Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has finally received its long-awaited “sniper” update, due to the new addition of powerful weapons arriving in the game. The new ZRG 20mm sniper rifle is probably the fans’ most favorite weapon from the arsenal at this moment, as it has already reached Black Ops Cold War’s arsenal.
The heavy duty ZRG 20MM sniper rifle is now available in both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. This is the sixth new weapon arriving in Season two. Having a large caliber shooting 20mm rounds means a lot, especially when it comes to the last man standing battlefield, where having a one-shot punch is very much mandatory.
Furthermore, the game has received new Zombie stability improvements in Outbreak, new gameplay updates in Dead Ops Arcade 3 and Onslaught, out-of-bounds Miami Strike fixes, increased damage of the RC-XD, and more.
Below you can find the complete patch notes as posted by Treyarch.
