Data miners have already uncovered the season 8 patch notes, indicating that the BP50 meta will continue into the next season. Additionally, the Oden is receiving another unexpected buff, much to the dismay of players.

The upcoming patch focuses on reducing hit flinch for most LMGs, making them less effective across all ranges. Players can find the detailed season 8 patch notes below. Please note that all stats mentioned here are subject to change until the official season 8 launch.
