Zombies will keep the same playlist options this week, but Treyarch did dive into some details for the upcoming Mauer der Toten Zombies map, which received a gameplay trailer earlier today.
Mauer der Toten will arrive on July 15 with the Season 4 Reloaded update, and this update will include changes to enemy health caps, enemy armor durability, sniper rifle critical and max damage buffs, Pack-a-Punched melee weapon damage buffs, as well as damage scaling for equipment, support items, and field upgrades.
Treyarch also mentioned a new Dynamic Wall Buys feature coming to all round-based Zombies maps in Season 4 Reloaded. This feature will give Wall Buy weapons a chance to increase in rarity at the end of every fifth round, and increase all the way up to Legendary rarity. So, a weaker rare Wall Buy weapon could be more useful in later rounds, assuming it gets the random rarity buff. It will be interesting to see how powerful these changes will be for the mid-season update.
You can see the full July 8 playlist update for Black Ops Cold War below, as shared by Treyarch.
For Warzone, Raven Software announced a playlist refresher for this week. Verdansk 84 is adding Buy Back Solos and Plunder's Blood Money Quads, while Buy Back Quads and Plunder's Blood Money Trios have been removed. And the Rebirth Island map will be keeping the Resurgence Quads limited-time mode for another week.
