BLACK OPS 4 PATCH NOTES NOW LIVE
You can read the patch notes further down the page, but for now, here's a further message from Treyarch on today's big new update and other additions.
Its here. Our biggest update to Black Ops 4 since launch is now live, as well as our first 2XP weekend event! Theres a lot to celebrate with this update, so lets jump straight into whats new.
First, weve made a ton of improvements and tweaks across all modes with todays update. This includes several changes that were informed through community feedback, as well as an abundance of gameplay improvements and bug fixes that wed been targeting since launch. Your input and reports have been integral to the impact of this and future game updates, so please keep your feedback (and patience while we work on the next one) coming. See below for the full list of changes.
Community Update – Operation: First Strike, 2XP/2X Nebulium, and Free Halloween Event
Starting today for PS4 players, the Black Market is back! In Black Ops 4, were giving players more choices than ever before with the Contraband progression path to earn free cosmetic items as you play, including new Tags, Gestures, Outfits, Calling Cards, Stickers, Blackout characters, Signature Weapons, and more. As you unlock these cosmetics by playing the game, youll earn more ways to express yourself than ever in both Multiplayer and Blackout.
Operation: First Strike kicks off the first season of Contraband content in the Black Market on PS4 today. Also, starting tomorrow on PS4, players will get access to a free Halloween-themed Special Event stream with even more seasonal gear to earn! Both the first season of Contraband content in the Black Market and the Halloween Event will begin on other platforms one week later.
Note: While start and end dates may vary by platform, limited-time Special Events like the Halloween Event will all run for the same duration for all platforms – this will allow all players the same amount of time to experience the content. Timing on updates to the game including bug fixes and other improvements will not be affected. Get more details on what the Black Market includes and how it works at the blog here.
Were also starting the weekend right with our first 2XP event, giving players on all platforms 2XP in Multiplayer and 2X Nebulium Plasma in Zombies through 10AM PT on Monday, October 22nd. Hope youve cleared your calendar.
BLACK OPS 4 – UPDATE 2 – Still no patch notes, however, the Xbox One download is now available.
Xbox console users will reportedly have to download a 11.5GB update for the game.
However, it's worth reiterating that although the Xbox One update has arrived, the Black Market content won't be available until NEXT Friday.
Stay tuned for updates and refresh the page for the latest news.
BLACK OPS 4 – UPDATE 1 – The Patch Notes still don't appear to be available, but that might be because the update is still to roll out for Xbox One consoles.
However, that might be about to change very soon.
Roughly 10 minutes ago at 9.31pm BST Treyarch took to Twitter to give fans some more info regarding tonight's new update. And it sounds as though the Xbox update is coming soon.
"Our latest #BlackOps4 update is in the final stages of rolling out across all platforms, including a quick fix to ensure proper time-based progression across Contraband tiers. Full notes coming soon!"
We'll bring you more info on the Xbox One rollout and those all-important patch notes as soon as they become available.
11.5GB
Original Story – Black Ops 4 is rolling out a brand new update to the game this evening. This is for Call of Duty Black Ops 4 version 1.03 and for the time being it's only showing for PS4 and PC players.
From what we can tell from reports online, the update weighs in at 8.9GB on the PS4 but just 4GB on PC.
Equally, according to the Call of Duty experts at Charlie Intel, this new patch update brings with it the Black Market System to PlayStation 4 (more on that in the video above).
It's believed Xbox One and PC users will get the feature in roughly "seven days".
There's no doubt a whole heap of other changes to the game too. Bug fixes and more.
For now, though, patch notes are still tbc. But we suspect they'll be dropping very soon and the second they do we'll reveal them here.
Weve also made the following additional updates specific to PC:
- General
- Fixed a crash related to equipping a Hellion Salvo with any Camo and the Fast Lock Attachment.
- Addressed an issue where right-clicking in the Scoreboard could prevent mouse functionality.
- Addressed an issue in the Paintshop where the paintjob preview wasnt rendering properly.
- General stability improvements.
- Performance
- Fixed an issue that should improve performance for players reporting stuttering. The Beenox team will continue to monitor performance closely for future updates.
- Improved network connection stability when using voice chat.
- Zombies
- Fixed an occasional crash during higher rounds on IX.
- Blackout
- Players can now report other users after viewing the Killcam.
- Addressed an issue where FOV didnt properly reset after using a Gesture.
