A new Black Ops 4 Double XP weekend has been announced by Activision and Treyarch Studios.
The first 2XP Weekend begins today and will also be released with 2XP Nebulium Plasma in Zombies Mode.
More details are expected to be announced soon by the development team, who have been busy launching a new update today.
This is currently available on PS4 and PC, with Xbox one expected to follow later.
One part of the new update will be bringing the Black Market to Black Ops 4.
The returning feature will be available first on PS4, followed by Xbox One next week.
The Black Market provides mainly cosmetic items for players and goes live today, October 19.
Here’s what Treyarch says about the new content, which includes a “Contraband Stream.”
“The Contraband stream in the Black Market provides a progression path to earn the items you want simply by playing the game.
“That means a ton of new ways to show off your personal style. Contraband items will be delivered through seasonal Operations, with each Operation delivering a new batch of content every couple of months.
“Operation First Strike delivers the first season of content starting today on PS4. These Operations bring a ton of great gear and items that everyone can access”
OPERATIONS – VIA TREYARCH ANNOUNCEMENT
- All-New Blackout Characters- New playable characters will be released with each new Operation.
- Signature Weapons
- Specialists Outfits – Cool customization content built around themes for all Specialists in-game; you can even mix and match the look of your character within outfit sets.
- Tags / Gestures – Whether you’re taunting opponents or celebrating a victory, Tags and Gestures are a perfect way to express yourself in the game.
- These rewards provide the ultimate way to show off to friends and express yourself in Multiplayer and Blackout.
There will also be limited-time Black Market Special Events, like the free Halloween-themed Special Event stream going live tomorrow.
Treyarch says this is the first of many Special Events that will be hosted in the future, although all will only be available for a certain amount of time.
Finally, there is Blackjack’s Shop coming online in November. This is the place to go for the direct purchase of certain pieces of gear with limited availability. The shop refreshes weekly with a variety of Items and gives players another way to get cool content.
It’s unclear when the new Call of Duty Black Ops 4 update with the bugfixes will arrive on Xbox One, as Treyarch has not provided any further details.
