Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 announced that the next phase of Operation Apocalypse Z is slated to kick off August 6 for the PlayStation 4. This new phase adds new content to all modes available in Black Ops 4.
Here are some of the new content that players can look forward to:
- Pandemic
- Imagine an 80-player game of Infected on the biggest Call of Duty map ever made. We’re cranking that idea to 11 and making it a reality in Blackout, where the rules have changed from “last squad standing” to “last survivors on Earth against an endless swarm of undead at the end of the world”. Get ready to run.
- Infected: Final Stand
- The fan-favorite party game rises again in Multiplayer with new game-changing twists to keep both teams fighting for survival until the very end.
- Blackout Updates
- We’re adding the new sidecar-equipped motorcycle to Blackout, along with more Zombies-inspired Easter eggs, Wonder Weapons, wall buys, and enemy types.
- “Alpha Omega” Gauntlet
- Take on 30 new rounds of challenges at Camp Edward in our latest competitive Gauntlet for Zombies fans, “Duck and Cover”.
- More Contract Rewards
- We’re increasing the potential Contract reward rate by guaranteeing at least one Normal Contract with a Reserve Case reward each day.
- New Black Market Content
- New Contraband rewards are coming, including an Ultra Weapon Bribe, new Epic Outfits, Gestures, Reactive Camo, Jump Pack, Calling Cards, and more.
The Return of Prop Hunt & Ground War
Black Ops 4 revealed that the featured playlist released Tuesday not only brings back Prop Hunt to MP but also brings Ground War back to Blackout’s post-apocalyptic main map for the first time. Meanwhile the Barebones Moshpit is also coming to MP, though this is for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Known Issues and Upcoming Fixes
Black Ops 4 is going to release an update that fixes the recent issue detected in Zombies. This was the problem where players were not able to pick up the Shield piece that appeared on the bookshelf in the Library in “Dead of the Night.” Other issues currently being tracked by the development team include:
- Previously saved Paintjobs currently appearing hidden
- Daemon 3XB Mastercraft not leveling up properly if the base version isn’t owned
- Improved pathing for the K9-Unit to prevent Juneau from jumping up onto the tower in Summit
- Damage tuning for the Reaver C86, Argus, and Locus in Zombies
- Crashes that can occur when Pack-a-Punching the Ballistic Knife in Zombies
- Various fixes and improvements for “Alpha Omega” in Zombies
