Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Adjusts Jackal PDW for Beta Weekend 2

In response to player feedback, Treyarch has announced a significant adjustment to the Jackal PDW submachine gun for the second weekend of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta. The developers are not only tuning this powerful weapon but also introducing fresh content for beta participants, including new weapons and maps.

The early access beta for Black Ops 6 began on August 30, and a major update was rolled out on September 2. This update introduced the Face Off 6v6 mode along with the Pit and Gala 6v6 maps. Face Off mode features traditional game modes like Team Deathmatch and Kill Confirmed, but with the twist that Scorestreaks are disabled. The second weekend of the beta, which marks the start of the open beta period, will bring additional updates.

Treyarch's official Twitter account confirmed that the Jackal PDW SMG has been "tuned" for the beta's second weekend, indicating that it has been nerfed. Players are encouraged to explore the new Tanto .22 SMG, which becomes available at level 30. Full patch notes detailing the Jackal PDW's adjustments, as well as other changes to weapons and maps, will be published on September 6.
