TheCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwill kick off soon for those on PS4 that have pre-ordered the new game. And while some fans may be content simply waiting for theBlack Ops Cold Warrelease date on November 13, Activision has sweetened the pot by announcing some goodies for those who participate in the beta.
First and foremost,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warplayers that participate in the beta and managed to reach level 10 will unlock a special SMG weapon blueprint that they can use on launch day. The Mutual Animosity weapon blueprint looks pretty sleek, and like other weapon blueprints, it will allow players to utilize attachments that they haven’t actually unlocked. Having a fully-kitted gun right away may give players an advantage in the early days ofBlack Ops Cold War’s multiplayer, so fans should definitely consider making an effort to hit level 10 while the beta is live.

In the meantime,Black Ops Cold Warbeta participants can also unlock content forCall of Duty Mobileas well. As long as players have their Activision account linked, playing theBlack Ops Cold Warbeta will unlock Russell Adler as a playable character inCall of Duty Mobile. Russell Adler is a new character inBlack Ops Cold War, and he will actually be one of the playable operators inBlack Ops Cold War’s multiplayer as well as theZombies mode.
Those who aren’t on PS4 don’t have to worry about missing out on the Mutual Animosity weapon blueprint or getting Russel Adler inCall of Duty Mobile. TheBlack Ops Cold Warbetawill open up to all PS4 players on October 12, and then those that pre-ordered on PC or Xbox One can join in on October 15. Then on October 17, theBlack Ops Cold Warbeta will be open across all platforms, regardless of whether one pre-ordered it or not. This way, everyone will have the chance to unlock the Mutual Animosity SMG weapon blueprint if they so desire.
In the meantime, fans are still waiting to learn some more specific details as to what theBlack Ops Cold Warbeta will entail. For example, theBlack Ops Cold Warbeta maps have yet to be announced. However, Activision has revealed theBlack Ops Cold Warbeta game modes, which will consist of Team Deathmatch, Domination, VIP Escort, Kill Confirmed, Combined Arms, and Fireteam: Dirty Bomb.
TheBlack Ops Cold Warbeta will prove to be hugely important for the game’s early days, asTreyarchwill take information it gains from this and apply it to full game’s multiplayer component.
