Black Ops 4 Microtransactions Introduced in New Patch

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has been out for a little less than a month, but the updates keep on coming. However, this one may be one of the biggest the game will see. Treyarch decided to drop a little Halloween treat (or trick, depending on how you feel) on its players with its newest patch. Who’s ready for microtransactions?

The most notable introduction with this patch is undoubtedly the COD points, which are used for the game’s form of microtransactions. These points can be spent in the Black Market or used in Zombies to get some Nebulium Plasma.

In addition, the Black Market will see Special Orders added to it. Special Orders will let players stack each tier in the Market with multiple items. Special Orders will rotate throughout the Black Market on a regular basis, but there’s no need to worry about losing the items once you acquire them.

The update comes to the PlayStation 4 first, with a launch for other systems planned for next week. Here are the full patch notes:
