The wait is over, soldiers! The latest seasonal update has dropped, and for Call of Duty: Mobile these balance changes are some of the most impactful we've seen in 2025. The entire weapon meta is being shaken up, with significant buffs, crucial nerfs, and a host of other adjustments. Whether you’ve been dominating with the current top dogs or praying for your favorite gun to get some love, the s10 weapon balance changes have something for everyone. It's time to dive in and see how the battlefield has been transformed.

Major Buffs: Who's on Top Now?

Let's start with the winners of these new balance changes. The Kilo 141 is back in the spotlight in a big way. With buffs to its lower arm multiplier and a reduction in the ADS time penalty for the OWC Marksman barrel, it feels incredibly snappy. Even better, the Large Extended Mags no longer carry a movement penalty, making it a faster and more lethal option than ever. Another huge contender is the MG82 LMG, which received a significant range and recoil buff. It can now reliably three-shot enemies up to 24 meters, making it a terrifying force to be reckoned with in mid-range engagements. 🔥

Other notable buffs that will shift the meta include:

• Maddox: An improved upper arm multiplier and a much better range profile mean you can take fights at longer distances.

• Type 25: A stronger upper arm multiplier and better bullet spread accuracy (BSA) make this classic assault rifle more reliable.

• Groza: Increased head and chest multipliers now reward precision shots more, turning it into a high-skill, high-reward weapon.

The Nerf Hammer Strikes

Of course, not every weapon could come out on top. The once-dominant USS9 SMG has been taken down a notch. Its bullet speed has been reduced, and the popular no-stock attachment provides less of a movement speed buff. While it's still a viable weapon, these nerfs are definitely noticeable and open the door for other SMGs to shine. So, is it still meta? Perhaps, but it's no longer the undisputed king.

Snipers also saw some adjustments, with the Locus receiving a nerf to its hit flinch. This means you'll be thrown off your aim more easily when taking fire. It’s a subtle shift, but one that will require sniper mains to adjust their positioning and timing. These balance changes are clearly aimed at diversifying the long-range meta.

Small Changes, Big Impact

Sometimes, it's the small changes that make all the difference. Several weapons received minor tweaks that have a surprisingly large effect on their performance. The RUS-79U, for example, had its damage profile slightly adjusted, making it a more consistent and reliable weapon across different ranges. The Mac 10 also got a small but welcome buff to its range and stomach multiplier, making it more forgiving in close-quarters combat.

These adjustments prove that the developers are paying close attention to weapon performance across the board. The CR-56 AMAX, for example, got better BSA and damage, making it more reliable at range, while the AS VAL received barrel buffs that improve its three-shot potential up close. Don't sleep on these seemingly minor tweaks!

Equipment and Battle Royale Adjustments

The s10 weapon balance changes aren't just about guns. Several pieces of equipment and operator skills have been re-tuned. The notorious Tempest's stun duration has been drastically cut from 5 seconds to just 2, giving players a much better chance to fight back. The Death Machine also saw its duration reduced. In Battle Royale, weapons like the Crossbow have had their damage profiles updated to better fit the mode's health and armor system. These balance changes ensure that the entire sandbox, not just the multiplayer arsenal, feels fresh and competitive. 😮

Final Thoughts

All in all, the Season 10 update delivers on its promise of a meta shake-up. From major buffs to fan-favorite guns like the Kilo 141 to targeted nerfs and a variety of small changes, the landscape of combat has shifted. Now is the perfect time to experiment with new loadouts and find your next go-to weapon. With the Call of Duty Next 2025 event on the horizon, we can expect even more news soon. For now, get out there and master Call of Duty: Mobile these balance changes before everyone else does!
