The first Cold War Season 3 patch brings several balance changes and a free access week for Cold War multiplayer and the Outbreak mode!<\/p>\n
It hasn’t even been a full day since the start of Season 3 and Treyarch has already released the first batch of updates for the game.<\/p>\n
The 23rd April update for Black Ops Cold War brings small adjustments to the AK-74u, Patrol Grip Underbarrel, and Speedgrip Underbarrel.<\/p>\n
According to Treyarch, these changes have a goal “to ensure that SMGs remain faster to sprint with than assault rifles by default”.<\/p>\n
The AK-74u now has increased base sprint speed, shooting move speed, and reload sprint speed, but Patrol Grip Underbarrel now has a slightly reduced sprint speed bonus for SMGs, and the same goes for Speedgrip Underbarrel and Assault Rifles, Tactical Rifles, and Sniper Rifles.<\/p>\n

Asides from these changes, today’s patch brings back 2XP + 2WXP Weekend (23-26 April) and free access to both multiplayer and Zombies Outbreak mode.<\/p>\n
