Players are complaining about the way the AK74 handles in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with some criticizing the weapon in comparison to the traditional AK47 assault rifle. There's a vast collection of weapons to choose from in Black Ops 6, though the AK74 is likely one of the more popular given how prevalent the assault rifle is in other media as well as previous Call of Duty titles. However, some players think Treyarch missed the mark when it comes to the AK74 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Since its release in October 2024, Black Ops 6 has unsurprisingly continued to dominate the FPS genre, garnering massive player counts as well as hype online. Featuring three core modes, Black Ops 6 has more than enough content for both longtime and new fans alike to sink their teeth into, though the game's multiplayer component remains the bread and butter for most. Mostly everything players have come to expect with the Call of Duty brand is represented in Black Ops 6, such as classic game modes like Team Deathmatch and Search and Destroy, though there are a few new tweaks and changes that attempt to shake up the formula. Black Ops 6 features a large variety of weapons within its multiplayer mode, with one in particular striking a chord among players, so much so that a discussion recently broke out on social media.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Want Major Change to This Game Mode
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players call for developer Treyarch Studios to make a major adjustment to one of the game's most popular multiplayer modes.
Reddit user Grand-Article4214 shared a post to the Black Ops 6 official community page criticizing the way the game's version of the AK74 feels when firing, claiming developers don't know the difference between it and the regular AK74 variant of the assault rifle. There's always been a hefty number of weapons to pick and choose from in each Call of Duty, and this remains true of assault rifles in Black Ops 6, though some fans think the game's AK74 dishes out too much recoil. "It's a 5.45 not 7.62," says the original poster.
Fans Call Out AK74 Recoil in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Other players joined in, sharing their thoughts about the weapon and Black Ops 6's arsenal as a whole. One player said that the AK74 is quite good in Black Ops 6's Zombies mode, but is just okay in the game's multiplayer mode. "Ngl, the gun selection in bo6 is weak," said another player. The AK74 is unlocked at level 10, making it one of the first weapons players will be able to get their hands on as they progress through the ranks of Black Ops 6.
With the start of a new year, players can look forward to more content updates and expansions in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The game is currently in the middle of its Season 1 cycle, which brought new maps, modes, and weapons into Black Ops 6 as well as Warzone. This seasonal update is set to wrap up on January 28, with Season 2 scheduled to launch shortly after. The holidays brought special limited-time fun for both multiplayer and Zombies fans, with plenty more on the horizon for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
