Warzone test reveals MAC-10 Blueprint is stronger than base weapon ActivisionCertain weapon Blueprints have been determined more powerful than their default counterparts in Warzone, including one for the MAC-10, according to new tests following the January 6 update. Weapon Blueprints are supposed to provide options to Warzone players. From visual flair to unique attachment setups, their purpose is to simply stand out out from the base version of particular guns. However, recent tests have revealed key differences between standard guns and their various Blueprints. Rather than simply changing the appearance, Blueprints have been found to alter performance. Black Ops Cold War\u2019s MAC-10 is one particular weapon in focus. Following a set of January 6 nerfs, it appears as though the Blueprints for this SMG are still as powerful as they were before. The time has come. \ud83d\udcc4#Warzone update going live: \u2013 DMR 14 \u2013 Reduced headshot damage, increased recoil \u2013 Type 63 \u2013 Reduced headshot damage, increased recoil \u2013 Mac-10 \u2013 Decreased headshot multiplier \u2013 Dual pistols \u2013 Increased hip fire spread, decreased damage range\u2014 Raven Software (@RavenSoftware) January 6, 2021 Reducing the headshot multiplier effect for the MAC-10 was the intention of the latest patch. Having dominated the meta for most of Season One, this was a way to scale the gun back slightly. Unfortunately, these adjustments only seem to have applied to the default gun. While testing the Gallantry Blueprint for the MAC-10 without any attachments, Warzone YouTuber \u2018JGOD\u2019 noticed some differences. First up, damage hasn\u2019t been scaled down whatsoever. From a relatively close range, this version of the gun still deals 40 damage for a shot to the head. \u201cThis isn\u2019t working as intended,\u201d he stressed. The recent patch brought the base version of the gun down to 30 damage per headshot. What might be a simple oversight from the developers could have drastic implications on Warzone. Until a new hotfix is deployed, players will still essentially be able to use the pre-nerf version of the MAC-10. Alongside this damage discrepancy, JGOD also noticed two other key factors. Recoil was considerably easier to control with the Blueprint version of the SMG. Rather than an \u2018S-type\u2019 recoil pattern from the standard gun, the Gallantry version comes with a simpler pattern that tracks up and to the right. Moreover, the hipfire crosshair is slightly more honed in with the Blueprint weapon as well. Again, this is without any attachments equipped. With all of these differences added up, it\u2019s undeniable that there are real performance differences.

Various Blueprints could be outright stronger than their default options until a new patch is deployed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
