The second Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 beta weekend is now live on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, giving players another chance to hop into the popular shooter’s multiplayer. Proving that the beta is far more than just a glorified demo, Treyarch has outlined all of the changes made from the extensive tracking and feedback they received last week.
In addition to optimizing and stabilizing the game, Treyarch made a number of changes to gameplay, tuning both Specialists and weapons. Many of the Specialists are receiving buffs, though some overused classes are getting nerfed in order to balance out the usage of each character. Ruin’s Grav Slam cooldown is now longer and Nomad’s dog has seen some reductions to be a little less deadly. Now’s the time to try out some of the other characters who have been given a bit more lethality. Treyarch also wants to see the balance of the game shift more towards gunplay than abilities, so equipment cooldowns have been increased. The dev wants equipment to have more impactful and decisive moments, rather than being the meta through equipment spam. You can get a full look at all of the changes below.
