The theme of gold highlights all 10 items in the bundle including two Legendary blueprints – the King’s Highway assault rifle and the High Plains Drifter handgun.

Buckle up, it’s a big week for Black Ops Cold War starting February 4.

Along with the highly anticipated continuation of the Dark Aether story in the new “Firebase Z” map, Zombies players will gain access to the upgradeable Tombstone Soda Perk, as well as a new game mode for Dead Ops Arcade 3, and the addition of Express to Onslaught on PlayStation.

Multiplayer digs all the way back to Black Ops II for the return of Express, the 40-player Endurance mode debuts in Multiplayer on the game’s biggest maps, and Call of Duty: Mobile kicks off a brand-new season with an event coming later this week.

Without further delay, here’s your weekly intel…

The Lead: Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer Sees Express Return

Players can hop aboard the bullet train when Express makes its big return.

First introduced in Black Ops II , Express is a fast-paced 6v6 map that takes place on a modern bullet train railway in Los Angeles, with players fighting in the terminal, on the station platform, and across the tracks themselves.

Express is free for all Black Ops Cold War players and comes with the new Express 24/7 playlist with a collection of game modes including Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint.

Test Your Endurance

Following this season’s tactical Duos variation, Black Ops Cold War’s biggest game mode is about to take the 10-team experience to a whole new level.

In Endurance , 10 squads of four will drop into Alpine, Ruka, and Sanatorium to collect uranium and arm bombs throughout the match.

However, every time a bomb is detonated, a new one will spawn at a new location to replace it, ensuring that there will always be five bombs available for all 40 players to compete over.

The score limit will also be doubled from 500 to 1,000, making this perfect for completing Multiplayer challenges. So jump in with your squad and experience the game’s most detailed maps in an entirely new way.

New to Zombies This Week: “Firebase Z”, Tombstone Soda, and More

The next chapter in the Black Ops Cold War Zombies saga begins on February 4 in “Firebase Z,” Treyarch’s latest map in the new Dark Aether story. Following the events of “Die Maschine,” Grigori Weaver and the agents of Requiem will storm the jungles of Vietnam to rendezvous with an Omega Group informant and attempt to save Samantha Maxis from Outpost 25.

This entirely new Zombies location is packed with new enemies, game features, hidden secrets, and a powerful new Wonder Weapon to wield against the undead. Watch the trailer if you haven’t already, and get ready to grab your squad and jump in:

https://youtu.be/INmAzI7C9M8

Also on February 4, the Tombstone Soda Perk is back, and will be available in “Firebase Z” and the Der Wunderfizz machine in “Die Maschine.”

This time, the Tombstone Soda Perk will be a bit different. Players will be turned into shadows after they’re downed, which will allow them to explore the Dark Aether while trying to revive themselves. But if you die in while in shadow form, you’re dead for good. Better make your time in the shadows count!

Also coming to Zombies on February 4 is the brand-new Dead Ops Arcade Solo Advanced Start mode. Players get an advanced starting position based on the highest round achieved in Dead Ops Arcade 3 Solo. While stats, leaderboards, and challenges are disabled, the “Reunited with Fidolina” achievement can be completed in this mode, giving players a leg-up on one of the game’s toughest accomplishments.

And for Zombies fans on PlayStation, Express joins the Onslaught map list alongside new Zombies intel to discover in-game on February 4.

Make sure to check this space for full details on Wednesday, February 3.

Double XP Weekend Coming Soon

To celebrate the continuation of Season One: Reloaded, Double XP will be live in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone on all platforms starting at 10AM on February 5 through February 8, with PlayStation Operators receiving another full day of Double XP on February 4.

Throwback Moshpit Debuts in Black Ops Cold War

For old-school Black Ops fans looking to jump into some classic maps in Cold War , Treyarch’s Throwback Moshpit arrives on February 18th. This new playlist features fan-favorites Raid, Express, and Nuketown ’84 in a variety of respawn modes for everyone to enjoy all week long.

