With the new Black Ops 4 patch we’ve received some changes to both Ground War and Zombies. 

The Ground War changes come as a result of player feedback and it gives the game mode a wider starting zone and a shorter period of time before the first zone collapse. A bug that allowed players to fall through the ground has also been fixed.

The Zombies changes fix a health regen bug on Round 21 in “Hellcatraz” that was reported to Treyarch by the community.

Updates to the main Cellhouse building have also been made so be sure to give those a look the next time you drop into Alcatraz.
