Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout now has a new map thanks to the Wetworks update that was implemented on April 30th by the way of Operation Spectre Rising. Hydro Facility — a giant hydroelectric dam, inspired by Faze Censor Hydro from Black Ops 2, this is a massive water plant on the northeast area of the map. This change of pace may take a while for Call of Duty veterans to adjust to, but it also feeds into the high-stakes nature of combat in battle royale games since one small mistake can cost you an entire match.

Every weapon has an Ammo type associated with it. You can keep track on the Inventory Menu display. Minimise the amount of time you spend out in the open, as this is the easiest way for the other players to pick you off. If you want to land in an area with a lot of traffic, land in Construction Site or Firing Range for the first few rounds to get a hold onto the gameplay, and learn to be competitive in the game.

Health drops are surprisingly severe for running out of breath underwater - you can't stay down there for more than a few seconds at a time. With Blackout though, players are equipped with wingsuits that allow you to glide through the air. The blue beams that are in the sky of Call of Duty Blackout Battle Royale are special boxes.

Black Ops 4 has come in a bundle with a brand new game mode called Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout which is the first ever take of a Battle Royale game in the Call of Duty series by Activision. The classic Call of Duty multiplayer modes return, but the game is far more focused on multiplayer than ever before, shedding the single-player campaign that previous entries have offered.

Even in a 1v1, being in a building doesn't offer you any advantages: most walls can be shot through, grenades can be thrown in, and Blackout is only playable in first-person so there's none of the peeker's advantage you can get in a third-person shooter.

Black Op 4 is the first game in the COD series to adopt the popular Battle Royale game mode, but given its popularity across multiple titles and platforms, it probably won't be the last. If you've never played a Battle Royale mode, the idea is simple enough.

As you explore, you'll find a large assortment of weapons, perks, healing objects, and equipment. Don't discount the dense forest area in the upper center section of the Blackout map. Blackout allows players to have two items ready to be activated with the press of a button.
