DIVISIONS/BASIC TRAINING/ATTACHMENTS TUNING

Airborne: Buffed “Sprint faster over time”

• Old: 4% faster and increase to 10%
• New: 7% faster and increase to 10%
• Explanation: The Energetic Basic Training is a flat 7% faster, so this change puts Airborne back on the map as the movement Division.

Saboteur Basic Training: Nerfed effectiveness of Satchel and S-Mine when using Saboteur Basic Training

• Old: 0.0 sec fuse for Satchel and 0.1 sec delay for S-Mine detonation
• New: 0.5 sec fuse for Satchel and 0.2 sec delay for S-Mine detonation
• Explanation: We’ve heard your feedback about Saboteur and so we added a small delay before Satchel and S-Mines detonate to reduce strength. We’ve adjusted how Saboteur interacts with the Flanker Basic Training so that it no longer cancels it out and has its own detonation time.

Rifle Grenade Attachment: Buffed explosive min and max damage

• Old: 25 min damage and 120 max damage
• New: 35 min damage and 125 max damage
• Explanation: The Rifle Grenade was relatively weak and wasn’t as useful as we intended it to be, so this buff should make it a more viable option.

Launched Basic Training: Buffed by increasing launcher damage when using Launched Basic Training

• New: Launchers now deal 30% more damage with Launched Basic Training than before
• Explanation: When we rolled out our Divisions Overhaul in April, we nerfed the strength of launchers to ensure that they wouldn’t dominate the play space and would rather be used primarily to take out Scorestreaks. This change makes this Basic Training and the use of launches a better option for a wider variety of playstyles.

Bayonet Charge/Attachment: Added a sprint speed increase while charging

• New: +4% sprint speed
• Explanation: With the addition of unlimited sprint for all, the Bayonet Charge lost its movement advantage, so we added a speed increase while charging that makes it more viable for closing space between you and an enemy.

Tactical Knife Attachment: Buffed by adding a melee speed increase when you have Tactical Knife Attachment equipped

• New: 15% quicker than standard melee speed
• Explanation: Now that Tactical Knife fills an Attachment slot, there is less of a reason to use it over a melee weapon. This small buff makes it more usable.

Shifty Basic Training: Buffed by increasing number of additional Pistol Attachments

• Old: 1 additional pistol attachment
• New: 2 additional pistol attachments
• Explanation: Shifty Basic Training is currently on the low-end of Basic Training usage. This change should make using pistols more viable outside of the Infantry Division.

GAMEBATTLES/CoDCASTER/ESPORTS MODE

• Fixed issue in GameBattles where Restricted Items were displaying in default loadouts
• Fixed issue where when spectating in CoDCaster mode, players with Infantry Division equipped will not appear to have a Division patch in the Division info display

• Fixed functionality and UI issues with post-match lobbies
• Fixed UI issue where notifications where not populating properly
• Fixed issue in The Shadowed Throne where ammo was not able to be replenished for the Ripsaw
• Fixed issue in The Shadowed Throne where players were able to kill to kill the human, as well as the zombie, in vignettes
• Fixed various map exploits on The Shadowed Throne
• Fixed issue where splitscreen players lost functionality when simultaneously pressing Back and Select
• Fixed issues with completing certain quests in The Shadowed Throne
• Fixed UI issue where incorrect rarities were displaying for Supply Drop item cards

ITRA Burst

There was a perceived nerf for the burst delay period (or cool down period) between shots. The time did in fact increase from 135 ms to 145 ms, and here’s why:

There was an existing issue with the ITRA Burst delay that we needed to fix in this most recent title update. The originally intended behavior for this was that a player would shoot once, and then if they pulled the trigger again during the delay period, their second shot would be queued up to fire automatically once the delay period ended. However, the actual behavior experienced was a player would shoot, and then if they pulled the trigger a second time during the delay period, no additional shot was released when the delay period ended.

We rolled a fix for this issue in today’s title update. However, prior to fixing this issue, we measured the average time between players’ shots and found it to be about 145 ms, which was 10 ms longer than the actual delay period. In an effort to fix the issue while also keeping the weapon’s strength consistent with what players were accustomed to before the fix, we simply increased the delay period by 10ms. The overall effective strength of the weapon, therefore, was not changed, but should feel more responsive than it did before the fix.

TL;DR: There was no actual nerf to the weapon, but rather a fix implemented for an issue with trigger responsiveness. The fix created a perceived weapon buff, so we increased the delay period to counterbalance this.

GPMG

Buffed all reload times (add, full, and empty) by decreasing by nearly half, because this weapon’s small magazine was a weakness that we felt was too great, especially when taking into consideration its long reload times.

Kar98k

We slightly nerfed this weapon’s raise time in an effort to more clearly differentiate between the sniper rifles, given the addition of the Lever Action and PTRS 41.

Sniper Rifles

We added Iron Sight Attachments to all sniper rifles and buffed the Iron Sights on the Kar98k to be in line with the Iron Sight Attachments being implemented for the other sniper rifles. The Kar98k buff consisted of removing modifications to recoil and location damage from the Iron Sight Attachment for the weapon.

MG81

We changed the first raise time at the beginning of the match to be in line with an animation change, but this has no effect on gameplay.

Incendiary Shells

As mentioned earlier today in patch notes, we fixed the fire rate issues with the Incendiary Shells. We did this by increasing the rechamber time between firing shells from 400ms to 800 ms. With regards to the ammo values, we did not decrease the ammo amounts. They remain the same as they were with the Divisions Overhaul changes we rolled out in April.
