- The Kar98k has undergone significant nerfs to its damage profiles, reducing its overall damage output and two-shot potential.

Superior 46 Changes
The Superior 46 SMG, previously considered one of the top weapons in the game, has received adjustments that aim to bring it in line with other options. These changes include the introduction of new hit boxes and a damage multiplier for stomach and lower arm shots. The video demonstrates how these changes affect the weapon’s time to kill and highlights the importance of shot placement.
Kar98k Nerfs
The Kar98k, known for its high damage output and two-shot potential, has been significantly nerfed in this update. The damage profiles for various body parts, including the arm, stomach, and leg, have been reduced, making it less effective at downing opponents quickly. The video compares the Kar98k to the XRK Stalker, which now shares the same damage profile as the pre-nerf Kar98k, but with a few trade-offs.
Comparison to XRK Stalker
The video highlights the similarities between the Kar98k and the XRK Stalker, both in terms of their damage profiles and overall performance. While the Kar98k still maintains its advantages in areas such as ads time and first damage range, the XRK Stalker now offers a higher damage output across the body. Players are encouraged to consider these trade-offs when choosing between the two weapons.
