DIVISIONS/BASIC TRAINING/ATTACHMENTS TUNING
Airborne: Buffed “Sprint faster over time”
- Old: 4% faster and increase to 10%
- New: 7% faster and increase to 10%
- Explanation: The Energetic Basic Training is a flat 7% faster, so this change puts Airborne back on the map as the movement Division.
Saboteur Basic Training: Nerfed effectiveness of Satchel and S-Mine when using Saboteur Basic Training
- Old: 0.0 sec fuse for Satchel and 0.1 sec delay for S-Mine detonation
- New: 0.5 sec fuse for Satchel and 0.2 sec delay for S-Mine detonation
- Explanation: We’ve heard your feedback about Saboteur and so we added a small delay before Satchel and S-Mines detonate to reduce strength. We’ve adjusted how Saboteur interacts with the Flanker Basic Training so that it no longer cancels it out and has its own detonation time.
Rifle Grenade Attachment: Buffed explosive min and max damage
- Old: 25 min damage and 120 max damage
- New: 35 min damage and 125 max damage
- Explanation: The Rifle Grenade was relatively weak and wasn’t as useful as we intended it to be, so this buff should make it a more viable option.
Launched Basic Training: Buffed by increasing launcher damage when using Launched Basic Training
- New: Launchers now deal 30% more damage with Launched Basic Training than before
- Explanation: When we rolled out our Divisions Overhaul in April, we nerfed the strength of launchers to ensure that they wouldn’t dominate the play space and would rather be used primarily to take out Scorestreaks. This change makes this Basic Training and the use of launches a better option for a wider variety of playstyles.
Bayonet Charge/Attachment: Added a sprint speed increase while charging
- New: +4% sprint speed
- Explanation: With the addition of unlimited sprint for all, the Bayonet Charge lost its movement advantage, so we added a speed increase while charging that makes it more viable for closing space between you and an enemy.
Tactical Knife Attachment: Buffed by adding a melee speed increase when you have Tactical Knife Attachment equipped
- New: 15% quicker than standard melee speed
- Explanation: Now that Tactical Knife fills an Attachment slot, there is less of a reason to use it over a melee weapon. This small buff makes it more usable.
Shifty Basic Training: Buffed by increasing number of additional Pistol Attachments
- Old: 1 additional pistol attachment
- New: 2 additional pistol attachments
- Explanation: Shifty Basic Training is currently on the low-end of Basic Training usage. This change should make using pistols more viable outside of the Infantry Division.
GAMEBATTLES/CoDCASTER/ESPORTS MODE
- Fixed issue in GameBattles where Restricted Items were displaying in default loadouts
- Fixed issue where when spectating in CoDCaster mode, players with Infantry Division equipped will not appear to have a Division patch in the Division info display
ZOMBIES
- Fixed UI issues with the Dynamo variant for Nazi Zombies
- Fixed functionality and UI issues with post-match lobbies
- Fixed UI issue where notifications where not populating properly
- Fixed issue in The Shadowed Throne where ammo was not able to be replenished for the Ripsaw
- Fixed issue in The Shadowed Throne where players were able to kill to kill the human, as well as the zombie, in vignettes
- Fixed various map exploits on The Shadowed Throne
- Fixed issue where splitscreen players lost functionality when simultaneously pressing Back and Select
- Fixed issues with completing certain quests in The Shadowed Throne
- Fixed UI issue where incorrect rarities were displaying for Supply Drop item cards
