Treyarch has released a new patch for Call of Duty Black Ops 4 which brings many fixes to the game. Most notable changes in the new patch include 9-Bang nerf and Thresher buff. The update is now live across all platforms.
The patch sets to improve stability in all three game modes Blackout, Zombies and Multiplayer. Coming to Blackout, the 9-Bang and Cluster Grenade have been nerfed big time as their stack size has been reduced to 1 from 2 meaning that players will be able to carry only one of these grenades. 9-Bang has increased charge time and fuse time before it is detonated.
For the multiplayer mode, the Thresher has increased fire rate and projectile speed now. Treyarch has also fixed the exploit which was letting players drop under the map. Sniper’s Nest Killsteak power is also more powerful now with increased fire rate and time it stays active in the match.
