Today’s maintenance update delivers the return of Hot Pursuit to Blackout on all platforms, as well as fixes and adjustments in all modes. We’ve reduced the Reaver C86’s damage against non-players (we see you, Safeguardians), implemented a fix for Vision Pulse occasionally ending prematurely when enemy players spawned in during the pulse, and closed an exploit where players could pick up their weapon after quickly respawning with a different class in Multiplayer.

Deathmatch Domination also returns on consoles and Arms Race Team Deathmatch comes to PC in MP with today’s Featured Playlist updates, along with the debut of Hot Pursuit on Blackout’s post-apocalyptic main map this week. See below for all the details in what’s new in all modes:

Can y’all please rotate Ground War in after Hot Pursuit? It was honestly the most I’ve played Blackout since launch.

We got you. Ground War is planned to return later this month on all platforms!

Will Ground war make a return at some point? I found it really fun. Just a bit different to other blackout modes.

Yep!

The DOTN sheild part in the library is still broken even after the update.

The fix for this is planned to go live in our next major update. Thanks for the reports.

All these updates and not at anytime have I seen a message that you guys are banning all the cheaters.

There are soo many now its ridiculous. And while there is a report feature. I hardly think you guys even look at the reports

We take every report of cheating very seriously and always pass them on to the team for appropriate action. Tagging us here with a video clip is a great way to bring any potential cheaters to our attention.

Can you answer why ancient evil , classified and dead of the night got random update files?

This is part of a back-end update to reduce the file size of future patches by repackaging our Zombies map files. No gameplay updates were made to these maps in today's update, though we have additional fixes in the works for an upcoming update, including a fix for the Shield part in Dead of the Night, weapon tuning for the Reaver C86 and Argus, and more.
