Black Ops Cold War updates focus on Zombies and new League Play mode

The latest Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War update features fixes across the game’s Zombies, League Play and multiplayer modes.

February 10’s patch largely focuses on improvements to the newly launched League Play mode.

These include resolving an issue where the party leader leaving a queue could cause the group to break up and a fix for an issue which resulted in League Play Create-a-Class incorrectly reverting to default multiplayer loadouts.

On the Zombies front, Wednesday’s patch fixes crashes related to the Mimic and Assault rounds, addresses an issue causing some players to lose their weapon when re-rolling attachments, and closes an exploit where players could become impossible to harm.

Today’s patch follows a separate title update released on February 9, which focused solely on Zombies and League Play. Both sets of patch notes are republished below.

Treyarch has also confirmed plans to hold a double XP weekend beginning on February 12.

Earlier this month Activision said the first season of Black Ops Cold War and Warzone content has seen the most Battle Pass sales since the introduction of the new in-game system in late 2019.

The publisher also announced plans to release a new premium Call of Duty game in the fourth quarter of 2021 and claimed that the Call of Duty franchise has generated $27 billion in lifetime sales since launching in 2003.
