While changes since then have been less frequent, they still continue as the developers look to make the game as balanced as possible.
With the release of Season 9 in a couple of days and the patch notes out, we now know what is set for a buff or a nerf come release time.
It is quite the list too, for multiplayer and survival game modes, the CR-56 AMAX is getting hit with the nerf hammer, with the newly introduced M13 getting a buff.
There are also a couple of changes for the battle royale game mode with the SKS getting a huge nerf.
Check out the full list of the winners and losers below.
