Treyarch tease sniper buff in next Black Ops Cold War update TreyarchTreyarch developer Tony Flame has teased sniping fans with a potential buff for the M82 in Black Ops Cold War\u2019s next balancing update. Sniping in Black Ops Cold War has, despite the game being just a week or so old, already become a slightly contentious topic in the community. It seems that Treyarch have sought to mitigate snipers\u2019 slow ADS speeds by upping aim assist. However, this has led to players simultaneously calling for them to be buffed and nerfed. In the first major Black Ops Cold War update, from November 20, Treyarch nerfed snipers\u2019 movement speeds and ADS times slightly. There were also major nerfs for the M16, AUG and FFAR 1. While Treyarch have so far been tight-lipped about the future of the Pellington and LW3 Tundra \u2013 the game\u2019s two bolt-action sniper rifles \u2013 they have hinted that the M82, a semi-automatic sniper rifle in the vein of the series\u2019 Barrett 50. Cal, will be buffed in a future update. On November 21, Tony Flame tweeted Treyarch\u2019s \u201cNext order of business.\u201d Attached to the caption was an image of the M82, and then an image of a car buffer. Many took this as confirmation of a future buff for the M82, which has started life as the weakest of three fairly average sniper rifles. Compared to past years, the ADS and one hit areas of BOCW\u2019s snipers are all far slower and smaller. Naturally, the replies dissolved into discussions about snipers\u2019 place in Black Ops Cold War\u2019s early meta. One player commented that \u201csnipers are overpowered already\u201d, while another argued: \u201cSnipers need an ADS speed buff, you realize the only players complaining about snipers are bad players?\u201d It seems that Treyarch already have a difficult task of pleasing everybody when it comes to Black Ops Cold War\u2019s snipers, but, with all the data and statistics behind their decisions, it\u2019s safe to assume they wouldn\u2019t make changes they didn\u2019t think were necessary for the game\u2019s fairness. We\u2019ll bring you the full changes to the M82 when the specifications of the buff are clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
