One Weapon is Dominating Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Beta

Key Takeaways

  • Fans are flocking to the overpowered Jackal PDW in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s beta.
  • Players are frustrated with the gun’s long range, as it mimics marksman rifles despite being an SMG.
  • Fans hope developers will nerf the Jackal PDW before the game’s full release based on feedback.

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent on the battlefields of Call of Duty, I must say that the current state of affairs in Black Ops 6’s beta is causing quite the stir. The Jackal PDW, this seemingly innocuous submachine gun, has taken over the multiplayer landscape like a digital wildfire, leaving players scrambling for alternatives.


Fans of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 have been swarming towards an excessively powerful weapon within the game during its closed beta weekend, and it turns out to be none other than the submachine gun Jackal PDW. This firearm has gained such widespread popularity that players have commented that they frequently encounter opponents wielding only this gun in matches. The general sentiment among the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 community appears to suggest that the weapon requires a balance adjustment, or in other words, it needs to be toned down.

The beta version of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” started on August 30, offering early access to those who pre-ordered, enabling them to try out several multiplayer maps and a variety of game modes before the official release. A significant alteration in this new installment is the improvement of the aim assist mechanic within “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.” The aim assist feature has been a contentious issue for quite some time in the series, but the developers have addressed it in the latest edition. Meanwhile, the community has expressed concern over one particularly powerful weapon that they feel needs to be toned down.

In a recent discussion on the r/Call_of_Duty: Black Ops 6 subreddit, user Danbuys brought attention to a standout weapon that’s making waves in the early game dynamics. The Jackal PDW is reportedly one of the strongest weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, outperforming others significantly. Players have pointed out that this gun excels not just due to its minimal kickback, but also because it boasts an exceptionally long firing range. This feature makes the weapon hard to combat effectively, as the time it takes to eliminate opponents has been shortened in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 too.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Fans Frustrated With Jackal PDW’s Range

Even though some users find the low recoil satisfactory, they appear to be more annoyed with the gun’s extended reach. Players have pointed out that the Jackal PDW exhibits characteristics similar to a sniper rifle due to its lengthy range, despite being classified as a submachine gun. Interestingly, other weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, like the SWAT 556, which are genuine marksman rifles, seem to underperform relative to the Jackal PDW’s reach.

Given that the game, “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6,” is still in its testing phase (beta), it’s reasonable to expect that the developers will look over community feedback and adjust the game’s weapons’ balance prior to its official launch. Many fans have encountered difficulties accessing the beta version, and an unbalanced weapon has only added to their frustration as they were excited to test the game. It remains uncertain whether a patch will be released before the beta concludes, but fans are optimistic that the problematic weapon will be toned down (nerfed) before the final release of the game.
