Black Ops 4 May 14 update patch notes \u2013 changes to Ambush, return date for Hot Pursuit, and more Treyarch is bringing tons of ways to play Black Ops 4 with the May 14 patch that\u2019ll be updating some fan-favorite modes in the game while also hyping up the awaited return of Hot Pursuit to the Blackout arena. The entire Call of Duty community can immediately descend onto the game\u2019s latest playlists with the patch landing on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. But it seems like everyone will have to wait a little while longer to get into the Barbones Deathmatch Moshpit, as Treyarch confirmed it will releasing soon but not with the May 14 patch. New and improved Ambush coming to Blackout While Call of Duty players are sure to be excited about Ambush coming back to Blackout, they should be aware that it won\u2019t be the same mode they\u2019ve seen before. Players won\u2019t have access to equipment like the Cluster or Concussion Grenades anymore, while SDM has also been removed. Similarly, the ATV and ARAV won\u2019t be available in Ambush so no quick getaways. This time around Ambush is going to feature Snipers, Shotguns and Bowie Knives only, giving players the change to compete at both extremes on the spectrum: up close or far away. Ambush is back in #Blackout this week with new rules: \u2022 Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, and Bowie Knife only \u2022 Final circle always ends in an open location \u2022 SDM removed \u2022 Concussion Grenade and Cluster Grenade removed \u2022 ATV and ARAV removedDetails: https:\/\/t.co\/6EKjgicHlU pic.twitter.com\/ARjQ60G8JT \u2014 Treyarch Studios (@Treyarch) May 14, 2019 Barebones Deathmatch Moshpit release date It\u2019s no secret that Barebones would be a hit in Black Ops 4. Since controversial Specialists Weapons and the like have been roaming around the game, players have been loving the straightforward chaos that Barebones provides. With that in mind, Kill Confirm and Team Deathmatch will be joining the ranks of previous modes that have been given the Barebones treatment. The new Barebones variants will be landing on the Black Ops 4 servers on Friday, May 17 at 10 am PST for players to enjoy. Hot Pursuit is coming back to Blackout Even though Operation Grand Heist has come and gone, Treyarch has heard its players\u2019 call to have Hot Pursuit rejoin the Blackout playlists. The company has yet to outline when they\u2019re going to be releasing the mode once again but didn\u2019t go into specifics saying the mode will \u201cmake its way back into rotation later this month.\u201d This is incredible news for players who\u2019ve been missing the dynamic action unique to the mode, and will have another chance to get into the game mode. This weeks going to be giving players tons of ways to frag out in Black Ops 4 while mixing with tried and true formulas to shake things up a bit. While a lot of the update\u2019s contents are dropping immediately, some will take a bit longer to land on the servers.
