Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Patch Notes Detail New Melee Weapon

Call of Duty Season 6 continues in Black Ops Cold War, and the November 2 patch notes detail a new melee weapon and playlist refresh will arrive with the weekly update. This new update is scheduled to release on November 2 at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET on November 3.

New Melee Weapon

The Hammer & Sickle is the last announced weapon for Black Ops Cold War. This is a dual-wield melee weapon that allows players to melee attack with both a hammer and a sickle. Unlock challenges will be available in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone when the update arrives. There will likely be a store bundle available for those who want to purchase the new weapon and avoid doing the unlock challenge, but the patch notes didn't specify the details.

Playlist Update

New modes will arrive to multiplayer, including the return of Nuketown 24/7 and the 3v3 Gunfight Snipers Only playlists. Throwback Moshpit also returns, which will feature Nuketown '84 and Cold War's remastered maps from past Black Ops games. Additionally, the 18-player Infected mode will continue this week.

Completionist Rewards

Treyarch announced new "100 Percenter" challenge rewards are coming for multiplayer, Zombies, and campaign, which are an added bonus on top of all the extra XP players have earned from completing the challenges. Players will now be rewarded with new animated calling cards when they complete 100% of all challenges in each mode, excluding the game's Dark Ops challenges.

These new calling card rewards will be awarded retroactively to any player who has completed all challenges in any given mode. This can be checked in a player's inventory under the Barracks section of Black Ops Cold War's menu.

Prestige Shop Updates

Cold War's Prestige Shop is getting new content to unlock. Players can trade in their Prestige Keys for the new "Vicarious" tactical rifle weapon blueprint, new legacy calling cards, and additional animated calling cards from previous Call of Duty games. Treyarch says players will continue to earn Prestige Keys in Black Ops Cold War at every 50 season levels after Season 6 ends and Call of Duty: Vanguard Season 1 begins.

Zombies Updates

Zombies mode is getting a few changes this week, as the Mystery Box and Trials rewards will be updated to include DLC weapons from Seasons 4 and 5. In a small change to Outbreak, players will now start the match with 1,000 Essence points, whereas the previous starting points was only 500.

The PlayStation-exclusive Onslaught Zombies mode, which offers a hectic 2-player Zombies experience on Cold War's multiplayer maps, will finally be available for Xbox and PC players with the November 2 update.

Cold War's Cinematic Outro

Black Ops Cold War wraps up a year of post-launch narrative with a final cinematic outro trailer, which reveals Adler getting his revenge on Stitch. This week's update will also include a new Cinematic Archive in the Barracks section of Cold War's menu, allowing players to watch story cinematics from previous seasons.

You can find the full list of patch notes below, as shared by Treyarch.

This is Black Ops Cold War's final season, as Call of Duty: Vanguard launches on November 5. All of this content continues for Call of Duty as Activision Blizzard faces a lawsuit from the state of California over alleged harassment and discrimination against women.
