　　Now Playing: New Zombie Story Mode Arrives To CoD: Black Ops 4 On July 9 - GS News Update

　　The headlining feature is the return of Reaper, a Specialist who debuted in 2015's Black Ops 3. The combat robot wields the Scythe heavy machine gun (which applies a suppression effect on targeted enemies) and an ability called Radar Shroud (a deployable jammer that prevents enemies in its radius from using the minimap).

　　The Black Ops 4 patch also includes fan-favorite game mode Sticks and Stones, a free-for-all where players use nothing but crossbows, Ballistic Knives, and Combat Axes to be the last one standing. Additionally, the "Alpha Omega" Zombies mode is available to Black Ops Pass owners. Developer Treyarch shared a roadmap for Operation Apocalypse Z, which features what's currently available and what's arriving during the season.

　　Along with the roadmap, Treyarch posted a trailer, below, of what fans can expect from the Black Ops 4 update.

　　You can read the full Black Ops 4 patch notes below.
