Here’s an interesting twist: Activision has today announced Black Ops Cold War new content, and nope, it’s not cosmetic bundles or anything, but in the form of a new map (sort of) and a new weapon! And yes, the new content is free for everyone, and is set to be available tomorrow.

According to Activision, a new update will be released tomorrow (wasn’t specified whether this is a server-side or client-side update) that will bring in the WMD map from Black Ops 1, and the all-new assault rifle the Vargo 52.

Black Ops Cold War New Content for 2022 Details:

General Layout of WMD:

At match start, teams spawn on the left- and right-hand sides of the map, with the left giving immediate access to the Crane and Research power positions and the right side giving immediate access to Silo, Shipment, and Production. The top and bottom paths are equally accessible to both teams.

Many objective modes feature locations on the ground floor in particularly vulnerable areas, considering the map’s many vantage points. A variety of objects offer cover when traveling these high-risk paths, which savvy Operators will certainly take note of when it comes time to push the attack.

Vargo 52 – How to Unlock:

The Vargo 52 is one mean weapon, and it’s particularly effective where versatile equipment reigns – and in Zombies, it can be one of the most devastating assault rifles in the game with the right suite of attachments. Here’s its in-game description: Full-auto assault rifle. Good damage at mid-range with a fast fire rate. Improved muzzle velocity and reliable handling for steady firing control.

And here’s how to unlock the base version in Multiplayer and Zombies:

In Multiplayer:

Using Assault Rifles, deal 1000 damage in 15 different completed matches.

In Zombies:

Eliminate 750 enemies while using an Assault Rifle that has been Pack-a-Punched three times.

Top Tips

1. Down a Touch. Featuring a predictable upward recoil pattern, it takes just a slight downward press to maintain a straight shot through sustained fire. This is great for long sightlines allowing you, with practice, to be just as lethal at distant fights as you are in midrange battles.
2. Barrel and a Flashlight. Further improve the Vargo 52’s effectiveness at range by combining the 17.1” VDV Reinforced Barrel attachment paired with a body attachment that increases enemy Reveal Distance. You’ll get a big boost to your effective damage range and bullet velocity, and you’ll see targets at a greater distance when aiming down sights, perfect for dislodging those pesky snipers.
3. More Rounds, Please. As a fast-firing weapon, it’s easy to chew through your ammo reserves in the heat of battle. You can tackle that issue in a number of ways, either through the Danger Close Wildcard, the Assault Pack Field Upgrade, the Scavenger Perk, or a Magazine attachment that offers more starting ammo. Take your pick and stay in the fight.

There’s also a new weapon bundle set to be released tomorrow called the “Ferrofluid” Weapon Blueprint as part of the “Tracer Pack: Ferro Fury Reactive Mastercraft” Bundle, which is set to go live tomorrow, March 4, too. If you’re interested in snagging that, the bundle will include the following:

• The “Viscosideath” LMG Blueprint
• The “Liquid Metal” SMG Blueprint
• “Bullet Magnet” Charm
• “Cranial Magnetism” animated Calling Card
• The “Ferro-Charlie” Sticker
• The “Spiked” Reticle
• The “Fluid Manipulation” Gesture.

If there is a title update out for this new content, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. Speaking of updates, a new server-side one was released for Warzone that introduced a nunber of fixes.
