[GameSpot] - Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War April 27 Patch Notes Include Much-Needed Fixes For Multiplayer And Zombies

[343iBot]

Following the release of Call of Duty's Season 3, Treyarch released a new update today April 27 in order to iron out some of the bugs and crashes that have popped up. There are also various "stability fixes" to improve the quality of life for Black Ops Cold War.

MULTIPLAYER

Cold War's new party game mode Sticks and Stones has received a fix for an issue that caused tomahawk kills to incorrectly award 100 points, which is way too many for one kill. Tomahawk kills should now be awarding the proper 50 points per kill. The update also addresses the issue with Finishing Moves not counting as melee kills.

A fix was also issued for Beck's Season 3 battle pass operator mission. Previously, it was not progressing correctly in the large-scale Fireteam modes. Players should be able to properly advance in his operator mission now.

ZOMBIES

For Zombies, the incoming fixes address issues with the mode's frustrating scoreboard bugs. This corrects issues with the scoreboard losing functionality or no displaying the proper information.

The patch notes confirm a fix for crashes that occurred in Zombies Outbreak mode, specifically a crash that occurred when migrating hosts during an objective.

And lastly, the Crossroads map has been removed from the PlayStation-exclusive Onslaught mode for maintenance.

You can see the full patch notes below, as listed by Treyarch.
