Black Ops 4 October 25 update adds new Zombies playlists, PC Blackout fixes and more – full patch notes
TreyarchTreyarch has kept the update train rolling with yet another game settings update for Black Ops 4.
Ever since Black Ops 4 was released on October 12, Treyarch has been hard at work releasing regular updates to the game in order to provide players with the best experience possible.
The latest game settings update brings a few new additions for PC and Xbox One players while fixing a couple glitches that has been dividing the PC Blackout community.
Most notably, the October 25 update will set up the release of the Black Market on all platforms. The feature was first released exclusively to the PlayStation 4 last week but starting October 26, PC and Xbox One players will have a chance to start earning new rewards.
In addition to the Black Market, PC and Xbox players will also gain access to the free Halloween event item on October 27. Treyarch was sure to remind players that even though they have gotten the event a week later than PlayStation players, everyone will have access to it for the same length of time.
The other major change coming with the October 25 update deals with a glitch that allowed PC players to activate the Wingsuit at any time by using the Number Pad 3 key. PC players will now only be able to activate the suit by sprinting and jumping from a significant height, which is Treyarch’s intended method of using the suit.
In addition to that fix, Treyarch also patched out the ability to shoot through certain rocks, which was causing many players to lose gunfights despite being fully behind cover.
