This is a detailed look at all the buffs and nerfs for Season 13.
Season 13 has not made a lot of balance changes; buffs or nerfs to guns or any other particular weapon for that matter. The only real adjustments this time around have been in gamemode and a few annoying perks.

Season 13 Buffs and Nerfs
This time, perks have been mainly buffed or nerfed. However, some particular guns have been adjusted by a small margin as well. Do not expect the meta to entirely change or be completely chaotic though; since they are quite negligible changes.
Let’s take a look at all the changes:
The Equalizer
Buffed or Nerfed? Buffed
The Equalizer’s ammunition capacity has been increased by 10%. A welcome change since the gun has one of the lowest magazine capacities.
Annihilator
Buffed or Nerfed? Nerfed
The Annihilator’s bullet tracking has been reduced significantly turning it into a far less potent weapon at longer ranges.
Ballistic Shield
Buffed or Nerfed? Nerfed
The Ballistic Shield is one of the more recent additions made to the game. As such, the Ballistic Shield turned out to be quite broken in some situations. So, the pistol that is used when equipping the shield’s magazine capacity has been reduced. But, players now using the Shield cannot be tracked from the front using the Annihilator
Fennec
Buffed or Nerfed? Nerfed
The Fennec has been one of the most notroious weapons in the previous patch as well. Now, the Short MIP Lightweight Barrel have less movement speed. Moreover, the Akimbo perk which is quite pesky to deal with has also been adjusted to have higher reload times and lower damage numbers as well.
Arctic .50
Buffed or Nerfed? Nerfed
A very common magazine used for the Arctic.50, the MIP has been nerfed to have slightly reduced firing, recoil and amazine capacity.
The general match-making algorithm has also been optimized which should reduce the general level gap you see between players. Moreover, the calculation of ranking points has been changed favoring players of higher conduct scores and KD/s.
This concludes everything you need to know about the buffs and nerfs made to guns in Season 13 of Call of Duty: Mobile. You can also check out the list of awesome new Season 13 rewards and Ranked Series 8 rewards.
