Just after Treyarch announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players could take part in some new playlists and would benefit from twice the Battle Pass XP, the studio released a full set of patch notes for Tuesday's update. Much of the patch notes is comprised of what we already saw before like the extra experience when gained when working through the battle pass, but there are a few other changes in effect to close exploits and adjust different modes now that the patch has gone live.

The patch notes for the update aren't as lengthy as the ones attached to updates players got closer to the start of Season One, but they do have more details on things like the daily challenges that are now live in the game's main modes. The playlist updates also apply to those who are playing Black Ops Cold War through the free-play period, so you'll benefit from these playlist changes as well.

You can see the full notes for Black Ops Cold War's latest update below.

Global

Daily Challenges
