Black Ops Cold War and Warzone recently introduced a new weapon,the CARV.2 tactical rifle.
Available via the weapon’s in-game challenge and the Plastik Prototype store bundle, the burst-fire weapon “stands out in the tactical rifle class with its high bullet velocity output, offering powerful damage, solid recoil control, and a large ammo pool from the start”.
Black Ops Cold War and Warzone Season 3launched with three new weapons (PPSh-41 SMG, Swiss K31 sniper rifle, Ballistic Knife). The AMP63 machine pistol and Baseball Bat melee weapon will be added mid-season too.
Raven creative director Amos Hodge discussed the studio’s approach to weapon balancing in aWarzone interview published to coincide with the launch of Season 3in April.
“With Season 3 you’ll see a shift in the meta away from burst guns, and we’ll get the FFAR – which has been stomping on some of the SMGs lately – back down so the SMGs can shine again,” he told VGC.

Alongside a weapon tuning update last week, Raven said it felt it was “close to a ‘balance homeostasis’ where most options are at the very least viable”.
It said the balance changesintroducedon May 7 were part of its “ongoing efforts to raise TTK or at least the individual skill required to reach extreme ones”.
Raven added: “We ask that you consider these changes not as targeted attacks, but rather as part of a larger initiative to raise the skill ceiling.”
The studio also addressed concerns that it is set to focus exclusively on adjusting Cold War weapons. “In the future, we fully intend on taking a closer look at some of theModern Warfareweapons that have been struggling.”