Snipers Only Moshpit , the popular 6v6 competition where players face off with nothing but sniper rifles, is back on February 18.

Get your marksman loadout ready and have some fun!

Also continuing this week is Gunfight Blueprints , a 2v2 MP mode where duos square off with random Weapon Blueprints across five maps: Game Show, KGB, U-Bahn, ICBM, and Nuketown ’84.

The centerpieces of this bundle are two Weapon Blueprints, starting with the Ultra “Tape Deck,” a sky blue SMG Delta with colorful jazzercise trim. Backing up “Tape Deck” is the Legendary “Fast Tempo,” an Assault Rifle Echo built for speed.

Rounding out the bundle are the two more Legendary items – the “Forward Progress” watch and “Mixtape” Charm – as well as the “Retro Vision” Sticker, “Love Link” Calling Card, and “Retro” Vehicle Horn, and the Base Vehicle Skin “Renegade.”

Call of Duty: Weekly Briefing – March 1

There’s a ton going on in Call of Duty , but none bigger than Season Two of Black Ops Cold War and Warzone , which launched just last week. We’re highlighting a few of the new playlists and bundles you can get right now below.

Also, there are two big tournaments on the horizon. The Toronto Ultra $100K Payout is back on March 1 and 2, while Call of Duty League gears up for its first Major Tournament of the year with all 12 teams competing starting March 3.

Let’s get into our latest intel drop…

The Lead : Black Ops Cold War and Warzone Season Two Continues!

With the big launch of Season Two last week, let’s take a look at what players can expect in the week ahead for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone .

New Rapid Fire Moshpit

A new MP playlist that’s designed to keep the action non-stop, both in and out of your matches.

Players can jump into games of Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint on the game’s smallest and fastest maps, including Apocalypse, Nuketown ’84, Crossroads Strike, Raid, Express, and Garrison.

But the game’s rules have been tweaked to keep the action moving at a rapid pace, starting with a constant radar sweep that pings the map throughout the match.

Oh, and the Ghost Perk will be disabled, so you’ll be detectable at all times. Also, the time between matches will be reduced to get players back into the action as fast as possible. Good luck!

Continuing Playlists

Keep testing your gunfighting proficiency with the free-for-all fan favorite Gun Game mode, available since Season Two’s launch. Progress through 20 weapons and become the first player to get a kill with all of them.

Aggressive Operators will want to jump over to Apocalypse 24/7 , a small-to-medium sized map set in a jungle cartel base in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Of course, perennial favorites like Nuketown 24/7 , Face Off , and more are also included in this week’s Featured Playlists, so there’s plenty of modes and maps for players to choose from.

Free Access Week Continues: Play Now!

With Adler M.I.A. and the undead threat reaching epic proportions in the Dark Aether story, we’re calling on all Operators to join the fight in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Available from now to Thursday, March 4 at 10 am PT, you can play a selection of Multiplayer and Zombies content, including the all-new Outbreak experience, for free as part of the game’s new Free Access Week.

This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy the next generation of global combat if you have yet to own Black Ops Cold War, as this Free Access Week serves up some of the new maps, modes, weapons, and more that were released at the launch of Season Two.

For more information, be sure to read this blog.

What’s In-Store This Week

Then on March 7, players can get the Anime Pilot bundle, which comes with three Weapon Blueprints: the Legendary “Fly Boy” fast-firing SMG Blueprint, the Legendary “Talon Envy” tactical rifle Blueprint, and the Legendary “Strafe Run” semi-automatic shotgun Blueprint.

Finally, on March 9, the Gilded Age III: Pro Pack bundle can be purchased directly from first-party stores. Included in this highly anticipated bundle are two Legendary Weapon Blueprints: “Carbon Composite” and “Carbon Steel.” Players will also score a nice haul of 2,400 Call of Duty Points.
