Black Ops Cold War 22 Dec patch notes: Daily Challenges, Face Off, Raid 24/7, more

It has been a week since the release of Black Ops Cold War Season 1, but developers Treyarch are not planning on stopping with the new content.

As promised, the first batch of new content is here, with the 22nd December update.

The biggest new feature of this update is Daily Challenges.

Daily Challenges will be available across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, and their goal is to provide new and exciting ways for players to earn XP bonuses by completing various in-game tasks.

Players will receive three Daily Challenges every 24 hours, and if you don't like some of them, you will be able to replace them with reserve Challenges.

Furthermore, Double Battle Pass XP starts today, and it will last until 28th December at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 7 pm CET.

Finally, there are two new featured playlists introduced with this update: Raid 24/7 and Face-Off!
