Over the first weekend of Black Ops 6 beta, the Jackal PDW SMG dominated the lobbies, so Treyarch has confirmed that “it’s been tuned for Weekend 2.” You can check the open beta patch notes to find all the details about other weapon changes.

The level cap was 20 during weekend 1, and Activision has now increased it to 30 for the second weekend of the beta. Reaching this level will allow you to equip the new Tanto .22 full-auto SMG for your loadouts.

Speaking of new weapons, you can also get the DM-10 semi-automatic Marksman Rifle at Level 25. You can also get the Interceptors Scorestreak at Level 22 and call in the Chopper Gunner at Level 29, respectively. Babylon will be the newest map in the beta.

The devs have mentioned that spawns will also be tweaked in the upcoming session. Several players complained about inconsistent spawns, so Activision took note of that and worked on it.

Players can earn more Weapon XP during the second weekend of the Black Ops 6 beta, which means unlocking different attachments would be a lot faster. Apart from that, players will also get to use new Equipment, Perks, and Beta rewards.

You can also see some audio improvements in the game along with other updates and bug fixes.
