Condrey talked about potential weapon buffs and nerfs on Jan. 5<\/a>, and now, a few of those changes will come to fruition. In particular, the FG 42 and Kar98k will receive some of the alterations that were previously discussed.<\/p>
Sledgehammer confirmed<\/a> that the FG 42 has received a recoil buff and a slight fire rate buff, while the Kar98k’s ADS transition time has been nerfed.<\/p>
The Grease Gun and Lee Enfield both received buffs to their ADS transition time\u2014and the Grease Gun also had its recoil adjusted “to give players more control.” The Combat Shotgun’s max damage range was slightly nerfed, although the patch notes<\/a> say it’s “still [an] overall buff to where it was at launch.” Finally, the Sawed-Off Shotgun received a few alterations, such as a max and mid damage range buff, a buff to the number of pellets to kill, a reload time buff, and a hip spread nerf.<\/p>

This update<\/a> also introduced a couple of changes to competitive maps in WWII<\/em>. The defensive start spawns in Sainte Marie du Mont Search and Destroy have been moved, as well as the flag positions on London Docks Capture the Flag.<\/p>
Condrey also talked<\/a> about potentially increasing the health regeneration speed in the future, but he thinks “we’ll see those changes land early next week”\u2014even though Condrey added “I reserve the right to be wrong on that date.”<\/p>
