Call of Duty Black Ops 4: Umfangreiches Update 1.04 überarbeitet die Spielbalance - Patchnotes enthüllt

Die Verantwortlichen von Treyarch haben ein umfangreiches Update für den First-Person-Shooter „Call of Duty: Black Ops 4“ veröffentlicht. Der Patch 1.04 bringt es auf eine Größe von 8.919 Gigabyte und nimmt zahlreiche Änderungen am Spiel vor.

Unter anderem haben die Entwickler den Spielmodus „Gun Game“ integriert. Somit kann man in diesem Waffenspiel mit einer Auswahl unterschiedlicher Waffen jeweils einen Kill machen. Wer als erstes mit allen vorgegebenen Waffen einen Kill macht, gewinnt das Spiel.

Darüber hinaus hat Treyarch die Spielbalance im Multiplayer enorm überarbeitet, sodass zahlreiche Waffen und Spezialisten Anpassungen erhalten haben. Allerdings haben die Entwickler auch einige weitere Anpassungen an Blackout sowie am Zombie-Modus vorgenommen. Alle konkreten Änderungen kann man den englischsprachigen Patchnotes entnehmen.

  • Hardcore TDM / Hardcore Kill Confirmed
    • Player count increased to 6v6.
    • 2 Specialist limit per team.

    • Reduced close-range headshot damage.
    • Damage now falls off sooner.
    • High Caliber: Reduced headshot multiplier, eliminating the possibility of a 3-hit kill.
• Submachine Guns
  • Mobility is the primary strength of SMGs, speeding across the map to engage or disengage quickly. Some of the close-range SMGs were performing quite well, while others struggled to compete with the rest of the category. This week’s balancing pass levels the playing field between SMGs.
  • MX9
    • Extended all damage ranges.
    • High Caliber: Reduced headshot multiplier, eliminating the possibility of a 4-hit kill.

    • Extended all damage ranges.

  • Saug 9mm
    • Dual Wield Operator Mod: Reduced hip-fire accuracy.
• Tactical Rifles
  • We’ve buffed the ABR to be more competitive with the other Tactical Rifles, while stepping down its Operator Mod to keep it from becoming a crutch Attachment. The Swordfish received some Attachment adjustments, as well.
  • ABR 223
    • Extended maximum damage range.
    • Repeater Operator Mod: Now takes longer to accelerate fire rate.
    • Stock: Slight reduction in movement speed bonus.
    • Laser Sight & Laser Sight II: Improved hip-fire accuracy.

    • High Caliber: Reduced headshot multiplier, eliminating the possibility of a 3-hit kill.
    • Penta Burst Operator Mod: Reduced extra granted clip-size.
• Sniper Rifles
  • The other Sniper Rifles needed help to fight King Paladin. We’re giving these rifles reduced idle sway and upping their damage to help finish off wounded targets more consistently.
  • Removed turn sway when aiming down sights on all Sniper Rifles to better ensure the weapon reticle stays centered when turning.
  • Paladin HB50
    • High Caliber II: Hitting the lower torso on a full Tak-5-boosted enemy will no longer be a 1-hit kill.

    • Stabilizer II: Player can now hold breath sooner after the previous hold breath.
  • Outlaw
    • Improved base damage from 110 to 130.
    • Reduced idle sway.
    • Increased base movement speed.
    • Stock: Slight increase in ADS movement speed bonus.
  • SDM
    • Increased clip size from 10 to 12.
    • Reduced idle sway.
  • Koshka
    • Improved Damage from 120 to 140.
    • Stock: Slight increase in ADS movement speed bonus.
• Light Machine Guns
  • Some in the community have discovered that the Titan and VKM 750 are extremely effective weapons! We’re toning them down before everyone jumps on the bandwagon. While they’ll still be scary to face off against, players will now have a more reasonable chance to defend themselves against these LMGs.
  • Titan
    • Reduced headshot damage.
    • Reduced hip-fire accuracy.
    • Stock: Reduced ADS movement speed bonus.
  • VKM 750

  • RK 7 Garrison
    • Slight increase to the time between bursts.
    • Slight reduction to reload speed.
• Shotguns
  • This weapon class is close to where we want it, with only a couple of specific Attachments performing better than intended. Shotguns in Black Ops 4 play a different role than in past Call of Duty titles, and those who have practiced cat-and-mouse gameplay can be highly effective with them.
  • MOG 12
    • Choked Barrel: 1-hit-kill range reduced.
    • Dragon’s Breath Operator Mod: Resolved an issue where the Dragon’s Breath occasionally triggered incorrect visual and sound FX on targets.

