What are all the multiplayer game modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4?

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 set to release worldwide on Friday, October 12, fans have been clamoring for information on what game modes would be available when the game releases.

While fans had been made aware of new game modes like Control, there were still some questions about how many we would actually have when the game released.

Thankfully, there are 13 game modes available to play on release; eight in Black Ops 4’s core playlist, and five featured in the game’s Hardcore playlist.

In the core playlist, fan favourite modes like Hardpoint and Team Deathmatch remain as staples of the Call of Duty franchise, joined by two new modes for Black Ops 4, Heist and Control. The full list of Core game modes are:

  • Control
  • Heist
  • Free for All
  • Kill Confirmed
  • Search and Destroy
  • Domination
  • Hardpoint
  • Team Deathmatch

In Hardcore, they are currently five game modes for players to try out, as classic core game modes become extremely unforgiving, with limited health and no HUD to help players navigate their way around the map. Game modes featured in the Hardcore playlist are:

  • HC Free For All
  • HC TDM
  • HC Kill Confirmed
  • HC Domination
  • HC Search and Destroy
