All weapon buffs & nerfs in Black Ops Cold War Season 3 Reloaded update TreyarchBlack Ops Cold War\u2019s Season 3 Reloaded patch introduced a sweeping set of weapon changes in one of the biggest balance updates yet. Here\u2019s a complete breakdown of every major buff and nerf. With each sizable Black Ops Cold War update comes a ton of new content and, more often than not, some noteworthy balance changes. With Season 3 Reloaded, Treyarch implemented perhaps the biggest set of weapon adjustments to date. From Sniper Rifles to Pistols and Light Machine Guns, almost every weapon category has been tweaked to some degree. Bullet Velocity across the board has been heavily altered while many of the most popular attachments have been hit with considerable nerfs. There\u2019s a lot to wrap your head around, but we\u2019ve got you covered. Below is a complete breakdown of every weapon buff and nerf in Black Ops Cold War\u2019s Season 3 Reloaded patch. Sniper Rifle changes in Season 3 Reloaded update Sniper Rifles received undoubtedly the biggest changes in the Season 3 Reloaded update. From individual weapon tweaks to overall category adjustments, Treyarch hopes to finally bring Snipers back to the foreground. First up, Snipers now have a unique flinch exclusive to the weapon class. This new flinch \u201cmoves the weapon aim while being hit.\u201d Adding to that, each Sniper now controls differently when aiming down sights. \u2018ADS Momentum\u2019 is the label given to the feeling of scoping in and out. Moving forward, heavier Snipers will have slower ADS Momentum, meaning they\u2019ll scope in slower than lighter alternatives. Overall, three Snipers now have slower ADS speeds. The ZRG 20mm, Pellington 703, and LWS \u2013 Tundra will now scope in slightly slower than before. The Swiss K31 has seen no changes to the base ADS speed, while the M82 received the only notable ADS buff. This more recent Sniper now has faster ADS speed with better one-hit kill potential. As a tradeoff, it now comes with a drastically slower rate of fire. LW3 \u2013 Tundra – Increased Bullet Velocity from 550 to 580. – Reduced ADS-In Momentum from 0.2 to 0.233. – – Attachments Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 28.2\u201d Extended Barrel attachment from 25% to 18%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 29.1\u201d Combat Recon Barrel attachment from 75% to 36%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 28.2\u201d Tiger Team Barrel attachment from 50% to 27%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from Dropshot Wrap Handle attachment from 50% to 33%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from Field Tape Handle attachment from 90% to 50%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from SASR Jungle Grip Handle attachment from 80% to 67%. – Increased Sprint to Fire Time penalty from SASR Jungle Grip Handle attachment from 12% to 15%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance Bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 90% to 25%. – Increased Sprint to Fire Time penalty from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 15% to 18%. – Reduced Aim Down Sight Time bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 12% to 5%. – – Pelington 703 – Increased Sprint to Fire speed from 0.45 to 0.433. – Reduced Bullet Velocity from 500 to 478. – Increased Aim Down Sight Time from 0.55 to 0.583. – – Attachments Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 25\u201d Extended Barrel attachment from 25% to 17%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 27.2\u201d Combat Recon Barrel attachment from 75% to 43%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 26.5\u201d Tiger Team Barrel attachment from 50% to 30%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from Field Tape Handle attachment from 90% to 50%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from SASR Jungle Grip Handle attachment from 80% to 67%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance Bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 90% to 25%. – Reduced Aim Down Sight Time bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 12% to 5%. – – Sniper Rifle Charlie \u2013 M82 – Increased one-hit kill potential to include the mid-torso. – Increased Aim Down Sight speed from 0.7 to 0.666. – Increased ADS-Out Momentum from 0.2 to 0.183. – Reduced ADS-In Momentum from 0.2 to 0.25. – Reduced firing speed from 0.333 to 0.833. – – Attachments Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 22.2\u201d Extended Barrel attachment from 25% to 13%. – Increased Fire Rate bonus from 20.6\u201d Rapid Fire Barrel attachment from 11% to 12%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 22.6\u201d Combat Recon Barrel attachment from 75% to 26%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 22.6\u201d Tiger Team Barrel attachment from 50% to 20%. – Increased Fire Rate bonus from 22.6\u201d Tiger Team Barrel attachment from 18% to 24%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from Field Tape Handle attachment