Call of Duty’s Season 4 Reloaded update is out today, and Treyarch released patch notes, detailing more of what’s to come for Black Ops Cold War‘s Zombies and multiplayer, including a classic nuke killstreak.
Multiplayer
Along with the return of Call of Duty’s classic Capture the Flag mode and Black Ops 2’s Rush paintball map, there will be a new Cranked Moshpit mode. This new playlist will include the all-new Cranked Team Deathmatch and Cranked Kill Confirmed, which will be similar to Cranked Hardpoint from the ’80s Action Heroes event. Basically, eliminate enemies to become “Cranked” to earn buffs, and keep getting kills before your Cranked Timer runs out.
If Cranked isn’t explosive enough for you, Treyarch announced players will now be able to call in a Nuke killstreak. It won’t be a game ending streak, but it will wipe all players when the nuke detonates in all modes. However, League Play and CDL variants, Multi-Team, Party Games, and Gunfight are excluded from the nuke streak.
As of right now, a store bundle called The Tanker is showing up for an incorrect price of 2,000 CP. However, it will cost the correct price when actually purchased.
