What is Hot Pursuit?

There’s a reason Hot Pursuit is one of the more popular modes in Black Ops 4 and that’s simply because it’s a lot of fun.

Hot Pursuit puts a spin on Blackout by making it somewhat a variation of cops and robbers. Police vehicles come built with a sensor dart while muscle cars will be able to detect stashes and supply drops, which are both more frequent with this mode.

The storm circle closes a lot faster in this mode which makes the action more fast-paced and frantic, but also gives players an option to respawn. If you have a teammate still alive at the end of a collapse round, you will revive.

For those who don’t own Call of Duty Black Ops 4, you’re in luck if you want to try out this mode as the Blackout playlist has been made free for the entire month of April across all platforms
