Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 developer Treyarch heard your beta feedback loud and clear, and has just announced in an October 21 dev talk video that it's making the Dexterity perk optional while accessing aim down sights in motion. Still, Treyarch would love to hear you even louder and more clearly, and so it's also making footstep noises more audible. "If you do want to get a little more aggressive with your movement," he said then, "we will have perks that allow you to do that." Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta players say the Dexterity perk should be the standard, Treyarch says there's a reason it isn't: "We're being a bit more intentional with our combat" Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 devs say that you can blame the Black Ops timeline for the wall jump not being a wall run: “Black Ops 2 really gave us a foundation for the technology available” Treyarch devs say "we welcome all constructive feedback" as Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 readies for launch: "This is why we do a beta, so that we can make sure there are no blind spots" Now, Scronce explains in Treyarch's dev talk video that Dexterity will only enhance ADS (aim down sights) while you slide around – it's not required. So Black Ops 7 players will be able to glide around their maps like Beyblade princesses, but they'll also need to mind their clomping. The Black Ops 7 beta featured nearly undetectable footstep squeaks, so Scronce says Treyarch has "slightly increased the volume of our footsteps in multiplayer." "We're very happy with where they're at, where it's going to incentivize more stealth playstyles without over-indexing on the need for the Ninja perk," he continues. Fans have never been more glad to be fat-footed. "They nailed it. Perfect changes to the perks and defaulting Omni movement back to being able to ADS," says esports champion Parasite on Twitter.
