No Matter What Black Ops 6 Does With the LC10, It Will Either Be Too Weak or Too Powerful

Cold War’s OP LC10 Issue

The biggest complaint fromCold Warplayers regarding the LC10 is that it was simply overpowered. Matches had a tendency to become filled with players using LC10s, and while some found this to be fun chaos, it also left many feeling frustrated. This was an ongoing debate within theCold Warcommunity, so the decision to bring the gun toBlack Ops 6is intriguing.Some fan-favorite content is coming back for Season 4, but with the LC10 also being thrown in, it’s going to be interesting to see what unfolds.

IfBlack Ops 6’s version of the LC10 is balanced the same way asCold War’s originally was, then there are bound to be fresh complaints about the gun being OP. However, on the other hand, if the LC10 is nerfed inBlack Ops 6, those who loved using the gun inCold Warare going to be disappointed for a completely different reason. For a truly accurate representation of the gun, it would have to be meta from day one, meaning that players could feel outclassed for the first few weeks of the season by those who paid their way through the battle pass. SinceBlack Ops 6Season 4 is right around the corner, the impending arrival of the LC10 is likely be met with a mixture of both excitement and dread, as Treyarch is essentially stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The LC10 Isn’t the Only New Weapon Coming to Black Ops 6 Season 4

Beyond the LC10,Black Ops 6playersalso have some other exciting weapon options to look forward to. Once the new season is underway, it will be interesting to see which new guns players flock to the most. Although the LC10 has a history of being a controversial gun, other past weapons like the Olympia, Essex Model 07, and FFAR 1 making their own comebacks could hold up quite well against the powerful SMG, depending on a player’s skill with each weapon.

Season 4 of Black Ops 6 Can Hopefully Turn Things Around For the Game

Black Ops 6got off to a strong start, achieving the biggest launch weekend in the franchise’s entire history, which is no easy task. However, since then,players have continued to leaveBlack Ops 6, which has left the first-person shooter in troubled waters.

One of the most notableissues players have had withBlack Ops 6is the game’s pricey cosmetics, which could be a major factor in the falling player count. However, with Season 4 on its way, fresh playable content may actually help bring dormant players back, but only time will tell. Until then, those who both loved and hated the LC10 might be in for an interesting new season.
