New Weapons are also expected to come in this Season 3 patch, featuring an automatic machine pistol and melee weapon. The AMP63: Pistol is reported to be a self-reloading pistol and fully automated SMG, which deals a high amount of damage in a short period of time, especially on close-quarters combat. The Baseball Bat melee weapon, on the other hand, is briefly teased as a mission-specific reward for players.

Sniper Customization Revealed

It has been months now since gamers first petitioned the "sniper specific flinch." This is when a player takes aim and shoots, but their weapon would not move with a recoil. Because of this, snipers have been labeled as overpowered in "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War."

Comicbook noted that the sniper-specific flinch has now been added to the game. The flinch is also emphasized in aim-down sites (ADS), where gravity is supposed to take effect. Although sniper gamers will probably find it harder to shoot in these coming weeks, Activision works hard and listening to their fan's feedback.

The "Call of Duty: Cold War" Season 3 Reloaded Update is expected to make its updates and fully launch on May 20.
