Treyarch Details Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Changes After Beta, From ADS-While-Moving to Aim-Assist Tuning

The studio moves on beta data to narrow controller–mouse disparities before the game ships November 14.

Overview

  • ADS while sliding, diving, and wall jumping becomes the default, with Dexterity now enhancing speed rather than enabling the action.
  • Slide speed and distance are slightly reduced and mantling is sped up and standardized to keep engagements feeling fluid without overreliance on sliding.
  • Footstep volume is increased in multiplayer to improve audibility and support stealth play without making Ninja feel mandatory.
  • Perk balance is reworked with slot redistribution and new combos, including moves like Tac Mask to Slot 2 and merges such as Shadow+Engineer and Bruiser+Close Shave.
  • Treyarch is tightening aim assist across ranges and changing rotational assist to require stick movement toward a target, with Raven exploring similar controller adjustments for Warzone Season 01.
