Black Ops Cold War Season 3 Reloaded’s patch notes dropped ahead of the update itself, giving players a preview of what changes will hit the game’s live servers Wednesday night. The patch notes include a rundown of all the changes coming to the game, including how weapons will be adjusted.

In the update, Treyarch made changes to all the sniper rifles, assault rifles, light machine guns and pistols in Warzone.

Snipers have a new flinch effect, and each rifle in the category has its own ADS momentum.

If the player is aiming down their sniper sights when they’re hit by a shot, they’ll experience a more pronounced flinch than on other weapons. Meanwhile, rapidly exiting and re-entering ADS will now feel slower and weightier with sniper rifles.

The sniper changes were made to create “more meaningful gameplay between sniper rifles and other weapon classes,” and to “better define the role of each sniper rifle,” per Treyarch.

Here are the changes for each sniper, plus Treyarch’s reasoning for the adjustments:

LW3 – Tundra

This is the baseline of our sniper rifles. It is lenient enough in its one-hit kill capacity while being fast enough to scan the horizon and find new targets quickly. This weapon is meant to be geared for most players to play with and have fun experiencing what it’s like to be a sniper in Black Ops Cold War. The following changes better define the weapon’s role, providing more long-range accuracy and focusing less on short-range combat viability.

Pellington 703

The Pelington 703 is designed to be a quick-handling sniper rifle for players who enjoy constant movement and repositioning, trading off some one-hit kill potential for more speed. This weapon is geared for the kind of player who enjoys running into the middle of gun battles and advancing on important positions. The following changes reinforce the weapon’s role, shifting some ADS speed into a Sprint to Fire benefit, and using a slightly slower Bullet Velocity to keep gameplay at closer ranges.

Sniper Rifle Charlie (Semi-Auto)

With the recent release of the ZRG 20mm and the popularity of the LW3 – Tundra, there existed an untapped space between those two weapons. To fill that position, our semi-auto sniper rifle has been given some new upgrades. Leaning into the lethality of a .50 Cal round, the weapon is now much more powerful, with the trade-off of being slower to fire successive shots. As a semi-automatic weapon without any rechamber, it is still quite fast and works well for holding down a position.

ZRG 20mm

This is the most lethal sniper rifle in Black Ops Cold War, and it ravages vehicles and Scorestreaks. This power comes at a price, as this weapon is slower with less available ammo. Players who prioritize map knowledge, common enemy movements, and destroying enemy Scorestreaks will excel with the ZRG 20mm. Strategy over tactics. To that end, this weapon must be slower to wield compared to the rest of the sniper rifle class.

Swiss K31

With its low recoil, fast rechamber, and speedy handling, this weapon is ideal for quickly eliminating multiple enemy targets. Players with an eagle eye and nerves of steel will be able to down more enemies with this weapon than with any other sniper rifle. For those who aren’t as skilled at nailing their headshots every time, the Swiss K31 can perform much like a tactical rifle. The changes made here further index on this skill aspect, with the benefit of less sniper flinch.

Assault rifles have had their bullet velocities kicked up across the board, giving them more range over SMGs. The only exception is the FFAR 1, which traded some bullet velocity for an increase to its max damage.

Headshot modifiers have also been standardized among ammo types. Rifles that use 5.56 ammo will receive a 1.4x headshot modifier, and 7.62 ammo will receive a 1.25x modifier.

LMGs also received bullet velocity changes that make barrel attachments more valuable, while slightly de-emphasizing the importance of the Task Force Barrel attachment.

Pistols had their bullet velocity increased, upping the range at which they function like hitscan weapons slightly.
