Weapons

• Black Ops Cold War had quite a few placeholder weapons during its early stages. Weapon names were also vastly different between each build.

Most of the weapons in the game used their real life counterpart name during development, these were most likely changed to avoid paying for licensing to use the names in game. The weapons also had quite a few differences along with different names during stages of development which I will list here.

To do: *Find out what weapon the Calico is actually supposed to be, as it could be several different SMG's.

Unused Perk

Via a glitch in June 2021, Skulker from Black Ops 4 could be obtained. The perk functioned identically to how it did in that game and was likely a leftover from it.

Unused Character Icons

Pyotr (Dark Aether)

An unused HUD icon for Pyotr in the Dark Aether can be found in Die Maschine files, indicating that Pyotr would have briefed the players in the same way Requiem does.

Maxis (Die Maschine)

An unused HUD icon for Samantha Maxis is also left in the files, using her appearance for Die Maschine, suggesting she might have also been a part of Requiem much earlier on.

Oddities

• Nowhere Left to Run:
  • Falling out of the map and on to the invisible floor at the bottom will not kill the player. This can be seen here at 3:11.
  • During the airfield segment, the car that the team has to reach only becomes active once Woods says the line "Get Arash!", even though Mason cannot reach the vehicle before he says this. This can be seen here at 5:23.
  • If Mason were to reach the car before Woods does, which usually cannot happen, Woods' entry animation is delayed. This can be seen here at 5:25.
