In the case of major game updates like this one, it can take longer than 24 hours to thoroughly test and approve new PC content. This is a special case, as this update includes the launch of "Ancient Evil" in Zombies and additional content in all modes.

Last week, we updated the PC playlist selection for healthier player populations and lower lobby wait times. We mentioned that playlists will continue to evolve over time, and with the help of some constructive community feedback, we’re planning the following playlist updates for tomorrow on PC:

Multiplayer

• Featured Playlist
  • No changes.
• New Core Playlists
  • Deathmatch Moshpit
    • Team Deathmatch
    • Kill Confirmed
  • Objective Moshpit
    • Domination
    • Hardpoint
    • Safeguard
  • Limited Lives Moshpit
    • Control
    • Search & Destroy
    • Heist
  • Free-for-All
• New Hardcore Playlists
  • Hardcore Deathmatch Moshpit
    • Hardcore Team Deathmatch
    • Hardcore Kill Confirmed
  • Hardcore Objective Moshpit ...

This update will re-balance Core Multiplayer, Hardcore Multiplayer, and Public Zombies playlists with PC community preferred maps and modes. These changes, along with continued support of new and fan favorite modes in our Multiplayer Featured Playlist section, will reduce the time it takes to get into your next match.

Read on below to see what’s new in across all modes on PC, including adding keybinds to cycle between Equipment and healing items in Blackout.

General Changes (PC)

Multiplayer

Weapons

• Saug 9mm
  • Operator Mod : Further increased the hip fire spread. Lowered the maximum damage falloff distance.The dual Saug was extremely popular and efficient on PC and it needed additional attention from what had been done for console.
• MOG-12
  • Barrel Choke : Reduced one-hit kill range.While we already had a different balancing for this weapon on PC, we felt that this attachment was still performing a bit too well outside of its intended range.
• Koshka
  • Moved one-shot kill zone from “head only” to “head and upper chest”. Using High Caliber it will grant a one-shot kill from the chest up....

Blackout

Fixed an issue where Trauma Kits would not heal its users under certain conditions.

Known Issues (PC)

We are aware that some users are encountering crashes in various locations. We are currently closely monitoring the stability since the launch and are planning multiple fixes for our incoming patch next week.

Here are some workarounds:

If you are experiencing freezes during the intro movie, disabling the GeForce Experience in-game overlay might fix the issue. Nvidia has also released a BETA driver to fix the issue, we encourage you to try it out: https://w...

Here’s what we've just added to the game today:

We launched Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with the all-new Blackout mode at 120fps for PC players (Multiplayer and Zombies modes were both uncapped). Now we’re increasing the cap to 160fps, and in the next few days, will enable uncapped framerates.

We can also announce that the Zombies Easter Eggs are now enabled.

Plus, there are several other fixes to improve the PC experience:

• Fixed an issue causing the Social and Settings menus to be inaccessible when spectating in Blackout.
• Fixed an issue that caused UI elements to persist on screen when opening the Player menu at the same time as a match starting.
• Fixed an issue causing a UI error to appear when right-clicking characters in the player account's Personalization menu.
