For the third time in as many days, Treyarch has released an update for Black Ops 4 that introduces some new content for Xbox One and PC players.

With the holiday season in high gear by this point, Black Ops 4 isn’t being left behind and has kicked off a few different holiday-themed activities for players to dig into. 

These holiday events went live on PlayStation 4 last week, but are now available to all players with the December 20 update.

In addition to both the Holiday Event Stream, Blackout Holiday Event, and Zombies Winter Calling the December 20 update contains a few important fixes to other aspects of the game for all players. 

The most prominent of the fixes comes in the form of the addressing of an issue that prevented certain Reactive Camos from displaying as completed and would also show up as wrapped on the ground. 

With these fixes, the newly-enable camos in Blackout should once again be working as intended. 

Other minor fixes included a Zombies specific bug that would break enemy pathing along with a Multiplayer issue that was causing a ‘hacked’ UI to show on players screens for the entire match after dying to a hacked Gunship. 

While this was surely a minor update compared to the others that dropped earlier in the week, Black Ops 4 is still riding the high of the v1.09 patch that was biggest in the game’s history. 

You can read the full December 20 patch notes below:
