Treyarch have been throwing patches for Black Ops 4 out at a truly impressive rate, bringing changes both big and small at regular intervals. One of the biggest for Blackout mode came last week, as they completely overhauled the armour system in the game mode. Instead of being a basic perishable, they added the ability to repair and maintain armour with the aim of making more active styles of play that could incur damage more viable in the final moments.
What they found was that they made armour just a bit too durable through this, and so as the 1.10 patch rolls out for PC, they’ve made adjustments to bring that back in check on all platforms, as follows:
- Level 2 and Level 3 Armor durability has been reduced to match Level 1 Armor durability.
- Reduced the maximum amount of Armor Plates that can be stacked from 10 Armor Plates to 5.
- Increased time required to use an Armor Plate from 2 seconds to 3.
- Slightly increased Paladin damage against Armor to reduce the number of shots needed to take down enemies wearing Level 3 Armor.
Further to that, weapon camos earnt in other game modes can now be applied to weapons in Blackout, so if having a ridiculous looking gun if your thing, you can do that.
Here’s what new:
