Black Ops 4 v1.08 update dropped on December 3 – Full patch notes

For the first time in almost a week, a brand-new Black Ops 4 patch has been released. 

Treyarch has been putting out multiple updates during the first couple of months since the release of Black Ops 4, but the last major update came on November 27. 

On December 3, a huge update was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users. The patch weighs in at just over 14GB on PS4 and 22GB on Xbox One.

One of the biggest focuses of this update was gameplay and stability improvements in all three game modes. 

As such, a long list of improvements for Multiplayer, Zombies, and Blackout were included that should allow players to breath easy once again. 

Specific to Multiplayer, spawn adjustments have been made to Hardpoint, which has drawn the ire of various pro players with CWL Vegas just days away. 

You can read the full patch notes for December 3’s v1.08 update below:

Dec. 3 Update: 1.08 Title Update – MP and Zombies Stability, Spawn and Scorestreak Adjustments, Challenge Fixes, CWL Custom Game Adjustments, Blackout HUD Updates + more

Today’s 1.08 title update is all about gameplay and stability improvements across all three modes, as we set the stage for an even bigger update next week. Stay tuned for the intel on everything new coming soon to Multiplayer, Zombies, and Blackout.

In Multiplayer, we’ve implemented a round of stability updates for a smoother online experience, including fixes for crashes related to specific modes, Scorestreaks, and Specialists that could affect players at various points in MP matches. We’ve also adjusted Hardpoint spawns, tweaked the Care Package and Hellstorm Scorestreaks, updated CWL Custom Game rules, addressed various Challenge issues, and more. See below for the full patch notes for all the new details.

We’ve added a host of stability improvements in Zombies to prepare for next week’s big update, including new crash fixes specific to each map and additional fixes across the board. Stay tuned for more information on what’s in store for the Black Ops 4 Zombies experience starting next week.

For our Blackout players: prepare for big changes coming to the game. We’ve got an extensive set of features, events, and more surprises planned for the future of Blackout, and we’re excited to share more details on everything coming in our next update in a dedicated post later this week. In the meantime, we’ve added enemy Calling Card, Emblem, and Echelon information to the player HUD and Killcams in today’s update, and we’re bringing the Zombies Origins Character Missions and the Blightfather event to our Xbox One and PC players tomorrow!
