“Big improvements to Multiplayer are here with todays update”
Treyarch
Big improvements to Multiplayer are here with todays update! Weve fixed several MP-specific crashes, increased the delivery speed of Care Packages, updated several modes and Challenges, enabled Mastercraft camos instantly on Signature Weapons, updated the visibility of Clan Tags and Kill Counters, adjusted the costs of several Scorestreaks based on current performance to ensure players are getting the most bang for their buck, and more. Remember to visit the Scorestreaks selection menu to adjust your equipped Scorestreaks accordingly after downloading todays update.
Weve also added TDM 100 as our latest Featured playlist on all platforms, bumping up the score limit for Team Deathmatch to 100 by popular demand. Hardcore Mercenary Moshpit, Mercenary Moshpit, and Gun Game round out the Featured category for the week. Jump into this weeks Featured playlists today and get those wins.
For our Zombies players, were delivering 70+ crash fixes and gameplay improvements today, making this stability pass even bigger than last weeks major update. See below for the full list, including fixes for crashes and bugs across all four maps, UI improvements, and more. As we continue to identify and address more specific Zombies gameplay scenarios that could cause the game to crash, our primary focus is now on taking care of the remaining stability issues in high-round play. We have bolstered our ability to research and investigate these issues, and have several fixes in the works that will be rolled out in the near future.
In Blackout, weve addressed issues with screen jittering when moving and changing attachments or healing, and made the Bowie Knife now available in Equipment Stashes, as a random drop from killing Zombies, and as a randomized item spawn in Zombies-themed locations on PS4, with other platforms to follow.
Finally, our PC update is coming later today, including its own set of unique changes in addition to the ones listed below. In this update, weve decided to roll back the SMG balance changes from last weeks update that did not translate as well to the PC meta. See below for full details in the dedicated PC section of the patch notes.

Resolved an issue causing screen jittering when moving and changing attachments, or when moving and healing.
Bowie Knife now available in Equipment Stashes, as a random drop from killing Zombies, and as a randomized item spawn in Zombies-themed locations on PS4.
In addition to the global changes above, the following updates are coming to the game on PC later today:
We strive to provide a similar experience between PC and console whenever possible, making platform specific changes when appropriate. In our last weapon balancing pass, we made critical SMG balance changes that were needed on console. These changes did not translate as well to PC, where mouse-and-keyboard players already saw success with SMG weapons. Were rolling these changes back to best suit the needs of our PC community, and taking it a step even further for the Spitfire. The above changes to the Swordfish and ABR 223 also apply to PC.
Submachine Guns
Spitfire
Cordite
MX9
