Call of Duty Vanguard\u2019s bloom rework should make hitting shots way easier ActivisionAfter weeks of complaints, Call of Duty: Vanguard\u2019s devs seem to have entirely reworked the controversial \u201cbloom\u201d mechanic. YouTuber XclusiveAce showed just how drastic the new buffed accuracy makes the game\u2019s guns. To put it simply, bullet bloom describes the area in which your gunfire spreads. Instead of every shot landing where your crosshair is placed, bloom makes bullets disperse \u2014 either narrowly or widely, depending on the weapon. The mechanic exists in games like Overwatch, where Soldier 76 players shoot in bursts to maximize accuracy by minimizing the increase in bloom (or bullet spread) the longer you fire. But it\u2019s relatively new to Call of Duty with Vanguard and\u2026 players were not fans of the addition. Now, complaint upon complaint, Sledgehammer Games have nerfed bloom\u2019s impact \u2014 thereby buffing a number of guns\u2019 accuracy. In essence, the November 18 patch is going to make killing the bad guys a lot easier. Call of Duty Vanguard bloom fix makes guns way more accurate As you can see in the screenshot of XclusiveAce\u2019s video, the spread of fire for a number of guns has been vastly reduced. This should mean those weapons are much more accurate and players are less likely to run into issues where they\u2019re failing to get hitmarkers they expected to. In Ace\u2019s full video, he explains that literally every single gun that he tested seemed to have its bloom decreased significantly. Describing bloom as \u201crandom inaccuracy with your gun,\u201d it should be clear why minimizing that bloom should delight players. New Vanguard gun bloom for all weapons after November 18 patch For those who don\u2019t want to watch Ace\u2019s full video, he does share some guns that should clearly be buffed by this bloom change. The two principal assault rifles impacted are the AS44 and Volk, with both going from having \u201cterrible\u201d spreads to ones that feel much more like the pre-buff STG 44. On the submachine gun side, guns like the MP40 and Sten received considerable buffs to their accuracy as well. In total, though, Ace estimated that the overall reduction in bloom \u2014 across all weapons \u2014 is about 60%. This is a massive change to weapon accuracy and should make it much easier for players to land shots, especially with guns that have easy recoil control and high bullet velocity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
