Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout Leak Shares Information About Its Mechanics And Locations
Treyarch is still silent about the mechanics of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout. That doesn’t stop leakers though, from sharing vital information about the upcoming battle royale mode, which is releasing in October.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout leak originates from Reddit, where user Omnipotentem, posted a detailed list of information regarding the Black Ops 4 Blackout map, items, healing system and more. Here’s the whole list:
- Largest map in Call of Duty history, but lots of focus on verticality. As seen in the teaser, the map features pieces of iconic maps from previous games. Nuketown is located in the middle of the map as an island, surrounded by water, set after the nuke is dropped. The layout and theme of Nuketown in Blackout is similar to that of Nuketown Zombies from Black Ops 2.
- Aiming for at very least 50 players, currently testing 64 players right now with plans to increase if possible.
- Health is 150HP, replenished via scavengable Medical Kits. Equipping scavenged Armor allows the player to take 1 extra shot, Armor Piercing Rounds will counter the effect of Armor.
- Limited Inventory slots, increased space via scavenged Backpacks.
- Weapon loot has rarity, depending on the rarity your weapon will have different attachments (Higher Rarity = Better/More Attachments). *Subject to change, there are currently talks about attachments being scavenged rather than rarity-dependent.
- Consumable abilities such as the Multiplayer Specialist Abilities. For example, Torque’s Portable Barricade with 1x use, Ruin’s Grapple Hook with limited uses, and Nomad’s Dog which can be commanded to follow the player or guard an area.
- Equipment such as the Recon RC, an RC-XD without explosives, can be scavenged and give the player an advantage. Currently, a Monkey Bomb equipment which doesn’t explode can be found, likely a placeholder for a Decoy Grenade.
- Land, air, and sea vehicles as seen in the teaser. The ATV is the only fully-functioning vehicle in the current build.
- The Storm/Gas mechanic is currently a simple visible wall that closes in on the map.
- While players simply parachute into the map. *Subject to change, talks of moving to a spawn-in system similar to Call of Duty: Online are happening.
As you can tell, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 looks different than battle royale titles we’ve seen up until now. Treyarch has already stated that they’ll do battle royale better and bigger than its competitors, filling us with expectations of what to expect when it releases. A Blackout beta is set for September, with its date not stated yet.
