Treyarch has confirmed plans to nerf Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Recon perk after a backlash from gamers because the sport’s launch final week.
The Recon 3-perk bonus lets gamers see enemies by way of partitions for a short while after respawn, in addition to add a HUD edge flash when an enemy is outdoors your view, and you allow no loss of life skulls when killing enemies. To activate the Recon bonus, you could equip three Recon perks, for instance Ghost, Engineer, and Vigilance.
It’s the seeing enemies by way of partitions little bit of the Recon perk that has sparked a lot debate throughout the Call of Duty group, with some even calling it a wallhack. Black Ops 6’s aggressive multiplayer is performed out on largely small, shut quarters maps with frequent dying and respawning, and having the ability to see enemies by way of partitions on respawn, nonetheless briefly, gives a major benefit.
This benefit is so vital that Recon’s 3-perk bonus is seen as important to stay aggressive, which suggests perks from the Enforcer and Strategist classes are being left behind. And with the addition of the massively widespread Nuketown map final week the ability of Recon was exacerbated. This is a decent map typically full of chaotic loss of life, so having most gamers operating round with Recon means it’s very troublesome to remain alive for any vital period of time.
Over the weekend, with dissatisfaction at Recon reaching a head, Faze content material creator Swagg referred to as on Treyarch to nerf Recon, and affiliate director Matt Scronce answered the decision with the straightforward: “Incoming.”
