Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Adding Free Map, Modes, Blackout Update, And More
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 continues to evolve, and this week the game will change once again with the addition of some delicious free content. A new map variant, mode, and event are all on the way, as well as some changes to Battle Royale game mode Blackout.
First up, a Hurricane variant of the Contraband map is coming, along with a new multiplayer game mode named Stockpile–developer Treyarch says this is a reimagining of the Black Ops 3 mode Fracture in which players must defeat opponents and deliver their dog-tags to a deposit site. Black Ops 4’s multiplayer portion is also getting a St. Patrick’s Day event named Shamrock & Awe, though it remains to be seen what this entails.
Blackout will see its map updated for spring this week, while a Hardcore game mode is also on the way. This removes armor, vehicles, zombies, and players’ HUD for a more punishing experience.
Finally, Zombies will also be updated with a new Gauntlet named Hellcatraz. The Zombies portion of Black Ops 4 will also boast host migration, which will hopefully reduce instances of games dropping out due to one player’s poor connection.
Many of the changes will go live in the next few hours, though some are exclusive to PlayStation 4 for the time being; check out the graphic above for more details on platform availability.
Black Ops 4’s Operation Grand Heist started just recently, adding a new Specialist and three weapons. Blackout gained a spooky Ghost Town area, while another Gauntlet came to Zombies.

Fortnite to Introduce an ‘Undo Purchase’ Button
Epic plans to allow Fortnite players to return a purchase made in the last five minutes – although it’s not clear when.
In a Reddit thread (via VG247) which pointed out that, unlike western versions, the Japanese version of Fortnite includes a “confirm purchase” button before payment goes through, Epic Vice President of Engineering Daniel Vogel explained the decision:
“We neither want to add friction for players,” he wrote, “nor do we want to benefit from accidental purchases or players regretting a purchase.”
