Double XP weekend is here in ****** Ops 7, and a new update with balancing changes has arrived with it to shake up Call of Duty one week after its latest launch.

The update includes a number of weapon balancing, including a buff to aim assist, a nerf to assault rifles, and big buffs for SMGs. The Ryden 45K, RK-9, Razor 9mm, Dravec 45, Carbon 57, and MPC-25 have all had an increase to their maximum medium damage range, which should help them compete a bit more with ARs.

Read on below to see what's changed in BO7 starting today ahead of the double XP weekend.
