Here are the patch notes for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Season One Reloaded update

Treyarch has revealed the patch notes for the big Season One Reloaded update in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which will go live tonight at 1am CT.

The full list of notes is extensive and there’s a lot to digest, but it’s mostly new content and bug fixes. The highlights are the addition of Express in multiplayer and Firebase Z in Zombies.

One of the main fixes in the update is the turning off aim assist for players who were inside of a smoke grenade. It was an unintended feature and has been removed, which is a big plus, especially for players who felt victimized by 100 percent accurate shotgun run-and-gunners.

Treyarch also decreased hip-fire accuracy when priming a grenade while sprinting, which was another unintended feature, especially with the Gung-Ho perk.

In Zombies, assault rifles, submachine guns, and the Streetsweeper shotgun have all received buffs in damage. This should be a nice addition to Firebase Z, along with its new support streaks and the return of Tombstone Soda.
