There are a lot of complicated elements in the game that is Call of Duty Black Ops 4. Even with no singleplayer mode, it is a very diverse and intricate system. And because it’s being played by millions, a whole bunch of opinions are being thrown at developer Treyarch, and one of the biggest ones is that of the Black Market needing changing. Well, gamers are getting their wish, for the upcoming content update for the title will include a revamp/overhaul of the Black Market.
This was revealed in a blog post detailing Operation Absolute Zero:
The Black Market has been newly revamped for the launch of Operation Absolute Zero to streamline the system, make Tier progression simpler and more rewarding, and add new types of content that have been commonly requested from the community. Players have also asked for the ability to mix and match Warpaints with different outfits, and gain access to Warpaints without having to own a corresponding outfit. Starting December 11, we’re bringing all of this… and then some. The new Contraband stream kicks off with 100 Tiers designed to deliver a more diverse and exciting collection of items to earn, with themes built around every 25 Tiers and more opportunities to use personalization items in new ways.
Some of the things you can expect in the Black Ops 4 overhaul for the Black Market is:
- 100 Clearly Defined Tiers: We’ve streamlined the progression experience by reducing the initial Tier showcase from 200 to 100. Every reward for the first 100 Tiers can be previewed in the Black Market right off the bat, so you can always track your progress toward your next favorite new item.
- New Earnable Weapons: We’re introducing our first batch of new earnable weapons in the Operation Contraband stream to deploy in your Multiplayer loadouts, including the Daemon 3XB SMG, SWAT RFT assault rifle, and Secret Santa melee weapon.
- New Specialist Unlock: Operation Absolute Zero begins in the Black Market with our new Specialist, Zero, unlockable at Tier 1 for use in Multiplayer and Blackout.
