AK47
The AK-74 is meant to fit a high damage, slower handling and mobility role in the AR class. Over the course of the Black Ops 6 seasons, this position has become less unique, and we’ve seen the weapon fall to the lower end of ARs in our data. We are giving the AK-74 a new, more powerful Max Damage Range up close. Our goal is to set it apart from the other ARs with similar damage profiles and emphasize the original design intent of this weapon.
