Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Big New Update Brings Leaderboards and a Number of Improvements

A new Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 update recently went live alongside the game’s first 2XP weekend event, Black Market, and Halloween event. It adds leaderboards for multiplayer, Blackout, and Zombies, and brings with it a number of fixes and improvements.

Patch notes are as follows:

  • General

    • Leaderboards are now available for Multiplayer, Blackout, and Zombies. For Multiplayer and Blackout, players will start ranking on Leaderboards after playing 25 games.

    • As a result of significant architectural changes between updates, previous Theater files can no longer be viewed. While this is an unfortunate side effect of live game development, we will make every effort to keep instances of incompatibility to an absolute minimum.

    • To our players experiencing trouble starting full Blackout and MP matches in certain areas at specific times of the day (parts of South America, South Africa, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East): we hear you. We are investigating multiple options to give everyone the best possible experience by connecting players to the closest well-populated server with without negatively impacting other players on that server. Please stay tuned as we roll out updates to help alleviate this issue.

  • Zombies Weapon Camos

    • Gold, Diamond, and Dark Matter camos will be coming to Zombies in a future update. We hear you loud and clear.
