343iBot Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Call of Duty's Season 4 is just days away, and Treyarch has detailed the patch notes for Black Ops Cold War's update on June 17. This new season of multiplayer and Zombies content will go live in Black Ops Cold War starting at 9 PM PT June 16 / 12 AM ET June 17. Multiplayer As previously revealed by Call of Duty's Season 4 roadmap, Black Ops Cold War's new season will launch with a limited-time "Ground Fall" event, which will have players find and secure SAT-Links to score exclusive rewards. A new battle pass will be available with 100 Tiers to progress through, alongside new multiplayer maps of Collateral, Hijacked, and Amsterdam. Weapon Tuning Cold War weapons will mostly remain the same for the start of Season 4. Treyarch only made minor adjustments to a few assault rifle Muzzle attachments, which should improve the damage range on suppressor attachments for players who prefer a stealthier approach with their assault rifles. Gifting Feature A new gifting feature has been added to Cold War. Players can now gift the battle pass, battle pass bundles, and store bundles to their friends. As an added bonus, players will receive a 60-minute double battle pass XP token for sending their first gift between June 17 and June 30. However, two-factor authentication is required to use the gifting system, and specific bundles such as the free bundles, franchise store bundles, and limited-time bundles cannot be gifted. Zombies Treyarch also announced today that alongside the new Zoo map, Outbreak's "Operation Excision" storyline quest will be unlocked for players at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET on June 17. This storyline quest will allow players to uncover more of the Dark Aether storyline, as the events of the quest will serve as the prologue to the next round-based survival map "Mauer der Toten" coming later in the season.
