Call of Duty: WWII Update Nerfs BAR and Populates Headquarters
11/29/2017 03:45 pm EST
A new patch for Call of Duty: WWII has been outlined that includes quite a few multiplayer changes and makes your Headquarters feel a bit more populated.
The patch notes for the latest Call of Duty update were posted on Wednesday by Sledgehammer Games with a notice that some "much-needed changes" helped create the extensive patch notes. Buffs and nerfs to multiplayer weapons were pretty light this time around, but if you use the BAR often, you'll notice a bit more recoil now to slightly decrease the weapon's effectiveness.
Check out the full patch notes below and look for the update on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with PC info coming soon.
HQ STATUS UPDATE: After a bunch of testing, we are beginning to turn on fully populated Headquarters for everyone. As part of our latest patch, players simply select HQ via the MP menu.
