Treyarch has released the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 October 16 Hotfix Update which adds more players to Blackout Duos and Quads, some PC fixes and improvements as well and some other minor additions.
The update was a hotfix so you don’t need to download anything, everything was done server side.
The biggest change is in Black Ops 4 Blackout’s player counts. Duos is now 100 players while Quads is 88 players, the additional player counts to both variants should make things much more exciting.
You can check out Patch Notes for previous Black Ops 4 Updates below:
- Black Ops 4 1.02
- Black Ops 4 1.03
- Black Ops 4 October 13 Hotfix Update
- Black Ops 4 October 14 Hotfix Update

- Multiplayer Audio
- We’ve seen some reports of audio volumes in Multiplayer not sounding quite as expected, particularly with footsteps. We’ve passed these onto the appropriate teams for evaluation. In the meantime, please be sure to try out the different custom presets in our Audio settings under Options to find a mix that works best for you.
- PC Hellion Salvo Crash
- PC players will currently crash when equipping the “Hunt” weapon camo and Fast Lock attachment on the Hellion Salvo launcher. We’re fixing this in an upcoming update – in the meantime, please avoid using this camo/Attachment combination on the Hellion Salvo to prevent crashing.
- Teammate Names Disappearing
- Some players are reportedly seeing their teammates’ player names disappearing temporarily during MP matches, making it difficult to tell friend from foe. We’re investigating this as well.
- Xbox One Deluxe Edition Items
- We’re aware some users are still having trouble accessing their Shadowman and Classified content consistently on Xbox One, even after manually downloading the items. We’re continuing to investigate to see what can be done on our end to solve this.
