On October 30, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Update 1.04 was released for PS4 and Xbox One. The Black Ops 4 update for PC follows on October 31. Along with numerous adjustments and fixes, the popular and widely requested mode Gun Game is also included.
Fans of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 can now enjoy a week of a classic Call of Duty mode that has been missing from Black Ops 4 – Gun Game. But how does this mode work and what makes it special?
Black Ops 4 Update brings Gun Game back – Here’s what you need to know
What is Gun Game? Gun Game is a classic mode in the regular multiplayer of Black Ops 4, which has appeared in numerous Call of Duty titles and is very popular among fans.
How does Gun Game work? The principle is simply explained: Six players compete against each other in a free-for-all format. Particularly solo players will benefit here. Group formation is not possible.
Players only have a predetermined weapon available. After each kill, they receive another predetermined weapon from a specific list, through which they have to work their way up to the last weapon.
The first player to reach the last weapon and achieve a kill with it wins. Melee kills do not count towards your own progress, but the victim is pushed back to their previous weapon.
What makes Gun Game special? In most modes, players can customize their loadout according to their own play style. Many fans often use their favorite weapons or adapt according to the meta.
In Gun Game, however, you must prove yourself with a wide array of weapons if you want to win. This includes weapons that you absolutely dislike and normally wouldn’t use. This requires an extra portion of skill, which makes the mode so popular among many fans.
How long is Gun Game available? Currently, Gun Game is a featured playlist that is active from October 30th until 7 PM on November 6th. Whether the mode will return again in the featured playlist rotation or even be permanently included in the traditional multiplayer of Black Ops 4 is not yet known.
Caution: On PC, this mode will go live on October 31 at 7 PM. PC players will therefore have one day less to spend in this playlist.
Where can I find Gun Game? You can select Gun Game directly from the main menu of Black Ops 4, where you can also visit the Black Market.
What do the fans say? Many players have already requested the return of this popular mode in Black Ops 4. Accordingly, fans are now very happy that the developers have quickly responded to their request. Many want the mode to stay permanently.
Particularly solo players are excited that they now have another opportunity to let loose as a lone wolf, in addition to the Mercenary Playlist.
Have you already tried Gun Game or are you familiar with it from previous Call of Duty titles? What do you think of this mode?
