Full Black Ops 7 Day One update patch notes

Aim Assist

• In Black Ops 7, we are increasing the range before full Rotational Aim Assist strength is achieved.
• Additionally, we have slightly increased Rotational Aim Assist strength at very long ranges.
• A new right stick aiming requirement has also been added to Rotational Aim Assist

Movement Updates 

• Adjusted mantling for smoother, faster, and more consistent mantles.
• Addressed an issue where players could dive when moving slower than intended.
• Slightly reduced slide acceleration, speed, and duration.

XP Earn Rates 

• Increased Weapon XP earn rates. 
• Weapons will progress faster than they did in the Beta, and will reach max level roughly 25% faster than they did in Black Ops 6.
• Addressed inconsistent per-item Overclock earn rates to ensure that players earn Overclocks at a fairly consistent rate when using all Lethal, Tactical, Field Upgrade, and Scorestreak types frequently and successfully.
• Increased Daily Challenge Bonus XP reward from 3,000 XP to 5,000 XP.

Challenges 

• Added the ability to Re-Roll one Daily Challenge per day (per mode). 
• The Re-Rolled Challenge will be replaced with a different Challenge, allowing players to replace one Challenge they don’t want to complete each day for a chance at something that better aligns with their playstyle (if desired).
