Now that it’s officially out,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris being embraced by theCall of Dutycrowd. That doesn’t mean it’s without problems though, includingglitches in its Zombies modethat players have been using to boost their weapon levels.
Zombies is a time-honored tradition inCall of Dutyby this point, and has been since debuting inCall of Duty: World at War. The mode inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warhas come a long way since then, both in complexity and its strange storyline. However, it’s been troubled lately with a problem that seemed to have no easy solution regarding weapon XP.

The problem is, quite simply, that Zombies mode awards a dismal amount of weapon XP. Players have been complaining about the problem for a while, but it’s only part of a larger problem. The weapons inCold Wartake longer to level up in general than in previous titles. While Zombies and Multiplayer weapon XP are one and the same, it still takes a long time to level up the weapons. Fortunately, Treyarchannounced a fix for the Zombie weapon XP problem was coming, and now it has finally come to pass.
Treyarch’s solution was to simply raise the amount of XP earned by players in Zombies. It seems simple, but it reverses a decision Treyarch made earlier this month. On November 24, a patch reduced the XP gained by players, leading to playersresorting to exploits in Zombies modeto level up their weapons. With this newest patch, the XP earned has been raised in both Zombies mode and Multiplayer. Hopefully, weapon progression will be smoother and faster this way, and players will no longer have to hunt for alternative XP measures.
This was the major point addressed by the patch, but it wasn’t the only one. The patch also addressed a bug that allowedCold Warplayers to go out of bounds in Nuketown. Out of bounds bugs can be really obnoxious, so it’s good this one was fixed so quickly.
Thanks to the additional XP, players will be able to fully enjoy Zombies mode without having to worry about grinding for their perfect loadout. Now they can get back to hunting down the myriadZombies mode Easter eggsthat come standard with everyCall of Dutyzombies mode at this point.
