Entirely new to Zombies mode inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris that Perks that can be upgraded. Each perk has whatTreyarchis calling Skill Tiers. These are permanent upgrades for each Perk and every Perk has three different Skill Tiers. As an example, Treyarch broke down the Elemental Pop Perk’s Skill Tiers. Tier 1 grants a chance to proc a random Ammod Mod Effect on equipment, Tier 2 reduces Ammo Mod cooldowns by 20%, and Tier 3 applies the player’s Skill Tier instead of the base when a random Ammo Mod is proc’d.
Lastly, Treyarch promises that more Perks will be released in post-launch. These six Perks are just what will be available forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s first chapter ofDark Aether “Die Maschine” story.
Treyarch also takes the time to introduceCall of Dutyfans to anew Custom Loadouts feature inBlack Ops Cold War’s Zombies mode. Custom Loadouts allow players to bring all of their unlocked weapons and cosmetics from the base game and Multiplayer into Zombies. It is limited, understandably, given the structure of Zombies mode. Players can bring just a single weapon, as well as a Field Upgrade, in their Zombies loadout. The weapon will have its custom attachments and cosmetics, but starts at a basic Common rarity.
Weapon rarities will allow players to use Custom Loadouts without being overpowered, as players will still either have to upgrade their gun or swap it out for something better in order to get stronger. Needless to say, it sounds like one of the most in-depth systems that Treyarch has tried yet in itsZombies modes.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warreleases November 13 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
