Call of Duty Black Ops 4: Neues Update mit Blackout-Anpassungen erschienen - Blightfather-Event verfügbar

Die zuständigen Entwickler von Treyarch haben ein neues Update für „Call of Duty: Black Ops 4“ veröffentlicht, mit dem man vor allem einige Änderungen am Blackout-Modus vorgenommen hat. Zudem wurde das „Blightfather“-Event erstmals in Blackout gestartet. Dieses umfasst einen Zombie-Boss, der auf dem Friedhof südlich der Anstalt auftaucht und wertvolle Belohnungen mit sich bringt. Außerdem stehen Charakter-Missionen für Bruno, Diego, Scarlett und Shaw zur Verfügung.

Im Weiteren haben die Entwickler die 9-Knall vollständig aus dem Blackout-Modus entfernt, nachdem die Spieler die Blendgranate harsch kritisiert hatten. Die Entwickler wollen erst herausfinden, wie man die Granate in das Gameplay integrieren kann. Zudem kann die Betäubungsgranate weiter geworfen und zweimal aufgesammelt werden, um den Verlust der 9-Knall auszugleichen.

Zombie-Spieler erhalten auch doppeltes Nebulium Plasma. Alle konkreten Änderungen des neuesten Updates kann man den Patchnotes entnehmen:
