Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has received an update that brings a number of stability improvements, weapon and scorestreak tweaks, and more, but reverts the recent MP5 nerf.

Note that the MP5 nerf was reverted unintentionally and will return in an upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update. Until then, however, you might as well join the OP fun. 

FFAR1, M16 and snipers have all received slight nerfs, while the likes of M60 and Magnum received buffs. Most Scorestreaks have had their costs increased, while the rest of the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update is reserved for various fixes and stability fixes. 

You can check out the weapons changes below, or visit Treyarch's website for full patch notes .

      • Added more character to initial recoil by tweaking several bullet trajectories. (While this doesn’t affect the vertical/horizontal control stats in Gunsmith, this change makes it more difficult to stay on target by adjusting the trajectories of several bullets in the initial firing experience.)

    • The effective Sprint to Fire time is notably shorter than what is displayed in Gunsmith. We have plans to address the Gunsmith readout in a future update.
