Black Ops 4 December 13 update brings v1.09 patch to PC \u2013 Patch notes While console players have been enjoying the v1.09 patch for Black Ops 4 since December 10, the December 13 update brings the patch to PC players at long last. Black Ops 4 has received many updates and patches since its release on October 12, but none have been as large and expansive as the v1.09 update. PC players are now able to dive in and discover what\u2019s new with the latest patch, while console players got a few new surprises with the December 13 update. With PC getting the newest update a few days after the console folk did, Treyarch was sure to include a message detailing why the PC patches tend to be delayed when major updates are released. Because we\u2019ve made PC a priority this year with a dedicated studio team and more support for PC-exclusive options and features than ever before, we\u2019re committed to taking the time to make sure each update is thoroughly tuned and tested before we release each update on PC. This will typically require a later release time for PC compared to its console counterparts, and we\u2019ll always target a release window of within 24 hours of a console patch. The v1.09 patch notes for PC players were largely similar to the console notes, with PC players having the ability to bind their Armor Repair action in Blackout to a specific key. The new Winter Event Stream in the Black Market and Winter Calling event in Zombies also went live for PS4 players on December 13.

You can read the full patch notes below: Dec. 13 Update: Holiday Event in Blackout \/ Winter Calling in Zombies \/ Winter Event Stream for MP and Blackout on PS4, PC 1.09 Update, Special Events this Weekend Happy holidays from Treyarch! Today, we\u2019ve kicked off our Holiday Event in Blackout, our Winter Event stream in the Black Market, and the new Winter Calling in Zombies first on PS4 \u2013 and to celebrate, we\u2019re giving players on all platforms 2XP in MP and Zombies and 2X Merits in Blackout all weekend long starting tomorrow, Dec. 14 at 10AM PT! We\u2019re also happy to announce our newest limited-time mode in Blackout: Close Quarters Frenzy is coming to all platforms this weekend, Dec. 14-17 10AM PT! Fight to outlast a faster Collapse using close-quarters weapons \u2013 shotguns, SMGs, pistols, and melee are your only means of survival. Good luck out there. We\u2019ve also launched our PC 1.09 update today, with full patch notes below including new PC-specific Blackout adjustments. A quick note on PC release schedules: Because we\u2019ve made PC a priority this year with a dedicated studio team and more support for PC-exclusive options and features than ever before, we\u2019re committed to taking the time to make sure each update is thoroughly tuned and tested before we release each update on PC. This will typically require a later release time for PC compared to its console counterparts, and we\u2019ll always target a release window of within 24 hours of a console patch. In the case of bigger title updates, such as this week\u2019s massive 1.09 update (as opposed to smaller game settings changes), it can take longer than 24 hours to thoroughly test and approve new PC content, especially when there are additional PC-exclusive changes included. Even one change specific to the PC version can introduce new bugs that often prove tricky to nail down and squash. This was the case in 1.09, and the driving factor behind this update going live on a Thursday. We hope this look behind the curtain provides more insight into the release process behind PC updates and (just some of) the reasons why updates will rarely release across all platforms at the exact same time. Thanks for your patience, PC players \u2013 2019 is looking to be a stellar year for Black Ops 4 on PC. In case you missed it on Tuesday, we sat down with some special developer guests in our Operation Absolute Zero Studio Livestream to discuss some of the new features and content with our 1.09 update and the new Operation, as well as some details on our new MP maps and Zombies experience for Black Ops Pass holders and a sneak peek at our upcoming studio intel video series, DECLASSIFIED. Watch the full recording here to get all caught up. Finally, we\u2019re aware of an in-game issue with some previously-acquired Warpaints not displaying in the Personalization menu, and are actively working on a fix for an upcoming update. Hang tight!
