Three weeks following the release of its last update, Treyarch has rolled out a new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 patch for Xbox One and PS4 that unlocks new content and brings in a host of bug fixes as well as some weapon adjustments.
According to iDigital Times, the most notable change that is part of the new patch is the unlocking of the game's update divisive map. All of the Call of Duty Black Ops 3 gaming aficionados will now have a full access to the Nuk3town map, Calling Card, reticles and weapon camouflage, a bundle which was first made available to players who placed a pre-purchase of the BO3. On top of this addition are loads of bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, weapon adjustments and other changes.
Moreover, several number of glitches prevalent during multiplayer match are duly fixed with the latest patch including an exploit that allows gamers move a Hardened Sentry even if the devices are not deactivated.
The developer has also tweaked a bug which disconnects players from dedicated servers if they're using the character's H.I.V.E. Gun. Conventionally, the new update adds massive map-specific bug fixes and tweaks to the game's armory.
