Treyarch has responded to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 “PC meta” with a significant nerf to its most powerful and popular weapon.
Ever since Black Ops 4 was released in October, it’s become clear the console version and the PC version have separate metas – that is to say, some weapons and tactics that have emerged as powerful and thus popular on PC aren’t necessarily powerful and thus popular on console, and vice versa.
A case in point is the Saug 9mm Operator Mod, which sacrifices aim down sights (ADS) for dual wielding. This SMG combo has proved extremely powerful on PC, where mouse and keyboard lets players dart around the map and shoot with precision even without ADS. Here’s a clip showing how powerful the Saug 9mm Operator Mod can be on PC:
