Weapon Balancing
A hotfix went out today balancing some weapons which we will go into detail below, but first, thank you all for your continued feedback on how the weapons feel in-game and for expressing that in our various community spaces. In addition to the weapon balance changes, the team has made adjustments and changes to the Cybernetic Abilities currently available in Battle Royale through our Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 collaboration. All the details about the various balance changes are below -
Weapons:
Switchblade X9 – Buffed
The Switchblade was nerfed after its performance in the PBT which led to the Switchblade not being able to compete properly with mainstream weapons. As a result, it is being buffed to make it a viable SMG choice.
- Range – Increased
- Spring-to-Fire Delay – Decreased
- Arm Damage Multiplier – Increased
- Extended Mag Capacity - Increased
KSP 45 – Nerfed
Because the KSP has the unique properties of being a burst SMG the team has adjusted some of its properties and attachments to make it a more balanced weapon to face.
- ADS Movement Speed – Reduced
- Range – Reduced
- Light Weight Stock ADS Movement Speed – Reduced
- Taskforce Barrel’s Range – Reduced
- Head Damage Multiplier – Reduced
- Chest Damage Multiplier – Reduced
- Leg Damage Multiplier – Reduced
HVK-30 – Buffed
The previous adjustments the team made didn’t have the full effect that they had wanted. This new buff is intended to make the weapon behave more aligned with that expectation of the weapon becoming a mainstream option.
- Ammo Capacity – Increased
- Ranged – Increased
- Large Caliber Mag’s Range - Increased
M4 – Buffed (MP Only)
The M4 has a lot of similarities in stats as the Kilo except significantly weaker in some areas. This buff is intended to make it a more viable AR option. Because of the significance of this buff, it is limited to MP only for now.
- Range – Increased
- ADS Time – Reduced
Cybernetic Abilities:
Smart Shotgun – Buffed
The team was concerned that because of the tracking abilities of the Smart Shotgun it would quickly become an OP option, so they chose to be conservative with its weapon design. This, unfortunately, led to it feeling underpowered in combat and not all that fun to competitively use. This buff hopes to make the ability more viable in a variety of combat scenarios.
- Tracking Calculation Time – Reduced
- Initial Bullet Speed – Increased
- Acceleration – Increased
- Maximum Speed – Increased
- Tracking Strength – Increased
Bee Scout – Adjusted
Bee Scout quick adjustment should allow for players to use the ability more often and more effectively.
- Duration - Reduced
Virtual Vision – Nerfed
The team felt Virtual Vision was overpowered so the usage of the ability has been adjusted.
-
Cooldown Time – Increased
New Battle Royale Area – Center Room
If you have been playing the Themed Event – Toguna’s Survey – this season, then you know new intel has been discovered about the post-humans in the past couple of days. With your help, Togusa and the rest of Section 9 have found the control room for the post-humans located in New Vision City. The Center Room will be heavily guarded so make sure and prepare before trying to break in. Once inside the room help Motoko fend off the waves of post-humans coming to reclaim the room. The more enemies that are eliminated the more rewards you will receive!
Seasonal Challenges
ARea Control
The third Seasonal Challenge of Season 7 will be launching on 8/18 UTC. This Challenge is how you can earn the ASM10 Signature Attachment – Branson. And no, that isn’t a mistake in the spelling of “area” but a clue to what this challenge is all about…ARs. To complete this challenge players will be eliminating enemies in MP, using Assault Rifles, and lastly using the ASM10. Completing this challenge will earn you 14,000 Battle Pass XP as well as the following -
· Sticker – Death’s Grasp (Rare)
· ASM10 – Silver Bamboo (Rare)
· ASM10 Signature Attachment - Branson
Shadow of the Blade Draw
You may have seen Hidora Kai – Shogun in our Seasonal Trailer or general artwork previously this season, well now they are finally in-game! Hidora Kai is a community favorite operator and one of our personal favorite villains in CODM. This time, in the Shadow of the Blade Draw, Hidora Kai is paired with the ASM10 – Red Shadow. The ASM10 – Red Shadow burns red with shadowy whisps continuously emanating from the weapon, and when you eliminate an enemy using it their fall is marked with a brushstroke death effect. The weapon also comes with the ASM-10’s new signature attachment – Branson (which can also be earned in the Seasonal Challenge ARea Control). Hidora Kai also is equipped with a PKM, Crossbow, Katana (which he uses epically in the Draw trailer below), and more! To see these items in action check them out in-game or in our Draw trailer below!

Bugs:
Invisible Operators – at the beginning of the season we were seeing a high volume of reports of players getting to the last circle in Battle Royale with no other visible enemies in sight, then dying and getting second place. This should have been fixed last week, but if you are still experiencing this, please let us know.
Login Issues – a couple of days ago there was an issue with players logging into the game, specifically using ATVI as their logins. This issue should be fixed now.
Vaulting Issues – near the beginning of the season reports of players shooting high into the sky after vaulting some objects in BR and MP. This issue should now be resolved.
Rewind Class – we’ve seen reports of players being unable to use the Rewind Class in BR or it not working properly. The team is aware of this issue.
Stealth Perk – players have reported that the Stealth Passive perk for the Stealth category classes in BR does not work properly. We are checking in if this was indeed a bug or intended. Either way, the team is aware of this issue/feedback.
Reviving Pausing in BR – there have been many reports of this issue because of the sometimes-comical area the revive process gets paused for players. The team is investigating this issue.
Missing Elements in Battle Royale – since Season 7 we’ve noticed reports of players reporting missing UI in BR including missing, Mute/Unmute buttons, Teammates Status, Dog tags, and some others. This issue should have been fixed earlier this week.
Glitched Areas in Battle Royale – there have been reports of invisible walls in BR and glitched rooftops in the New Vision City area specifically. The team is aware of this and investigating.
Zoom Issues - we’ve seen that sometimes when using the 3X scope in BR will sometimes cause the weapon to revert to Iron Sights. The team is aware of this issue and investigating.
Tactical Equipment – there have been reports that some tactical equipment is missing the audio for their respective effects. The team is aware and investigating.
