AsBlack Ops Cold Warapproaches the midpoint of Season 1, there are a number of maps, game modes, and extra content to explore.Season 1 Reloaded is out now, with some additional pieces to fall into place in a few weeks time. As with previous mid-season updates, a Double XP event is also on the way, starting on Friday, January 15 and going until Tuesday, January 19. This time around it will be a Double Weapon XP event taking place in bothBlack Ops Cold WarandWarzone.
The timing is perfect for players who are looking for a new gun to use now that the DMR is not ruining the meta.There are a number of underratedWarzoneloadoutsthat could become more viable, so giving players a chance to level up some of these weapons is great.
After a tumultuous launch that saw the return of a number of glitches that many hoped would never reappear, like the infamous Stim Glitch, it seems developers Treyarch and Raven Software are starting to get a handle on the situation. The developers are addressing issues faster, and this new content seems to be exciting for players. In particular, many fans are interested in the new Sanatorium map, which some speculate will be apart of the newWarzonebattle royale mapexpected to launch in March.
Along with the Double Weapon XP event this weekend,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris also opening up its Zombies mode for all to try out for a week. One of the staples of the Treyarch-developedCODtitles, Zombies is a big draw for many, and offering a free trial is likely a moveto get folks to buyBlack Ops Cold Warwhich is lagging in sales just a bit, compared to last year’s Modern Warfare.
A Double Weapon XP weekend usually brings back a good chunk of the player base, so expect a busy weekend in multiplayer andWarzone.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
