A new update has been made available for Black Ops Cold War, as the Call of Duty community eagerly awaits the full reveal of Call of Duty: Vanguard later this week.
The August 17 update makes some stability adjustments to the Among Us-style Double Agent mode and adds similar stability improvements for Zombies. Additionally, the reduction in bullet velocity for the Agency Suppressor attachment dropping it from -30% to -15% that was supposed to go live last week is now represented in the game.

Now Playing: Call of Duty: Vanguard – Official Teaser Trailer
Beyond the bug fixes and balance changes, developer Treyarch said Zombies players have yet to discover a special Easter egg in Mauer der Toten that was added last week. The studio said this “little something” is “nothing crazy, just a bit of fun.” If you think you’ve discovered it, you can reach out to Treyarch on Twitter.
Looking ahead, a new secondary shotgun-style pistol weapon called Marshal is coming to Black Ops Cold War on August 18. You can unlock it by completing an in-game challenge or by purchasing it outright with real money.
The full patch notes for the August 17 Black Ops Cold War update can be seen below, as posted by Treyarch. For more, check out GameSpot’s rundown of how to unlock new Season 5 weapons like the EM2, TEC-9, and the Cane.
Activision Blizzard is currently being sued by the state of California over its culture of sexual harassment and discrimination against women. In the wake of the lawsuit, developers walked out and several high-ranking staffers were ousted from the company.
