The M4, Switchblade X9 SMG, and the HVK-30 have all been shadow buffed in the August 12 update for Call of Duty: Mobile.
Call of Duty: Mobile got a small update today (August 12) that has some pretty significant weapon balance changes.
The only issue is this update comes without patch notes, so knowing exactly what changes have been made is next to impossible.
Thankfully, there are some very helpful members who have peered into the game's files and learned of a number of "shadow" buffs and nerfs.
