Patch Update 1.11 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 live now

Keshav Bhat

The latest patch update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, version 1.11, is live now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and coming later this week on PC. All platforms will get a Game Settings Update today.

Version 1.11 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 brings new features for Zombies players, many of which are first on PS4. The new Gauntlets mode is now available for PS4 players in Black Ops 4 Zombies. Alongside this, the patch update brings a much requested looting update for consoles in Blackout with a new 3 row menu at the bottom of the screen.

This patch also brings the Black Ops Pass MP maps into the regular rotation for those who own the Pass. The full patch notes for today’s update is available below.

From Treyarch:

Our 1.11 update begins rolling out today, kicking off at 10AM PT today on consoles and coming to PC later this week. All three modes get even bigger in this update with the debut of Gauntlets and new Elixirs in Zombies on PS4, a new week of Featured Playlists and the addition of Elevation and Madagascar to map rotation for Black Ops Pass owners in MP, our new-and-improved console looting interface in Blackout, and much more.

We’re also celebrating 115 Day with our Zombies community with Zombies 2XP, Zombies 2X Weapon XP, and 2X Nebulium Plasma today through 10AM PT Jan. 18 on all platforms! Zombies gets plenty of love this week with our new “Unsinkable” Gauntlet and new Elixirs (Perk Up, Refresh Mint, and Conflagration Liquidation), Elixir balance updates, adjustments to PhD Slider and those pesky Crimson Nosferatu, tons of improvements to gameplay and stability, and more. The list of updates is long, so check out the patch notes below and hit up our Jan. 11 community update for the lowdown on Gauntlets if you aren’t already caught up.

Be on the lookout for our 115 Day Treyarch Blog today as well, including details on this week’s updates, a look at what to expect in the near future with our 1.12 update, and a preview of the new features and content coming to Black Ops 4 Zombies over the coming months. We have big plans for Zombies in 2019, and we’re excited to share more when Zombies Director Jason Blundell stops by later today on Twitter.

Today’s new looting interface update on consoles in Blackout is also a big next step in our battle royale experience. This multi-row grid approach makes it much easier for players to loot their enemies and get back into the fight, and we’re eager to hear your feedback on the new system. We’ve also reduced the number of Concussion grenades in an inventory stack to 1 to help reduce the frequency of Concussions in the field, so drop into a match, loot away, and let us know what you think in the comments below.
