Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warhas come with its fair share of bugs, with one new glitch tying back toCall of Duty: Black Ops 4. For some players,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waritems may be looking like they come from a game set decades in the future due to placeholder images fromBlack Ops 4not being removed.
The glitch makes it seem likeCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waristaking more fromBlack Ops 4than killstreaks and reimagining of classic Zombies maps, as multiple icons and items within Treyarch’s latest game show off assets from its previous work. The Dual Wield attachment, for example, shows an image of the Saug fromCall of Duty: Black Ops 4. This is only the tip of the iceberg forBO4asset appearances, however.

In the memorable campaign mission Redlight, Greenlight, which includes aBurger Town mascot that poops M79 grenade launchers, one player discovered a flaw with the M82 sniper rifle. Rather than showing an image of the deadly weapon when going to equip it,Black Ops 4’s SDM sniper is shown on-screen instead. While this is a small bug that has no real impact on gameplay, due to the weapon being normal as soon as it is picked up, Reddit user Metoaga was clearly confused by Treyarch’s slip-up.
The next asset error comes fromCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer, with Redditor Lorenso0 getting a Prestige Master screen after completing a random match online. WhileBlack Ops Cold Warhas a prestige system, the issue here is that both the icon and message congratulating Lorenzo0 are fromBlack Ops 4. Lorenzo0 is not alone either, as other players have reportedly had the screen appear when hitting level 94.
The final asset bugs can be found inCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold WarZombies, with both pertaining to weapons fromBlack Ops 4. One sees a Redditor named IronClooch69 shown an image of the Hades LMG when they go to pick up an RPD. Beyond that, if players slow down the footage when swapping certain weapons, text reading MP 40 is seen as well. Though the MP 40 may eventually come to Zombies, this is likely not how Treyarch planned to reveal it.
While theseBlack Ops 4asset appearances are far from a major issue, it would be nice to see them fixed alongside the major Season 1 update happening in a few weeks’ time. WhileCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warisin need of the Season 1 cosmeticsand maps due to a lack of launch content, the update fixing small bugs like this will be great to see as well.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
