COD WW2 patch notes for the server-side update for weapon tuning is here!

The big Call of Duty: WWII weapon tuning update where the ADS (aim down sights) sprint out time buff and more are now live! This was announced by Sledgehammer Games over on Reddit, where it also announced that a triple double XP weekend is also active right now. Triple double XP refers to 2XP for standard XP, 2x Division XP, and 2x Weapon XP, and this will be live until 10 a.m. PT, Monday.

Weapon Tuning and ADS Changes for Today Now Live! from WWII

For those curious what the COD: WWII weapon changes made are, check out the notes below. Note that the update is done via a server-side hotfix, so there’s no file to download.

ADS TRANSITION TIMES/ADS FROM SPRINT TIMES/ADS SPRINT OUT TIMES:

SMGs

• Buffed base ADS times and buffed ADS in from sprint times (ADS sprint out times match ADS from sprint times)

Rifles

• Buffed base ADS transition times, but not ADS from sprint times/ADS sprint out times, in an effort to maintain a difference between the SMG and AR class playstyles

Snipers: Kar98k and M1903

• Nerfed ADS transition times (a slight quickscoping nerf)

LMGs

• Buffed base ADS times

Note: Base ADS times for SMGs are faster than Rifles, and Rifles are faster than LMGs. In other words, there is now more of a distinction between class playstyles.

WEAPONS:

MP-40

• Buffed recoil in an effort to have a more competitive SMG on par with the PPSh-41

FG 42

• Nerfed fire rate so that the damage output is more in line with other weapons in its class

SVT-40

• Buffed recoil in an effort to make it more manageable to shoot down range and give a better contrast to the M1 Garand
• Nerfed hip spread to match the M1 Garand’s in an effort to decrease the ability to quickly kill opponents at closer ranges

M1A1

• Buffed fire rate in an effort to make it a more competitive choice amongst the other rifles (still slightly slower than the Gewehr 43)

Gewehr 43

• Buffed fire rate in an effort to make it a more competitive choice amongst the other rifles (still slightly faster than M1A1)
• Buffed recoil (closer to that of M1A1)
• Buffed clip size to be 12 rounds per clip instead of 10

M30 Luftwaffe Drilling

• Buffed damage per pellet to be on par with the recent Sawed-Off Shotgun changes so that this shotgun now has a more automatic 2-shot kill and a slightly more forgiving one-shot kill
• Buffed shotgun damage range, so that it’s now more feasible to finish off an opponent who didn’t die from a rifle bullet
• Buffed ADS spread to allow for greater accuracy when shooting enemies that are outside of the obvious shotgun range (while ADS)

Toggle Action

• Buffed clip size to be 8 shots per clip instead of 6 in an effort to allow players to have more success with this weapon
• Nerfed ADS spread to be on par with other shotguns (besides the M30)

For those who’ve tested the new changes, what are your thoughts so far? Good? Should it go back to the way it was? Is the MP-40 too good now? Let us know what you think in the comments.
