Black Ops 4: Treyarch reverse Maddox nerf following pro player feedback \u2013 February 20 patch notes Treyarch have hotfixed a nerf that was applied to Black Ops 4\u2018s Maddox on February 19. The move comes after the community and pro players pointed out that the changes had ruined the weapon\u2019s viability in competitive play. Many buffs and nerfs were applied to some of Black Ops 4\u2019s more popular weapons as part of the Operation Grand Heist update. However, it didn\u2019t take long for players to realise that the adjustments to the Maddox RFB had made the gun unusable. Now, Treyarch have confirmed that they are changing the weapon again with a hotfix that has been announced just 24 hours after the initial update. The Maddox was the target of heavy nerfs that included a reduced recoil stability for the first five shots, decreased ADS movement across the board, and more.

Treyarch posted the following statement on Reddit: \u201cEffective immediately with today\u2019s update on consoles, we\u2019ve reworked the Maddox\u2019s first five shots in its recoil pattern. \u201cThis will make the 1st, 4th, and 5th shots feel more like the original recoil prior to this week\u2019s update, while the recoil on the 2nd and 3rd shots are increased slightly from their original value, yet remain controllable.\u201d The company acknowledged that after the initial nerfs, the Maddox was actually more in line with the rest of the weapons in its class. However, due to the surge of protests in regards to the gun\u2019s recoil, the changes had to be taken back. The update will be coming to PC on February 21 along with \u201ca long list of PC-exclusive weapon tuning changes.\u201d Check out the full patch notes below.
