If you’re a fan of Treyach’s games, then chances are, you know who David Vonderhaar (or simply referred to as “Vahn”) is. For those who do not know, Vonderhaar is the studio’s Game Design Director, and is often the person harassed and quizzed by players on social media for anything related to Treyarch’s games.

While Vonderhaar usually sticks to personal tweets before a game’s out, that seems to be changing. This weekend, Vonderhaar posted a rather obscure Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 message that seems to pertain to the game’s battle royale mode, Blackout.

I’m not the best code-breaker in the world, but based on Vahn’s tweet, he’s in classified location doing “Blackout” things. And I think the “I Bet I see some of you, tho” part must reference other devs or YouTubers that are part of the playtest. The last line mentioning Purgatory for some reason makes me think of zombies, s maybe there really are zombies in the Black Ops 4 battle royale mode as mentioned in the big info leak we posted the other day?

What do you make of Vahn’s tweet? If you can decipher it better, hit us up in the comments.

In other Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 news, check out the contents of the Specialist Edition which confirms the return of gestures in mutiplayer! We also posted an in-depth video by the Digital Foundry people wherein they compare the Xbox One version of the Black Ops 4 beta to the Xbox One X version.

If you’re planning on getting a higher tiered version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and you’re not in the US, you might want to consider the “Specialist Edition.” Available in Game UK, EB Games Canada, and more, the Black Ops 4 Specialist Edition includes the following digital content.

• A Gesture
• Bonus Specialist Outfit
• 1,100 Call of Duty Points
• Calling Card
• Emblem

With gestures coming back, this must mean that the “Winner’s Circle” should be making a return again. For those not familiar with it, the Winner’s Circle showcased the top three scoring players on the winning team during which, the players shown can press buttons on the d-pad to have their character perform gestures. During the Black Ops 4 multiplayer beta, there was no Winner’s Circle, nor were any gestures featured.

Also of note, COD Points are indeed coming back which means we’re going to get loot boxes yet again.

Wow! That’s a lot of leaked stuff, no? In other Black Ops 4 news, Treyarch has said that they are “committed” to keep the battle royale Blackout mode running at 60 frames per second even if it will feature vehicles.

While Treyarch has given us a date on when we can expect the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 battle royale mode — Blackout — will drop, there’s not a lot of info to go on in terms of specifics. Well, it seems things are about to change starting today.

Speaking to PCGamer, Treyarch’s Director of Communications John Rafacz revealed that Blackout will be able to drive vehicles “by land, sea and air,” and that’ll be “well-balanced.”

There’s a range of vehicles that I think are well-balanced to match with the on-foot combat. It isn’t like you’re driving a tank, trying to fight against a dude with a scavenged submachine gun. They’re all well-balanced. We’ve been having a lot of playtests at Treyarch over the last several months getting ready for this, and it’s a blast to play. It feel great. It feels like Black Ops.

Given Treyarch’s experience in Call of Duty: World at War, gamers should be in for a treat.

In other Black Ops 4 Blackout news, don’t forget that if you were part of the multiplayer beta, you shouldn’t delete the beta client as it’ll be used for Blackout as well.
