Black Ops Cold War players begging for nerfs to \u201coverpowered\u201d Flak Jacket perk ActivisionFans of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War have been complaining about Flak Jacket being slightly too OP as it\u2019s giving players a major helping hand, even in Hardcore modes. Since Black Ops Cold War released back in November, there have been a number of updates to address various issues in-game. Weapons have been buffed, and nerfed, perks have been tweaked, and changes have been made to game modes like Search and Destroy to make things a little more balanced. However, Treyarch may have a new problem on their hands. Players have been voicing their concerns about the strength of Flak Jacket, as it\u2019s helping players sponge repeated explosions \u2013 including in Hardcore game modes. Reddit user tf___ flagged the perk as being incredibly strong after a game of Hardcore Nuketown. They had an enemy locked in the corner in the corner of the yellow house and proceeded to fire off a rocket launcher shot, as well as a semtex. Both times, the game registered hits, so they took a second rocket launcher shot. Again, the game showed that a shot had been registered but all three had been stopped by Flak Jacket. That gave the enemy enough time to come out of their hiding hole, gun down the Redditor, and leave them fuming about how they hadn\u2019t gotten a kill. Other players couldn\u2019t quite believe what they\u2019d seen, some blaming the splash damage of the launcher that tf___ had been using, and others criticizing the \u201coverpowered\u201d strength of the classic CoD perk. \u201cFlak jacket should break if you take a certain amount of damage from explosives,\u201d one player suggested \u2013 making it similar to Warzone\u2019s armor plates. \u201cFlack jacket should only resist one close impact launcher shot, but you should die to a direct impact,\u201d suggested another. What makes it even more annoying for players is that, to get Dark Matter ultra, you need to have every weapon \u2013 including launchers \u2013 completed. So you can\u2019t avoid using them. Treyarch have teased changes before, but more may be needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
