Black Ops 3 Specialist Guide

This Guide gives you all the information you need about the specialists in Call of Duty Black Ops 3!
It includes charging times and durations of the weapons and abilities.

General

This following guide will show you all the charging times and durations for all the specialist characters in Black Ops 3.



All the informations and numbers are completely self tested and took me over 4 hours to get.
I started a custom TDM and stopped the time for every single weapon and ability, with and without the overclock perk.

So let's get into the numbers.

Nice. another sugestion could be to also include the other game modes. keep the it up.

[K2D | Burning4Eye]

@Pala-DIN-A4 Yes it is. It's updated to the latest PS4 Patch (18.4.2016)
I will add additional information to the whole guide in a few weeks, when I'll have more time to make some more studies about all of them.
Also expecting the new speialist to come out soon, will includ it as soon as possible.

[Pala-DIN-A4]

nice guide. is this updated to the lastest patch?

[K2D | Burning4Eye]

@Cthulhu thx a lot for the recommandations! I'll try to add your suggestions :)

[𝓚𝓣𝓗𝓤𝓛𝓗𝓤]

Would be nice if you could add how much time is reduced per point gained :)
Otherwise a really well compressed guide!

Maybe add how long you can fire scythe/Purifier too, because 120 and 100 are quite abstract.

[K2D | Burning4Eye]

I have updated it. I knew about the patch but I wanted to wait, until it's really out on PC. But thx for telling anyways :)

[Smelly]

the scythe only has 120 bullets due to the recent patch if you haven't noticed...

[KOTE]
