There is a new update for Call of Duty Black Ops 4, and that goodness is for all systems, PS4, Xbox One and PC. Some of these changes are pretty impactful, like the removal of 9-Bang, the grenade that no one has ever liked. We'll see if it's gone for good, since, according to the update, they are evaluating its "place in the gameplay loop", whatever the hell that means. I think that it should just die, and no one should mention it again.
Here's all the details:
Blackout
Playlist Updates
- Blightfather added to all playlists.
- 100-Player Quads added to the Featured playlist.
- Maximum players in Solo and Duos playlists changed to 88.
Character Missions
- Zombies Chaos Storyline Character Missions now available (Bruno, Diego, Scarlett, and Shaw).
- Increased drop rates of Character Mission items.
Weapons (Blackout Only)
Submachine Guns
- Increased muzzle velocity on all SMGs. This should provide more consistent gunfights when in SMG range, along with ensuring that SMGs perform as expected in their intended power band when compared to Assault Rifles in Blackout.
Spitfire
- Reduced recoil
Assault Rifles
Rampart 17
- Reduced ADS sway.
- Reduced recoil.
Tactical Rifles
Auger DMR
- Increased re-center speed. We slowed down the re-center due to high performance in our Blackout beta, but have seen the AUGER slightly underperform since release.
- Slightly increased muzzle velocity. This should make for more predictable shots when firing at a moving target within the Auger’s intended ranges.
Swordfish
- Tightened the spread pattern. This should allow more shots to land on target at range.
Light Machine Guns
- While some players have found success with the LMGs in Blackout, they’re still being passed over by the large majority of players. These changes should help make LMGs more manageable when providing cover fire or engaging targets at range.
Titan
- Increased re-center speed.
- Reduced re-center pattern offsets for more predictable recoil.
VKM 750
- Increased re-center speed.
- Reduced re-center pattern offsets.
Hades
- Increased re-center speed.
- Reduced re-center pattern offsets.
Equipment (Blackout Only)
9-Bang
- Removed the 9-Bang from Blackout while we evaluate its place in the gameplay loop.
Concussion Grenade
- Increased throw distance.
- Increased stack count to 2.
