In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , it seems the developers are taking a few tricks from Fortnite. Mysterious items appear in the Blackout mode. Players interpret them as clues about a new change to the map.
These items have been found: Since the last update, new items have appeared in Black Ops 4. It’s about two mysterious objects that have been found on the huge Blackout map:
- A lollipop – reminiscent of the “Black Ops 2” map, Buried
- and a clock that likely references the “Black Ops 3” map, “Outlaw”
Is a Western Town with Zombies Coming to Black Ops 4?
Here’s the interesting part: Both “Buried” and “Outlaw” were maps in a “Western” setting. Therefore, fans now suspect that part of the Blackout map could transform into a sort of “Western town” – likely with zombie influences.
It also fits the theory that Black Ops 4 posted a map with a large X on Twitter.
A Major Change Could Come to Black Ops 4 on Tuesday
When could this happen? The current “Operation” in Black Ops 4 ends on February 18. Therefore, it is expected that something will happen in Black Ops 4 on February 19.
Here’s what it involves: The map, potential changes to it, or even completely new maps are a major topic in battle royale games.
A battle royale mode thrives on regular map changes to keep the game fresh for weeks and months. So far, not much has changed in the Blackout of Black Ops 4, and players criticize that too.
Fortnite developers Epic are known for announcing bigger changes on the map through hints and small clues in the game.
In Fortnite, thousands discussed for weeks in April 2018 what a mysterious comet would bring in terms of changes to the map.
Apparently, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 also intends to build suspense among fans and make them discuss potential changes to the map.
We had already asked on MeinMMO before the release of Black Ops 4, whether Treyarch would take some cues from Fortnite. It looks like that is the plan to keep the discussion about Black Ops 4 alive.
