💬 BuyCarry Team’s Take
This mid season update is packed with content – events, a new mode, and meaningful balance changes. The focus on football and Eid celebrations adds seasonal flavor, while the operator tuning addresses some long standing issues.
What we like:
- Rainbow Football – a fun, low stress collector hunt.
- Vanguard mode – fresh objective gameplay; could become a favorite.
- Morse buffs – he was underperforming; now more viable in Operations.
- Blue buff – 50% damage reduction in Warfare makes her a real tank.
- MP7 HVK kit – massive range increase (from 24m to 40m max). This will change the SMG meta.
What we’re cautious about:
- Luna’s grenade nerf may push her out of the meta for high tier Operations.
- Butterfly’s cooldown increase (90s → 120s) and point reductions are significant – she’ll be less oppressive in Warfare.
- Compound Bow ammo reserve nerf (50 → 30) hurts dedicated bow players.
