Call of Duty Black Ops 4 October 17 Update Focuses on Zombies

Less than 24 hours after releasing its playlist balancing update, Treyarch has deployed yet another update for Black Ops 4. This time, the update focuses on the game’s Zombies experience and weapon tuning, improving stability and balance across the board.

Black Ops 4's Zombies mode is now much more stable.

Black Ops 4 Zombies Update

Treyarch announced the update’s release via Reddit, saying that Zombies Easter Egg hunts should now be much smoother:

“As promised yesterday, we’ve just rolled out a Zombies-specific update this morning across all platforms that includes several stability improvements across IX, Voyage of Despair, Blood of the Dead, and Classified in Black Ops 4. This should alleviate some of the issues we’ve seen recently during some (otherwise epic) Easter Egg hunts. Thanks again for bearing with us – even though we’re still in the early days after launch, the Zombies team is dedicated to constantly improving the game experience for the entire community.”

The full notes for the update and the additional issues Treyarch is currently investigating are below:

Zombies

  • Significant stability fixes across all Zombies maps, including fixes to the Easter Egg quests.

Weapon Tuning

  • We’ve seen comments and requests around general weapon tuning since launch. We take weapon tuning very seriously and put any proposed tweaks through rigorous internal testing before we consider a change to the game. With that said, we’ve captured a massive amount of input and stats since October 12th, and we’re currently making a tuning pass for a major update coming soon. Stay tuned.

Vehicle Behavior in Blackout

  • If you frequent this subreddit, you’ve probably seen clips of some unexpected vehicle behavior in Blackout. We’re investigating the issue.

Death Stashes on Consoles

  • Some players have reported freezing issues when looting a Death Stash in Blackout on consoles. We’re currently working on a fix for this in the near future.

Progression Losses

  • We’ve continued to track issues related to connection timeouts that lead to a loss in stats/recently unlocked camos. We’re planning a fix for this later this week.

Now that the Zombies update is live, it should be easier to follow the steps outlined in our IX Easter Eggs guide.
