Black Ops Cold War March 2 update: New Dead Ops mode, Outbreak changes, more

Treyarch just dropped another surprising Black Ops Cold War update on March 2, bringing two explosive new game modes to the title, as well as a raft of planned Zombies changes, and a huge set of long-awaited bug fixes.

Just days after the enormousSeason 2 update, Black Ops Cold War now has another patch — very Zombies focused, this time around — to install before you can get grinding. This one comes with a fresh Zombies experience, along with a new multiplayer playlist and some key quality of life fixes.

Black Ops gameplay

Despite the recent introduction of Outbreak, Zombies players now have even more to sink their teeth into. For the first time in franchise history, you can drop into the arcade-style Dead Ops experience in first person.

Moreover, objective-based gameplay should be much smoother moving forward. Here’s everything there is to know about the latest patch.

Dead Ops Arcade gameplay

Dead Ops has been a unique arcade mode in Treyarch titles since its first iteration in 2010’s Black Ops. Now, players can access the lighthearted mode in first person.

All the standard features are still available, from randomly generated levels to unique boss fights. Though you’ll now be playing from a more traditional perspective if you’re a Zombies enthusiast.

If you’re all about getting into the action as soon as possible, this new playlist is just for you. Rather than hunting down enemies on large maps, Rapid Fire Moshpit brings the fight to you in a new way.

This action-packed playlist features a mix of TDM, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint across many of the smallest maps in the game.
