Patch BO7-S3-Apr21Season Season 3Last updated 2026-04-30

April 21 patch reshaped the long-range meta: MK35 ISR buffed (HS multiplier 1.15→1.16, sprint-to-fire 253→240ms), Strider 300 ADS rework + Fire Time reduction promoted it past Hawker HX, VST recoil retuned but stayed dominant close-range. Carbon 57 buff opened a sleeper-pick window. MPC-25 became CDL-unrestricted and is now Mid-tier — pro adoption ongoing but Warzone meta hasn't shifted yet. Razor 9mm climbing as the Barrage exotic in Black Ops Royale draws attention back to it.
