New patch notes have been revealed for Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4. I was invited to a Call of Duty creator call that detailed some exclusive highlights we’ll be seeing on May 29th. The Black Ops 6 Season 4 patch notes have confirmed important quality of life updates, changes to the weapon meta and more. Here’s everything revealed with the Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 4 patch notes:
MULTIPLAYER
- Theater Mode disabled while an issue gets investigated.
- Team elinnaition is a mashup of control, limited respawns, mixed with Kill Confirmed. Picked up tags reduce enemy respawns. Revives available.
- 5 pistols in one in the chamber. Hand canon at the start, turns people into pink mist,
- Olympia will be a good special, promise from matt. Introduces good build variety. They heard the concerns. It will be a worthy secondary,
- Pickaxe is a 1 hit weapon.
- Shutdown (6v6) | Jump up by the red container to target enemies from far out or swim back onshore to reach the Atrium and Parking.
- Fugitive (6v6) | Deploy to a secret CIA black site in a remote part of Iceland, the very location where Stitch has been imprisoned until Adler brings him in as an unlikely ally for an urgent operation.
- Blitz (6v6, 2v2) | Traffic comes to a halt as Pantheon reinforcements race toward the prison but get ambushed by the Rogue team.
- G-Grip (Battle Pass) a Vertical foregrip with integrated laser for improved firing stability, horizontal recoil control, and tightened spread when transitioning between hipfire and aiming down sights. Beam: Blue. Blocks Laser attachment (Available for SMGs (except PP-19) and Assault Rifles).
- Stryder .22 3-Round Burst Mod,
Convert the Stryder .22 into a 3-round burst. Drastically improves fire rate and maintains manageable gun kick but alters the weapon’s damage profile outside of the effective range (Launch, Event Reward). - SVD Full Auto Mod Convert the SVD from semi-auto to full-auto functionality, ramping up the speed of your damage output and drastically improving recoil and handling (In-Season, Event Reward)
- TR2 CQB Auto Conversion, alter the TR2 Marksman Rifle to fire handgun caliber rounds, resulting in a Marksman Rifle with a compact frame and fully automatic capabilities that rival fire rates of an SMG!
- Grim Reaper Scorestreak a Powerful semi-automatic launcher that can fire up to four rockets in one load (In-Season)
ZOMBIES
- They wanted to bring grief back for awhile. It made sense for the story right now to bring it in.
- Inspiration from BO2 MOTD Grief cellblock specifically. Kevin and Gavin both worked on them.
- Normal, critical, melee, equipment and support kills needed to complete grief zones,
- Chopper gunner and mutant injection balancing in Grief. Enemies can shoot players OUT of those streaks.
- Team shroud augment is a strategy against the enemy team in Grief.
- Grief is a PERMANENT MODE. Map voting in lobbies back for Grief / Starting Room LTM
- Dark Ops Challenges, a mysterious new set of hidden Calling Cards and bounteous amounts of XP are available at the start of Season 04, thanks to a fresh drop of Zombies Dark Ops Challenges, possibility there will be one for Grief.
- Shatter Blast Ammo Mod, modify your ammunition to explode the toughened armor of certain normal and Special undead enemies. This mod also has a second benefit, creating an area-of-effect blast radius at the same time, whether any armor is shattered or not.
Augments
WARZONE
- Experimental features in LTMs before being added to permanent BR. Feedback needed.
- Crane can be summoned from different terminals and used to get to the overlook.
- Clash is launch, 104 players. Hand canon (2 tap, 10 rounds) and new ‘Search and Destroy’ contract are clash exclusive,
- Havoc mode mid season. 44 players quads. Every circle activates a different gameplay modifier. (Lemon heads, crouch potato, gas fills an area and moves vertically.)
- New perk in resurgence and plunder called loot master. Bigger chance of better items from chests,
- Casual has been an uplift for BR. Coming to resurgence. This season is adding BR Casual Solo. They’re experimenting by removing the BR solos playlist.
- BR Ranked will exist simultaneously with Resurgence ranked when it’s added during mid season.
QNA
- The Olympia will be a WORTHY secondary, and the team wanted to experiment with the special class category.
- They cant give definitive answers on easter egg rewards in Warzone, but they’ve aware of the feedback.
- For event rewards, more camos weren’t announced but have been taken into account. Events are planned far in advance.
- Field Upgrades have been tuned for Grief.
- Area 99 not in the cards for a Season 4 return. Champion’s Quest has not been announced either.
- Grief requires 4 players to matchmake to find an opposing team. No private matches.
- No wonder weapons are available in Grief but there are possibilities of LTMs in the future. They’re not in normal gRIEF because of one person’s ability to horde the entire zombie economy.
- Rebirth updates may be added in the future. They’re looking into it but nothing to announce as of now. (Ex: Lighting changes on rebirth, fresh POI updates, etc),
