Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is commemorating Valentine’s Day, and revamped game mode will be introduced as part of the celebrations. The mode arrives in a couple of days, and it will see Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War players collecting something other than dog tags while playing Kill Confirmed.
This is not the first time the game is seeing a few seasonal changes made to Kill Confirmed. During the Halloween season in Call of Duty Modern Warfare, dog tags became skulls. A suitable change for the scary setting, the small graphic change kept the seasonal theme alive – and it appears developer Treyarch took inspiration from Infinity Ward’s holiday setup.
The Team Deathmatch alternative will see players confirming kills by picking up candy hearts instead of the usual dog tags, with an official blog post featuring the hearts in action. As is tradition with the mode, enemies will drop red hearts while teammates will drop blue ones.
With a signature “Be Mine” text on the candy hearts placed on the revamped tags, the large sweets look much like they do in real life, and they should be fun for all Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War players to hunt down.
The exclusive game mode goes live later this week, which is the typical time for game mode updates in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. It will run until February 18, giving players an entire week to try the new playlist.
In the middle of its duration, players will be provided access to a Double Weapon XP weekend. From February 12 until February 15, Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War players can rank up their guns quickly via Kiss Confirmed and the other game modes currently active in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.
There will also be some exclusive new bundles in the game’s in-game store this week, with both focused on the upcoming holiday. The “Year of the Ox” pack will be focused on giving players a few items based on the Lunar New Year such as two golden weapon blueprints.
A Mardi Gras bundle will be made available as well, while the Valentines-inspired “Top-Secret Admirer” pack provides a pink sniper and tactical rifle that would perfectly fit inside Kiss Confirmed’s romantic theme.
Whether fans are interested in Valentine’s cosmetics or the exclusive Kill Confirmed alternative, logging into Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War later this week should be worthwhile. With Call of Duty Mobile also giving out a Valentine’s Day bundle as well, it appears like Call of Duty fans on each platform will be able to get into the holiday spirit this week.
