Today's Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's weekly update is mostly a playlist refresher, but the August 19 patch notes detail some notable changes to the game's competitive League Play mode that will likely affect some players' loadouts.

New Playlists

Black Ops Cold War's featured playlist will now include Slums 24/7, Face Off Showroom 24/7, Gunfight 3v3 Snipers Only, and 12v12 Moshpit. These new playlists arrive alongside a new Gunfight Tournament.

Nuketown 24/7 also replaced NukeJacked this week, and Cold War's recent Among Us-style Double Agent mode will be sticking around.

League Play

For Black Ops Cold War's competitive League Play mode, Season 5's new EM2 assault rifle and TEC-9 submachine gun have been restricted from all CDL modes. Here's our guide on how to unlock new Season 5 weapons like the EM2, TEC-9, and the Cane.

Double XP

Players can also level up Season 5's new weapons faster this weekend. Double XP and Double Weapon XP will be live in both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone from August 20 to August 23.

The full patch notes for August 19 can be seen below, as posted by Treyarch. Call of Duty's Season 5 also just added a fire-shooting shotgun-pistol to Black Ops Cold War and Warzone; here's how to unlock it.