    • Reduced ADS recoil.
  • ELO Optic
    • Slightly increased ADS recoil.
• Specialists
  • Ajax
    • We’re providing more strategic options to counteract Ballistic Shield, and to help ensure the Shield isn’t activated too often in the same game.
    • Explosives now apply partial damage to the front of a deployed Ballistic Shield user.
    • Ballistic Shield now takes longer to earn.
  • Nomad
    • We want to encourage Nomad to work more closely with his K9-Unit to maximize effectiveness.
    • Reduced K9-Unit health by 10%.
  • Crash
    • While we’re happy that our Support Specialist is so popular, he was a bit too effective as a Scorestreak farmer.
    • Reduced “Teammate Used Pack” score event from +50 to +25.
  • Firebreak
    • Purifier has been restored to its former glory.
    • Increased Purifier flame damage to be a guaranteed eventual kill against a player who doesn’t have Tactical Mask equipped.
  • Recon
    • Intelligence wins wars, and Recon is living proof. We have intelligence that Recon’s intelligence is too good, so we’re re-classifying some of his sources.
    • Reduced Sensor Dart duration.
    • Resolved an issue where voiceover would incorrectly state that the player’s Sensor Dart was destroyed.
  • Torque
    • Many in the community have embraced Torque with inventive playstyles, though he’s still struggling on a broader scale. We bolstered the effectiveness of his Barricade to ensure he stays relevant in team compositions.
    • Increased earn rate for Barricade.
    • Increased hit points for Barricade.
    • Addressed an issue that prevented TAACOM from telling the player that their Barricade was taking damage.
  • Prophet
    • Prophet’s Tempest needed an upgrade to stand a chance of competing with the rest of the Specialists.
    • Greatly increased Tempest projectile speed.
    • Slightly increased Tempest chain distance.
    • Resolved an issue where being hit by an explosive charge would disable the Tempest charge, preventing further arcing.
• Spawns
  • Team Deathmatch
    • Tuned spawn logic around how enemies impact where the game chooses to respawn the player.
    • Spawn adjustments made for Slums, Summit, Militia, and Firing Range.
  • Domination
    • Spawn adjustments made for Icebreaker, Contraband, Hacienda, Payload, Gridlock, Slums, Summit, Militia, Jungle, and Firing Range.
  • Hardpoint
    • Tuned spawn logic tuning around how the active Hardpoint affects nearby spawns. This should provide more predictable spawns when battling over an active Hardpoint.
    • Additional global spawn adjustments to improve the ability for a player to anchor a location for their team’s respawns relative to an active Hardpoint.
    • Spawn adjustments made for Frequency and Seaside.
  • Free For All
    • Spawn adjustments made for Slums, Summit, Militia, and Firing Range.
  • Control
    • Spawn adjustments made for Slums, Summit, Militia, and Firing Range.
• Gear
  • Stim Shot
    • Increased time to fully heal the player.
  • Armor
    • Resolved an issue where Armor protected from more damage than intended when hitting areas of the body that have damage multipliers, such as the head or upper chest. This primarily affects weapons with chest modifiers, such as Sniper Rifles or weapons with High Caliber II.
  • Acoustic Sensor
    • Reduced the range at which sprinting enemies are detected.
• Perks
  • Dead Silence
    • Reduced player movement volume and distance that players equipped with Dead Silence can be heard by enemies. The intention for Dead Silence is not to be completely silent, but also not to allow enemies to hear your movement from longer distances.
  • Engineer
    • Extraction helicopter in Heist will no longer be highlighted by the Engineer Perk.
• Scorestreaks
  • Mantis
    • Resolved an issue where the Mantis could be destroyed by touching the Out-Of-Bounds area of a map.
  • Dart
    • Increased explosion radius and damage.
    • Players can now use a second Dart when earning two Dart Scorestreaks.

    • Prevented Strike Team kills from contributing towards owner’s kills without dying medals.

  • Resolved an issue where the “Hard Stop” Challenge could reset before reaching 300.
  • Resolved an issue where the “Marksman Mastery” Challenge would not give 10,000 XP upon completion.
  • Resolved an issue where destroying friendly Scorestreaks would award score.
  • Players can no longer crouch or go prone while performing a Gesture.
• Game Modes
  • Increased XP earn rate in Heist.

• Maps
  • Icebreaker
    • Adjusted cover pieces to discourage players from spawn-camping.
    • Added cover to the lower respawn side.
  • Slums
    • Adjusted cover pieces to discourage players from spawn-camping.
  • Miscellaneous
    • Several map fixes to address exploits that allowed players to leave the intended play space.
• Theater
  • Theater files recorded before this update will no longer be viewable due to significant architectural changes to the system. As noted in our previous major update, we will make every effort to keep instances of incompatibility to a minimum.
  • Added a watermark in the HUD that only displays when in Theater mode.
    • Why this change? We often see players posting videos recorded from Theater as a demonstration of “poor hit detection” or other issues that appear to be incorrect. While Theater represents what happened in a match in a general sense, it does not reflect with 100% accuracy all of the details as they were experienced live. Live recorded gameplay footage is the more accurate method for reporting behavior in the game that is not performing as expected. With this change, we can better identify Theater clips when reviewing community videos and therefore filter them out for the more accurate live recorded clips.

  • Resolved issues that caused footsteps to become muffled when they shouldn’t be.
