Black Ops 6 devs respond as players beg for nerfs to Recon combat specialty

As a seasoned Black Ops 6 gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel the frustration that’s been echoing through the gaming community lately. The Recon combat specialty has been a thorn in many players’ sides, and it seems like the dev team is finally listening.


Players across various skill levels who play Black Ops 6 are expressing frustration about the Recon combat specialty, which lets them see through walls as soon as they spawn. Many of these players have appealed to the development team, asking for adjustments or a reduction in its effectiveness (nerf).

Furthermore, though we’re unsure of the specific adjustments, we can confirm that they are due shortly. When FaZe Swagg questioned the developers, their reply was simply, “On the way.

For players aiming for high killstreaks and utilizing Omnimovement to outsmart their opponents, this specialty significantly impedes movement, making navigating these maps nearly impossible.

In intense, hardcore gaming modes, it’s common for a player to be killed instantly if they are shot while hiding behind a wall, depending on the type of weapon used.
