards accurate players.

X9 Maverick

• Reload improved by 15%
• Projectile velocity increased by up to 20%
• Vertical recoil significantly reduced

Carbon 57

• Average range increased to 23 meters
• Torso and arm multipliers increased to 0.95x
• General ADS speed improvements

DRAVEC 45

Strumwolf 45

• Range reduced at all ranges
• Headshot multiplier reduced from 1.15x to 1.12x Damage at Reduced arms and legs

The Strumwolf 45 remains strong, but now requires much more precision to reach maximum TTK.
