If you’re playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, you’ll know all about the 9-Bang.
9-Bangs blind your enemies, making them sitting ducks for a kill. If you hit them with a fully-charged 9-Bang, then they’re sitting ducks for ages. They’re a hugely popular tactic in the multiplayer portion of the game, whether it’s traditional multiplayer or Blackout, the battle royale. When you’re 9-Banged, it looks like this:

While we wait to find out, perhaps this is our only option against the 9-Bang scourge:
