Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War got its first sizable patch of the new year this week with a new set of patch notes released on Thursday. The update aligned with the new schedule for playlist updates in Black Ops Cold War that’ll now happen on Thursdays which meant that there are some new modes to play in addition to changes made to existing modes. A few Scorestreaks were adjusted with some exploits being patched up as well, but aside from that, the patch notes show the latest update to be a pretty tame one.
“Team Deathmatch Challenger”
“Hardcore Challenger”
“Hardcore Champion”
Includes TDM, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint on Raid and Crossroads Strike.
Hardcore version also available in Quick Play.
2v2 Gunfight matches using new randomized Weapon Blueprint-based loadouts.
Fireteam: Dirty Bomb played with 20 players (10 teams of Duos).
Nuketown ‘84 Holiday replaced with Nuketown ‘84.
Added extra models and collision to prevent being able to kill enemies at their spawn in Game Show at the start of a match.
Adjusted time in Combined Arms: Assault when a zone is captured.
Addressed an issue in Hardcore modes where Spy Planes exiting the map could override the mini-map being active, even if a H.A.R.P. was still active.
Fixed a rare crash that could occur when calling in a Holiday Care Package.
