Call of Duty Mobileplayers take the on-the-go FPS very seriously, often coming up with loadouts and strategies in the same way as the mainline series. As such, it is no surprise that players noticed when the strongestCall of Duty MobileAssault Rifle began functioning differently.
The ASM10 has dominated duringSeason 13 ofCall of Duty Mobile, with the AK47-like weapon boasting low recoil and a quick killing speed. Guaranteed to drop foes in just a few shots to the body, the assault rifle has become the most popular gun in its class. However, developer TiMi Studios has made a noticeable change to the weapon, though the nerf does not seem to be mentioned anywhere on the patch notes for the game’s latest update.

TheCall of Dutyseries is not new to secret nerfs, asCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’scombat knife was changedwithout warning a few weeks after release. However, it is a bit surprising to see the always communicative developers ofCall of Duty Mobileleaving the nerf unmentioned, especially with the open announcement that the dual wield Fennec would be brought down a few pegs. Regardless,Call of Duty Mobileplayers will be seeing a bit less ammunition in their ASM10 magazines going forward.
PopularCall of Duty MobileYouTuber BobbyPlays noticed the change when playing the game, and it could give players a bit more troubleunlocking the new Diamond camofor the ASM10. Previously, the weapon held 30 rounds in each clip, but following the patch it only holds 25. A balancing change that was likely made due to the weapon’s incredibly fast killing speed, players will need to equip an extended mag if their playstyle relied heavily on the 30-round clips that the gun previously had.
Fortunately for any ASM10 fans that are fine with a bit less ammo in each clip, there will be no need to switch over to another weaponlike the QXR SMG. As shown in BobbyPlays testing, the ASM10 is just as deadly as it has ever been, dropping foes in three shots like it has always done. While the weapon has indeed been secretly nerfed, the changes should not be substantial enough to stop the gun from being used.
With the balancing pass for the ASM10 only making a minor change to the way the gun handles,Call of Duty Mobile’s many fansshould not be bothered by the nerf. A wise move to create a fairer game while keeping a fan-favorite gun fun to use, it is hard to think of why the nerf went unmentioned by TiMi Studios.
