Black Ops 7 Season 4 Patch Notes for Version 1.99
GLOBAL
RICOCHET ANTI-CHEAT
With Season 04 now live, we’re building on our anti-cheat systems to better protect players and ensure fair matches across all platforms. The following security measures are now enabled and actively enforced in-game.
Players who fail Microsoft Azure Attestation (MAA) checks will be placed into a separate matchmaking pool. To access all playlists, players must successfully complete the MAA process. Because the pool of players who haven’t passed our attestation checks is small, access is limited to a select set of playlists to help maintain healthy matchmaking.
Players who do not complete attestation will be limited to Nuketown 24/7 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Battle Royale Casual in Call of Duty: Warzone. This requirement helps protect the integrity of the game and the experience of the broader community.
How it works:
If your PC isn’t compliant, you will receive a notification that your system failed attestation, and matchmaking access will be adjusted accordingly.
If you attempt to play with party members whose PCs aren’t compliant, you will also receive a message that you’ve failed attestation because at least one party member did not meet secure attestation requirements.
To be fully compliant, your system will need:
- TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) enabled
- Secure Boot enabled
For AMD users, versions of AMD’s TPM software in the 3.x.0.x range can return an error during the attestation process, and the fix is to update the system BIOS or firmware.
If you don’t have these features enabled, you will be placed into a separate matchmaking pool. You also won’t be able to match with players whose systems meet our security requirements or with console players.
MULTIPLAYER
Modes
Black Ops Classic (New Mode)
Revisit the roots of Black Ops experience with Black Ops Classic, a curated Multiplayer mode focused on the core fundamentals.
- Simplified Gameplay: Movement is streamlined to focus on classic combat, removing advanced mechanics such as sliding, Wall Jumping, and Omnimovement, for a more grounded feel.
- Classic Loadout: Players fight using carefully selected default loadouts and custom loadouts with restrictions, emphasizing essential weapon mastery.
- Old-School Pacing: The mode is designed to deliver a slower and tactical flow.
- Iconic Maps: Battle across throwback maps including Firing Range, Raid, Nuketown, Summit, and more, bringing classic matchups into rotation.
Black Ops Classic is built to capture the nostalgia and the identity of the Black Ops series while offering a distinct way to play within Black Ops 7.

KRS-7.62 (Marksman Rifle, Battle Pass)
- Semi-auto marksman rifle. High damage and great mobility, limited by significant first shot recoil.
- Strong and steady, the KRS-7.62 offers a reliable two-hit elimination against unarmored enemies up to 25 meters out, an easy double tap when fighting up close, with a third shot required for more distant targets.
CBRS-3 (SMG, Battle Pass)
- Full-auto submachine gun with a high-capacity, rechambering magazine. Well-rounded with excellent range and recoil.

- What the VX Compact lacks in damage per shot, it makes up for with a blistering fire rate. At 25 rounds in the base magazine, this weapon chews through its supply fast, though its manageable recoil and minimal muzzle flare make tracking targets seamless.
New Attachments
LTI Stentorian Brake (Most Weapons, Battle Pass)
