Recently, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 introduced armor repair for the Blackout mode. However, some aspects of the feature faced criticism from fans. With the latest update, Treyarch is making adjustments. Here are the changes now.
The armor in Blackout mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has always been a major point of contention within the community. This has not changed even after the introduction of armor repair in Blackout. The developers have been diligently collecting feedback from fans and have now accordingly revised the feature.
Changes to Armor Repair in Blackout – What You Need to Know
How does armor repair work? In Blackout, since update 1.09, you can find armor plates. These are a type of resource with which you can repair your armor during a match.
The plates are distributed like other items in the game world or can be looted from dead enemies. You collect them in your inventory. When you use them, it upgrades your armor by 100 points within two seconds – effectively like a health pack for armor.
What was the problem with armor repair? Numerous fans felt that the time required for repairs was too short. In team play, teams could heal far too often and too quickly.
The durability of the various armor levels was also a major concern for many. Level III armor, being the strongest armor class, was still considered too strong by many. Additionally, fans felt that too many plates could be carried in inventory.
What has changed with armor repair: Treyarch addressed these points of criticism:
- The durability of Level 2 and Level 3 armors has been reduced to the level of Level 1 armor. All armors now have the same durability.
- Armor plates can now be stacked in the inventory up to a maximum of 5. Previously, you could stack 10.
- The time to use a plate has been increased from 2 to 3 seconds.
- The damage of the Paladin (Sniper) against armor has been slightly increased. This reduces the number of shots needed to eliminate an opponent with Level 3 armor.
With these changes, players should now be able to destroy enemy armor more often. Armor can no longer be repaired as quickly and frequently.
The usage of armor now takes one second longer. That may not sound like much at first, but in a heated battle, that one second is often crucial. The effectiveness of the various armor levels should now be better balanced.
The developers will also closely monitor the latest changes and make further adjustments if necessary.
What do you think of these adjustments? Is the eternal armor problem in Blackout now resolved? Or do you think further changes are needed?
