CoD Black Ops Cold War May 6 Update Patch Notes:
Enter the Jungle
Deploy to Vietnam in this return of a Black Ops series classic. First introduced in the original Call of Duty®: Black Ops, Jungle has subsequently been featured in nearly every title of the series. A large 6v6 Multiplayer map, the environment consists of a low-lying river abutting a military base, ruins, and village.
Vantage points abound throughout, and its loose three lane structure provides plentiful maneuvering for the opportunistic Operator. Here’s what you need to know, whether you’re deploying here for the first time or returning as a grizzled veteran.
Top 3 Tips
- All Eyes on River. Whether looking down from the western Ruins, the center Bridge and Tunnel, or the east-facing Lookout, there are plenty of vantage points covering the main River path. Learn the various points so you can utilize them to your own advantage when targeting enemies in the water, and so you know where to look when making the dangerous crossing yourself.
- Smoke Out. When you need to push in uncertain territory, a Smoke Grenade can make a world of difference between getting eliminated and confusing the enemy position. Pair it with the Cold Blooded Perk if you notice any Thermals at work on the enemy team. A great way to neutralize snipers when traveling through low-lying areas.
- Clear the Skies with Uncle SAM. Scorestreaks can do a lot of damage here, so do what you can to make sure it’s your team’s Scorestreaks inflicting the pain. Equip the SAM Turret Field Upgrade to counter enemy air Scorestreaks and player-piloted helicopters. Considering Jungle’s large size, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a safe place to plant it.
The UGR SMG
The UGR is accurate and deadly, firing steel darts that penetrate even the thickest armory. Use Gunsmith to outfit the SMG into a short-range powerhouse or a mid-range precision tool. In either form, you can count on its accuracy and handling to see you through the toughest situations. Here’s its in-game description: Full-auto submachine gun. Underwater rifle modified for improved land performance. Fires 5.56mm steel darts with moderate bullet velocity.
And here’s how to unlock the base version in Multiplayer and Zombies:
In Multiplayer:
Using an SMG, kill an enemy revealed by your Spy Plane, UAV, or Field Mic in 15 different completed matches.
In Zombies:
Eliminate 1000 enemies while using an Epic rarity or better SMG.
Introducing Lazar
A major character from the Black Ops Cold War Campaign, Lazar was handpicked by Russell Adler himself to help track down Perseus and disrupt his network of spies. He now brings his unmatched skills to Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer and Warzone™. Here’s what we know:
