1.18 Update

Our 1.18 update is now live on PC, including Contracts in all modes, Hacienda Twilight in MP rotation, Medals and Humiliations in Blackout, additional Prop Hunt and Capture the Flag maps, weapon tuning updates, a fix for MKII Weapon progression, and more. Check out the patch notes below for the details.

Quickplay Playlists

To help reduce wait times on PC, we’ve also added the new Quickplay playlist to Multiplayer and Blackout. This playlist will place players into any lobby that is closest to being full, so you’ll be able to jump into a new match as quickly as possible.

Weapon Tuning

In addition to tuning changes to the MOG 12, Daemon 3XB, and Switchblade X9 this week, we’ve made a PC-specific tuning change to the Vendetta sniper rifle’s headshot damage multiplier. With this update, headshots with the Vendetta will no longer kill targets in one shot on PC.

Here’s what’s new in today’s update:

Update 1.16.1 indeed addressed mouse sensitivity issues for some players. Many thanks to the community who reached out and helped us track this one down.

Any update on this issue?

Investigation continues, but we believe we have narrowed it down. Player reports and information were greatly appreciated by the team. I'll update when I have a better window for the fix.

Thank you for tagging! We're currently investigating and the below questions can help us narrow it down.

What model mouse do you have?

Do you use your mouse's first party software?

What DPI was your mouse set to?

What in-game sensitivity do you use?

Have you made changes to DPI or in-game sensitivity to accommodate?

Are you using Windows 7, 8.1, or 10?

In the case of major game updates like this one, it can take longer than 24 hours to thoroughly test and approve new PC content. This is a special case, as this update includes the launch of "Ancient Evil" in Zombies and additional content in all modes.

I see okay thank you for the help, hopefully for standard updates though we may not have to wait as long as the last update didn’t include any major content drops to my knowledge but thank you for the reply!

Our previous update required additional time to test as we combined two separate updates into a single and introduced new Blackout specific quality-of-life improvements. Here's a summary and link of the previous update.

PC 1.14 Update

Our PC 1.14 update is now live today with several PC-exclusive additions and quality-of-life improvements – scroll down below and search for “[PC only]” in the PC section of the patch notes to see what’s exclusive to PC players. A big part of today’s PC update improves the Inventory system in Blackout, including the following changes:

Attachments can now be moved from one weapon directly to the other with the Middle Mouse Button.

Attachments can now go from Inventory or Stashes directly to a stowed weapon with the Middle Mouse Button.

Players can now "Swap and Attach" weapons found in a Stash with the Middle Mouse Button.

We’ve also added new interactions with consumables in Blackout for easier management:

Can you share what times you're searching / playing? Thank you for sharing your feedback!

This wasn't a "special case" though, this is literally every update. They used to be only a couple days late, but this will be the second one in a row that's a week late.

Our previous update required additional time to test as we combined two separate updates into a single and introduced new Blackout specific quality-of-life improvements.

That said, I understand your concern regarding update release timing. Thank you for the feedback.

Oh boy. A bug...surely!?

u/TreyarchPC

Indeed. - Our team is aware and working on a fix.

The removal of Core Objective Moshpit was not intended. The team is currently working on a fix.

Hello! This is an unintentional issue and will be fixed.

Thank you for tagging! Will send to the appropriate team.

Thank you for putting this post together. I have the following points to share back.

• Weapon and Specialist Tuning: These are items I will share with the team.
• Daily / Weekly / Community Challenges: Understandable requests. I don't have anything to share about this type of request, but I'll pass it along.
• Paint Shop Customization: These are items I have passed along and will continue to pass along.
• Contraband Content: This is feedback we see across the spectrum. Nothing to share other than the feedback is seen.
• Communication: Studio members, in various capacities, engage often across a number of accounts and mediums. We're also listening more often than not.
• Update Delays: This is something we've spoken to before. Recent delays saw us combine multiple updates into one, which prevented collision issues present on console from entering the PC space, and extended testing.
• Exclusivity Deals: This is a business decision I am not at liberty to speak to.

Jukes!

Our next Curated Playlists update arrives tomorrow, April 16^th, and we plan to include the following changes.

Match Start Requirements

To further improve wait times in non-peak hours, we are reducing the minimum number of players required to start a match in the following Moshpits: Core Mercenary Deathmatch, Core Objective, Hardcore Deathmatch, and Hardcore Objective.

We believe this will help players across all regions and time zones get into matches quicker to spend more time playing. We will continue to monitor your feedback and watch the wait time data.

New Lone Wolf Moshpit

Whether you're an army of one or waiting for your crew, we believe this new playlist will fit right into your schedule. We're blending Free For All, One In The Chamber, Gun Game, and Heist together into our brand new Lone Wolf playlist. No parties allowed.

Read on below for more details:

• Core Playlist Availability
  • Team Deathmatch
  • Search & Destroy
  • Mercenary Deathmatch Moshpit

Is barebones staying?

Yes. Barebones is staying.

[deleted]

i was 690-ish & stuck there for a weeks before you added bare bones & after bare bones, i'm now 775. i almost ranked up 100 times because of how good it felt to play. it looks like you're removing it from what i read & i'm sorry but you guys have lost your minds at treyarch. you were just starting to add great things to bo4 & now you're taking it away & will be adding even more specialists. like.. are you guys high or something? This is what made people leave. I even tried playing a match on PS4 & raged so hard because of the bs cheese.. it's what made me not want to even touch this game..when i took so long off. i'm beating a dead horse. barebones is the only reason i still played. it's the only playlist i stayed in. omg..

Barebones currently lives in our Featured playlist rotation and will remain there for the time being. You will see it there tomorrow alongside Infected.

If barebones gets removed, I won't be playing anymore.

Happy to report that you will see it in the Featured section tomorrow alongside Infected.
