CoD:WW Bolt Action Patch Changes

[JoMaMaz]

Many CoD:WW fans have been grumbling and wondering what exactly was changed with the bolt action rifles in the 1.2 patch. Well, we finally have an answer straight from JD_2020 himself.

Straight from the team: the damage multipliers for upper-body shots were increased.

Details beyond that are not going to be posted, because they are not necessary. At the end of the day, if they still don't feel right, report your feedback as always. If they feel fine, then be happy.

I am considering this topic closed.

I am glad this has finally been cleared up. I myself use bolt action rifles most of the time in every fps I play, including CoD:WW, and I didn't notice a whole lot of a difference after the patch. Other people were killing me a tad easier than usual with bolt action rifles, but I also had not played for a while, so I attributed it to rust. We're not sure exactly how much strength was added, but maybe some modders out there can figure it out for us.

Thanks to JerseyBricklayer of our forums for the news!

I wouldn't call it pointless. A lot of people were wondering what the change was and as was pointed out in another thread here, he kept saying "we didn't need to know." So it was like of a wtf type of deal, so the clarification, as simple as it seems, was needed.

Re: CoD:WW Bolt Action Patch Changes

RGN guys have taken time to check the differences between v1.0, v1.1 and v1.2 for rifles, lochit_dmgtable and other files... nothing suggests any kind of change for increasing upperbody damage hits... it was even forgotten and might be in 1.3 or is just a placebo - but don't know why they'd do that :/

The only reason there was such an uproar was because no one found any changes...

Re: CoD:WW Bolt Action Patch Changes

To be honest I havn't noticed any difference at all, any comparison that I have looked at there has been no difference, seems they are trying to trick their community :o
