Black Ops 3: Surprise hotfix makes Black Market and Scorestreak changes

A new hotfix has been released for Black Ops 3

 

DESPITE receiving a massive update just a couple of days ago, a new hotfix has been deployed for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.

 

V. 43.2.17.5 sees the Black Market become accessible while in pre-game lobbies, meaning that players do not have to quit in order to part ways with Cryptokeys in exchange for supply drops.

The hotfix has also affected the following:

- Hellstorm and Wraith Scorestreaks buffed

- Players can be killed by their own score streak

- Fixes for Medals/Challenges not tracking certain progress

- Fixes in Black Market for looping sounds

- Fixes for in-game store images and language

- Brass Knuckles taunts FX has been added

 

The hotfix has been released just a few days after a huge patch

 

Players may be surprised by this latest hotfix after having to download a massive patch earlier in the week.

Update 1.04 saw the arrival of new weapons for Black Ops 3 while also allowing players to quickly join a friend’s game.

 

Players can now access the Black Market without leaving the game lobby

 

There have also been changes made to Scorestreaks

 

But taking to Twitter, studio design director David Vonderhaar warned players why they should take particular notice of this latest hotfix.

He said: “You can be killed by your own Scorestreaks (again). Hellstorm buff. Wraith defence buff. *Multiple* Medal/Challenges tracking fixes.

“More minorly, Black Market fixes for looping sound, in-game store images/language fixes & the Brass Knuckles taunt gets it’s missing FX.”
