Strike it big in the Grand Heist! The newest seasonal event and
community celebration for Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4
is available now on PlayStation®4, with other platforms to
follow. Titled Operation Grand Heist, the all-new
season of content features updates across the game, including a new
Specialist, two brand-new Multiplayer maps, new playable
destinations across the Blackout map, as well as a wide variety of
personalization items, accessories, new vehicles, new game modes
and much more.
“With Operation Grand Heist, the team has packed in an
incredible amount of new content, and we can’t wait for fans to
jump in and check it out,” said Dan Bunting, Co-Studio Head,
Treyarch. “We love the 1970s-style heist theme of this Operation,
and the fast-paced action that it brings to Blackout and
Multiplayer, along with the brand-new Zombies experience following
in March.”
“One of our favorite things at the studio is creating new ways
for the community to play,” said Mark Gordon, Co-Studio Head,
Treyarch. “We set out since day one to support Black Ops 4
long after launch, so we’re delivering a ton of new ways for
players to engage with each mode of the game and we’re committed to
giving fans new reasons to keep coming back week in and week
out.”
Operation Grand Heist’s free, new content includes:
- New Specialist – Available in
Multiplayer and Blackout, Outrider makes her Black Ops 4 debut,
allowing players to silently take out enemies with explosive
precision with her longbow, the Sparrow.
- New Blackout Location and
Updates – Drop into the roughest, toughest, and wildest new
Blackout location, Ghost Town, which features two areas. Inspired
by Standoff, an intense classic multiplayer map from Black Ops II,
the above ground destination provides flanking routes that call for
strategic positioning with long and medium ranged combat. Below
ground, fans can also explore underlying caverns inspired by the
classic Zombies map Buried, where they’ll find heavy duty gear
amongst hordes of the undead. Additionally, Operation Grand
Heist introduces a new Blackout mode called Hot Pursuit,
launching on February 22 on PlayStation 4 and other platforms to
follow. Hot Pursuit is fast-paced and frenetic, and debuts three
new vehicles – SUV, muscle car and PBR assault boat, all in special
variants themed to Operation Grand Heist – as squads race to
supply drops placed around the map containing high-level armor,
weapons and grenades to dominate their opponents.
- New Black Market Gear – The
Black Market has been restocked with new weapon camos, outfits,
gestures, and accessories themed for Operation Grand Heist.
This includes notable weapons like the Rampage Auto Shotgun,
Switchblade X9 SMG, and the Home Wrecker demolition hammer, all
unlockable through the Contraband Tiers as fans play through the
game. A new long-range weapon called the Vendetta Sniper Rifle is
also coming later in the season.
- New Zombies Features –
Operation Grand Heist delivers new features to the Zombies
mode including a new round-based Gauntlet challenge mode for the
Classified map, along with a brand-new perk addition called the
Ethereal Razor that substantially increases a player’s melee damage
with area of effect and life re-gen for each hit.
In addition to the free content, Black Ops Pass owners gain
access to even more in-game content, available first on
PlayStation®4:
- New Multiplayer Map, Casino – A
medium-sized map set in a luxurious casino in Monaco where elite
thieves formed an elaborate plan to steal the winning racecars on
display. Casino features high-intensity combat as players weave
through buzzing slot-machines and topple across gambling tables.
This wide-open space allows for long-range to mid-range combat with
little protection from enemies.
- New Multiplayer Map, Lockup – A
medium-sized map set in a Los Angeles police station, Lockup was
the site of an assault to destroy evidence that led to the
headquarters of an organized crime syndicate. Fans can dominate the
rooftop positions, bail out when cornered and tactically shut down
areas with operational doors to gain the upper hand on their
opponents.
- New Blackout Character, Cosmic
Silverback – Black Ops Pass owners will unlock this deadly
Zombie silverback gorilla, an iconic fan-favorite boss originally
from the Dead Ops Arcade from Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Ancient Evil, an all-new Zombies experience, will also launch in
March for Black Ops Pass owners, with details being revealed
soon.
The Black Ops Pass* is included in the Digital Deluxe
Edition, the Digital Deluxe Enhanced Edition, the Pro
Edition, and the Mystery Box Edition of Call of Duty:
Black Ops 4, and can also be purchased standalone digitally or
at participating retailers.
Additionally, the Zombies experience Classified, previously only
available as part of the Black Ops Pass, is available now for all
players to purchase as a standalone map. Classified features the
“Ultimis” cast of characters in a chilling, survival experience as
they fight the undead and investigate The Pentagon after
mysteriously being teleported there.
