Call Of Duty: Vanguard Patch Notes Include Weapon Balancing And Arms Race Improvements

gamespot.com:

A new update has arrived for Call of Duty: Vanguard in Season 2 Reloaded, and the March 31 patch notes detail quite a bit of weapon balancing for multiplayer and updates to the new Arms Race mode.

According to Sledgehammer Games' patch notes, the developer has addressed a few issues with Season 2 Reloaded's large-scale Arms Race mode. The update fixes an exploit that previously allowed players to become invulnerable after dying to fall damage, and it addresses a bug that caused Buy Station purchases to not subtract from a player's cash balance. Additionally, players should no longer experience having an invisible weapon when the «Bioluminescence» or «Steamer» blueprints are equipped.

The update also includes a bit of weapon balancing for Vanguard's multiplayer. The Cooper Carbine assault rifle gets a few attachment buffs with 8" Ragdoll Short and 18" Ragdoll G45 barrels both getting a decrease to recoil while firing. The popular 22" Cooper Custom barrel attachment is now nerfed with an increase to the ADS time.

For Vanguard's light machine guns, The Type 11 now has decreased recoil while firing, while the popular Bren light machine gun is nerfed a bit with an increase to both sprint-out time and hip-fire spread. Season 2's Whitley light machine has also been powerful in multiplayer, but the patch notes reveal a massive 32% decreased damage bonus to the gun's .50 BMG 150 Round Boxes magazine attachment.
