Overview
- ADS while sliding and diving is now a default mechanic, with Dexterity becoming an optional perk for added speed and fluidity.
- Slide speed and travel distance are reduced, mantling is being standardized and sped up across the board, and footstep audio is slightly louder.
- Treyarch is tightening rotational aim assist so it engages only when the right stick moves toward a target, while evaluating overall strength at different ranges.
- Perks are being redistributed to ease slot-one congestion, with examples including Tac Mask moving to slot 2, Tac Sprinter to slot 1, and Cold-Blooded to slot 3.
- New combined perks such as Shadow+Engineer and Bruiser+Close Shave expand viable builds, as Activision reiterates no Carry Forward and minimal SBMM ahead of the November 14 release.
