Bevils and SlasheR think changes need to be made to Black Ops 4 Search and Destroy

Team Envy’s Call of Duty coach Embry ‘Bevils’ Bevil believes there is one major change that needs to happen to improve Black Ops 4’s competitive Search and Destroy game mode.

Bevils posted a TwitLonger, discussing the fact that when a player enters a Search and Destroy game, all of the equipment that player has selected, like concussions or frag grenades and special issue equipment, are not available to use, but instead begin on a cooldown timer.

The coach believes this will lower the quality of gameplay in S&D, as he feels the lack of utility available to players in early rounds will discourage tactical strategies.

He also states that the rounds in-between players gaining their equipment will be “boring”, as players will likely stick together and attempt to out-trade their opponents when they have no equipment to work with.

Bevils thinks that allowing players to spawn in with their equipment ready to be used every round would allow teams to create strategies based around the use of utility and see players move away from grouping up to trade kills.

100 Thieves star Austin ‘SlasheR’ Liddicoat and Patryk ‘Rallied’ Salata, who is a well-known member of the Search and Destroy, community both agree that the mode could be improved in Black Ops 4.

SlasheR responded to say that he wants an old-school tactical feel from games like Ghosts and Modern Warfare 3 to return, while Rallied thinks Tac Mask and Flak Jacket need to be buffed before Bevils’ suggestion can be implemented.
