New Call Of Duty Update Balances Black Ops Cold War's Zombies Outbreak Mode

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's latest update is live; developer Treyarch has released the full patch notes. The update implements bug fixes and objective tuning to Zombies, and the patch notes also contain some details on the return of the cult favorite Dead Ops Arcade mode, which will be remade in first-person.

The update focuses on Zombies' new Outbreak mode, which is an open-world, co-op variation of Call of Duty's traditional Zombies. Instead of fighting off hordes of zombies in a series of rounds, Outbreak tasks a team of players with accomplishing a series of objectives in any order they wish across a vast open space that's filled with zombies.

Also in the patch notes, Treyarch details what players can expect in Rapid Fire Moshpit and Dead Ops Arcade: First Person, both of which are scheduled to go live in Black Ops Cold War on March 4. Rapid Fire Moshpit is a playlist composed of Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint but only on the game's smallest maps. Dead Ops Arcade: First Person remakes Dead Ops Arcade 3--it's just now played in first-person.
