As part of the recent 3.2 update, we reduced the ADS time for Drum and Extended Magazines. We are reverting this change in this update.

Their feedback on changing these attachments indicated slower reload times or less total ammo due to the reduced clip count. These are very important areas to look at, but we don’t think these two would compensate for the larger increase in combat time that these attachments will give you.

With a shorter magazine, you’ll have to choose your fights as you switch into and out of combat against multiple enemies, prioritizing targets based on awareness or proximity. For larger magazines such. For example, with Drum and Extended Magazines, that overhead goes away because you have the luxury of reloading less and having more ammo available.

It’s very important for us to respond to your feedback, and we’ll make more adjustments to Drum and Extended Magazines in a later update.

Drum and extended magazines
