Ever since Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 revealed that it was getting a battle royale mode, fans had a few mixed reactions. With the like of Fortnite leading the charge, CoD players were not too keen on the idea, but that seemingly changed when Blackout did arrive. Ever since its release, those partaking in the game mode have been enjoying themselves, especially with how often Treyarch likes to mix things up a bit. In fact, that will be happening on August 6th when the next phase of Operation Apocalypse Z begins and brings an 80-player game of Infected to Blackout.

Pandemic is the new mode that will be arriving to bring all sorts of chaos along with it. "Imagine an 80-player game of Infected on the biggest Call of Duty map ever made," reads the Reddit post. "We’re cranking that idea to 11 and making it a reality in Blackout, where the rules have changed from 'last squad standing' to 'last survivors on Earth against an endless swarm of undead at the end of the world.' Get ready to run."
