- Wingsuit Controls
- Adjustments are planned for Season 03 to improve wingsuit behavior on mouse and keyboard, allowing forward input to function more similarly to maintaining a level stick position on controller.
We’ve definitely seen the concerns regarding Wingsuit controls on Mouse & Keyboard. As of right now, pressing forward on keyboard immediately applies maximum input, which can reduce overall travel distance. On controller, analog sticks allow for more gradual input, enabling players to maintain speed more effectively. As a temporary workaround, we recommend feathering the W key with short taps rather than holding it continuously. Also, after jumping, allow your velocity to build before applying forward input. Maintaining higher altitude will also increase overall travel distance.
- Redeploy Towers
- Increased the radius at which players are able to hear Redeploy Towers.
EQUIPMENT
» All Modes «
- Point Turret
- Reduced health from 60 to 45.
- Stim Shot
- Reduced movement speed bonus from 8% to 6%.
- Increased duration from 3 seconds to 4 seconds.
With the addition of several movement-based Perks, we are adjusting Stim Shot to better align with overall movement speeds. This change opens up more room for build diversity and experimentation.
- Concussion Grenade
- Increased maximum stun duration from 1.15 seconds to 1.2 seconds.
PERKS
» Resurgence «
- Reactive Armor
- Removed EMP effect.
With the removal of Cold-Blooded, the EMP effect no longer had a clear counter. The regenerative aspect remains the core identity of this Perk, and we believe it stands strong on its own. The EMP effect could also feel oppressive and difficult to predict, so it has been removed.
KILLSTREAKS
» Black Ops Royale «
- Death Machine
- Now deals between 2% to 5% vehicle health damage per bullet, depending on vehicle armor class.
» Resurgence «
- Smoke Screen
- Now deploys in a line parallel to the player’s facing direction.
- Initial impact now occurs at the targeted location, then continues forward for a total of 5 impacts.
- Reduced deployment delay from 5.25 seconds to 2.5 seconds.
Smoke Screen has been updated to provide faster and more consistent deployment. Previously, the timings made it difficult to reliably create cover exactly where and when it was needed. This change should make it feel more dependable during engagements.