from 90% to 50%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from SASR Jungle Grip Handle attachment from 80% to 67%. – Increased Sprint to Fire penalty from SASR Jungle Grip Handle attachment from 12% to 15%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance Bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 90% to 25%. – Increased Sprint to Fire penalty from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 15% to 18%. – Reduced Aim Down Sight Time bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 12% to 5%. – – ZRG 20mm – Reduced Aim Down Sight speed from 0.65 to 0.683. – Reduced Bullet Velocity from 925 to 923. – Increased ADS-Out Momentum from 0.2 to 0.183. – Reduced ADS-In Momentum from 0.2 to 0.283. – Custom Vehicle Damage: The \u201canti-material\u201d property of this weapon deals extra damage to every vehicle and Scorestreak. Due to the sheer number of vehicles and Scorestreaks to choose from in Black Ops Cold War, this damage is displayed in-game as a range (i.e. 1100 \u2013 2200). Generally speaking, the larger a vehicle or Scorestreak is, the more damage this weapon will deal to it. – – Attachments Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 41.9\u201d Extended Barrel attachment from 25% to 10%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 43.9\u201d Combat Recon Barrel attachment from 75% to 20%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 42.7\u201d Sigma Special Barrel attachment from 67% to 16%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from Field Tape Handle attachment from 90% to 50%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from SASR Jungle Grip Handle attachment from 80% to 67%. – Increased Sprint to Fire penalty from SASR Jungle Grip Handle attachment from 12% to 18%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance Bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 90% to 25%. – Increased Sprint to Fire penalty from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 15% to 20%. – Reduced Aim Down Sight Time bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 12% to 5%. – – Swiss K31 – 25% less Flinch than other sniper rifles. – Reduced Bullet Velocity from 700 to 684. – – Attachments Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 24.9\u201d Extended Barrel attachment from 25% to 16%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 24.9\u201d Combat Recon Barrel attachment from 75% to 31%. – Reduced Bullet Velocity bonus from 24.9\u201d Tiger Team Barrel attachment from 50% to 23%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from Field Tape Handle attachment from 90% to 50%. – Reduced Flinch Resistance bonus from SASR Jungle Grip Handle attachment from 80% to 67%. – Reduced Sprint to Fire penalty from SASR Jungle Grip handle attachment from 12% to 11%. – Reduced Aim Down Sight Time bonus from Airborne Elastic Wrap Handle attachment from 12% to 5%. – – Assault Rifle changes in Season 3 Reloaded update As one of the most common weapon types in any Call of Duty, Assault Rifle changes are among the most important. For Black Ops Cold War\u2019s Season 3 Reloaded update, Bullet Velocity is the main focal point of new buffs. In total, seven Assault Rifles have been hit with considerable buffs to their base Bullet Velocity. This means players won\u2019t have to be overly reliant on certain attachments moving forward. The reason for this widespread change is to provide \u201cAssault Rifles more innate long-distance advantage over Submachine Guns,\u201d Treyarch explained. In long-range battles, you should notice Assault Rifles beating out Submachine Guns far more often now. On top of Bullet Velocity tweaks, headshot multipliers have also been changed. Any Assault Rifles with 5.56 ammo have a 1.4x headshot multiplier across the board. Those with 7.62 ammo have a 1.25x multiplier.

The overall goal was to boost \u201cinherent power\u201d of the weapon class without players having to rely on the Task Force Barrel attachment in all situations. \u201cThese changes provide more value to the rest of the Barrel attachments,\u201d Treyarch confirmed. However, Task Force Barrel \u201cremains a solid choice.\u201d Read More: All Warzone Season 3 Reloaded map changes – Breaking down each weapon, Stoner 63, RPD, and M60 have all seen drastic buffs in terms of base Bullet Velocity.

The 1911, Magnum, and Diamatti have all seen an increase to base Bullet Velocity. This was done in hopes of \u201cpushing their hitscan range,\u201d making them more optimal from longer distances. As a final point, the R1 Shadowhunter Crossbow now comes with some added difficulty. Similar to Sniper Rifles, a unique flinch has been applied to the powerful Special Weapon. 1911 Increased Bullet Velocity from 200 to 206. – – Magnum Increased Bullet Velocity from 300 to 313. – – Pistol Charlie \u2013 Diamatti (Burst Fire) Increased Bullet Velocity from 250 to 257. – – R1 Shadowhunter Added Sniper Flinch. – – So there you have it, a complete breakdown of every single change in the Season 3 Reloaded update.
