Call of Duty Black Ops 4 has been out for over two weeks now, and it continues to do well in sales and in player participation. But, with all of the in-game hours that are being put into it, it means that more and more bugs, glitches, and exploits are being found by gamers. And true to form, developer Treyarch is working hard on fixing them, one patch at a time. Now, a brand new patch has released, and a lot of things were adjusted or improved.
On Reddit, Treyarch outlined the focus of the patch:
This week’s major game update marks our first big Multiplayer balancing pass since launch, including changes to weapons, Specialists, map spawns, Scorestreaks, Perks, Gear, game modes, and more. In Blackout, we’ve made updates to audio and Armor behavior, unlocked six Specialist character missions to track down and complete, cranked the max player count for Solos up to 100, and more. For Zombies players, we’ve made several gameplay improvements and fixes, including Easter Egg quest fixes and increased XP earn rates for Hardcore and Realistic difficulties.
Some new modes have been specifically added to the multiplayer playlist, including Gun Game, Mercenary Deathmatch Moshpit, and Chaos Domination. This will no doubt add a lot of variety to things for players, and Treyarch seems pretty excited about some of these modes themselves.
The team also made some notes about specific aspects of gameplay and the form of the game, such as what their views are on things like spawning:
In our ongoing effort to provide safer spawns, we’ve adjusted spawn logic and spawn placement across the board. In addition, spawn logic tuning has been done for enemy spawn weighting on Slums, Summit, Firing Range, Frequency, Arsenal, and Icebreaker.
