Grapple Guns have always been disabled in Pandemic. If survivors can get somewhere in Pandemic, the infected can get there too. In fact, infected players can jump higher and farther than survivors.

Remember, you can climb on top of an opened door to reach places that you normally can't jump onto from the ground. We've also buffed infected players' resistance to Barricades with today's update, so your chances against survivors have never been stronger as the infected team.

These changes were made on PS4 and Xbox One in an earlier update, and rolled out on PC with today's 1.21 update.

Correct! Fixed above.

Good catch... we meant August 15th, which is actually this Thursday. Fixed!

An update just went live with the latest Featured Playlists -- restart the game and you should see them.

Operation Apocalypse Z: Survivors Now Live on Xbox One and PC

Operation Apocalypse Z: Survivors arrives today on Xbox One and PC with all-new Contraband rewards and new game content in all modes, including Infected: Final Stand in Multiplayer, Pandemic in Blackout, and the new “Duck and Cover” Gauntlet in Zombies. Our PC 1.21 update is also live today, delivering new weapon tuning and gameplay improvements across the board.

Today’s update delivers new zombie-friendly tuning changes to Pandemic, and restores the original slide velocity values for Ajax, Seraph, Outrider, and Reaper in...

We've made several tuning updates to Pandemic today to do just that, including increased resistance to Barricades and fire damage, increased sprint speed, ladder climb speed, and melee lunge range for the infected team. Let us know what you think, and keep an eye out for the full patch notes momentarily.

The latest map versions are now available in most regions, and are still being rolled out in a handful of remaining territories according to PlayStation. More details here on how to tell if it's fixed in your region:

Good catch. Zombie sounds should be happening more frequently with an upcoming update... not an intentional change.

EDIT: This is now fixed as of 6PM PT today.

Pandemic Updates, Sliding Adjustments, and Zombies Weapon Tuning

In today’s maintenance update, we’ve made new adjustments to Pandemic thanks in part to community feedback and internal data. Zombies will now respawn faster and have more of a fighting chance against the living, and all surviving squads will now properly see the Victory screen if they make it to the end of the match.

In MP, we’ve begun rolling out updates to restore the original slide velocity for all Specialists, with corrections for Battery, Crash, Firebreak, Prophet, Recon, Ruin, Zero, Torque, Nomad, and Spectre now live. Due to technical limitations, adjustments for Seraph, Ajax, Outrider,...

The team aware of this one and investigating. Thanks for the report!

Classified is part of the same Zombies map maintenance update. If you see the file sizes above for your DotN and Ancient Evil downloads after completing your current transfers, your next download of Classified should be the latest one as well. PlayStation is working to have this fixed in non-US regions shortly, so you can try again a bit later if you still aren't pulling down the latest downloads.

Correct! We chimed in on this a little while ago here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blackops4/comments/cecw5w/to_anyone_looking_for_the_paintjobs_utreyarch/euy3a9g/

Let us know if you're still seeing any missing Paintjobs on your end.

Still going through the submission process. We'll let everyone know when we have an ETA on the go-live date, no worries.

Today’s Update

Today’s maintenance update delivers a handful of gameplay improvements for Pandemic in Blackout, as well as Black Market weapon adjustments in Zombies and MP, general UI fixes, and restoration of missing Paintjobs and Warpaints. Read on below for the full list of changes in the patch notes.

Issues We’re Tracking

We’re currently tracking an unintended issue causing exaggerated sliding since Tuesday’s update, and are currently investigating a fix.

Also, PS4 Zombies players still experiencing prompts to re-download “Dead of the Night” and “Ancient Evil” should be on the lookout for the latest versions of the maps with the following file sizes:

• 5.264 GB for Dead of the Night
• 4.479 GB for Ancient Evil

If you’re still experiencing this issue, please be sure to finish your current downloads, then restart the game to begin downloading the newly-packaged maps. If you ...

You'll respawn as a zombie for the rest of the match once you're eliminated, and as more members of your squad are eliminated, they'll join you as members of your new zombie squad against the rest of the survivors, similar to Infected in MP. Check it out for yourself!

Known issue, and the team is working on a fix for disconnects in Pandemic as we speak. Hang tight.

Still in the works. We'll let everyone know when we have an ETA for the live date.

Still planned for a future update later in the Operation.

We're cooking up something special for next week leading up to CWL Champs...
