Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update adds Prestige Icons, buffs Wonder Weapons

by

Treyarch has delivered a new update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Following its installation, players who have reached Master Prestige for Season 6 will be able to add some new Prestige Icons from previous Call of Duty titles to their collection. The new icons include Prestige 13-15 from Call of Duty: Black Ops and Prestige 13-14 and Grand Master Prestige from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

The developer has also made some adjustments to Wonder Weapons in Zombies. The D.I.E has received a melee damage increase and a change to make it regain a percentage of max ammo when absorbing enemies, instead of a fixed amount. While the RAI K-84 has had its explosion damage increased by 100 percent. Read the full patch notes below:
