Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 July 2 Update – Fourth of July Contraband Stream And More

The latest Game Settings Update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is now officially live on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

As part of this update, Treyarch has added in a Special Fourth of July Contraband Stream into the Black Market across platforms, giving players new tiers to go through to unlock July 4th-themed gear. The new Tiers also includes the first Ultra Weapon Bribe, which gives players one dupe-protected Black Market weapon to use in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

The new tier system has 15 tiers total. Every other tier is a Reserve Case, and then the highest tier is an Ultra Weapon Bribe.

Beyond this week’s update, the next big content drop for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be on July 9 with the fifth Operation for the game releases on PlayStation 4 and brings a new Zombies DLC map. Stay tuned for more info on Operation 5.
