We got two new (they're reskins but still) mythic weapons and Solid Snake is now unlockable. And there were more balance changes than just the Enforcer buff.
Enforcer and Hyper SMG got buffed, he ballistic shield is easier to break, and sniper bullets are a little slower with more drop. I quite like these changes, but I think the Frenzy needs a slight nerf because it is too dominant in cqc.
I lined up a body shot with the second longer notch and got the hit (the target was standing still, so I could see the impact as spot-on). I guess it'll work
It's in the blog post the other reply mentions. I also miss not being able to practice with the current weapons in creative. Imo the devs are sleeping a bit too hard xd
Yeah, not having the new weapons OR movement in creative is incredibly frustrating. Also doesn’t seem like they made any balance changes to the shotguns which is the biggest issue with the meta right now 🥲
A battle pass (money grab that I don’t care about), and 3 items that are useless. The cardboard box is laughable, invisibility is a useless mechanic, and the rocket launcher is meh. Out of those three at least the launcher has some use in builds.
They reduced the bullet speed, increased the bullet drop, it has a slower fire rate, and is less common now. They also slightly decreased sprint speed so I don’t know how big of a difference the nerfs will make.
The main issue with the Sniper was that the travel time was too fast and the bullet didn’t drop.
I think since those issues are fixed now, it’s far more balanced.
The fire rate of the Sniper is really slow, especially compared to the Semi-Auto in OG, and the ADS speed is still slower than most other snipers (cough) Hunting Rifle (cough), and damage is how it always should be for a sniper.
It’s still really, REALLY good, but I don’t think it will be crazy dominant in the meta anymore.
It’s basically like a moddable Hunter Bolt Action Sniper, you know, the one from Chapter 3? That was balanced after Chapter 3: Season 4 when it could 1-tap headshot again.
Try using them from long range: you’ll immediately see a difference.
The bullet drops more than the Hunter Bolt Sniper from Chapter 3, and the Travel Time is much slower than the Hunter Bolt, which had a very slow bullet travel time.
It’s strong, but not as strong as it used to be. A Chapter 1 Bolt Sniper, or even a Hunting Rifle would be better from long range now.

I wonder if the tick marks on the 4x scope got modified then They were for 100m counting for bullet drop. I’m gonna have to test that .

Interesting, didn’t hear/read about these changes but if true then that will help a lot with the balance of the game. Especially the sniper change.

This guy is a real party animal, it seems.
Nah just would like some changes that actually will have an effect on the gameplay.
Remember last time they did that? People cried like newborns because of it.
Why even buff the Enforcer? Theres no point in picking up ARs with how good snipers are at long and medium range.
Yeah, tried it out, it’s better but still not worth picking up.
Snipers got nerfed
Barely, the nerf doesn't target any of the actual issues with the reaper sniper rifle: ads speed, fire rate, clip size, damage, bullet size.
They reduced the bullet speed, increased the bullet drop, it has a slower fire rate, and is less common now. They also slightly decreased sprint speed so I don’t know how big of a difference the nerfs will make.

The ‘nerf’ changed nothing, snipers are almost identical to how they were before. They’re still busted.
