The Numbers Event has arrived for Black Ops Cold War. The BOCW Numbers Event Update also brings the new Outbreak Survival mode with it, giving players a new way to experience Outbreak. Let's take a look at the Black Ops Cold War Numbers Event Update Patch Notes, Outbreak Survival, and what's going on with the Numbers Event.

Let's start off super simple: the BOCW Numbers Event is here. It brings with it a number of challenges in both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, for which you can receive some pretty sweet rewards. These have been detailed in alternative articles, though, so we won't give you a deep dive right here. Not only have we shown you how and where to activate the Mobile Broadcast Stations in Warzone, but also how to complete all the Numbers Event challenges in BOCW.

We think that's about enough in terms of the content of the Numbers Event in BOCW and Warzone Season 5: Reloaded. Old news! Well, not really, but this article is about something a little different (as you well know). Let's take a look at the new Outbreak Survival mode in BOCW Zombies, and dive into the BOCW Numbers Event Update Patch Notes...

What is Outbreak Survival in BOCW Season 5: Reloaded?

Outbreak Survival drops players into the Outbreak Zone equipped with only a 1911 pistol and no mini-map. Automatic health regeneration has been disabled, there is no blueprint access, and you need to scavenge for food to replenish your health. It's a full-on survival mode, and it looks incredible! The new Outbreak Survival modes test how long you can survive, and it's the true hardcore CoD Zombies mode. We can't wait to jump in.
