You will likely run into Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout beta problems during this week of play time. This is a beta, and it is a part of the process. You may run into issues installing the beta update, connection issues and other errors.

Here’s a rundown of the known Black Ops 4 beta problems and what you can do to fix these issues. Keep in mind there will likely be Blackout beta updates pushed almost every morning with fixes and changes.

How Long is the Black Ops 4 Beta

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout beta will last a week. PS4 players can take advantage of a full week of the Blackout Beta, PC and Xbox One players only get a weekend.

You may see them open up the beta to all gamers on the last day, or extend a day if there are massive issues.

Don’t Delete the Beta On Your Console

Do not delete the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 beta when the second weekend ends. This is the same beta that you will use to try the Battle Royale mode in September. You will need to install an update to the beta to play Blackout, but it will speed things up and avoid any major issues if you leave the beta on your console or PC after the beta is complete.

How to Join the Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta

You need to pre-order Black Ops 4 to get access to the beta. That is the only way to get guaranteed access during the limited run. When you pre-order on a disk you will get an email or a printed code that you will need to register on Call of Duty. Closer to the Black Ops 4 beta start date you will get a token that you enter into your system for access.

Use this guide to sign up for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 beta now, so you can avoid major problems when everyone tries to do it later this year.

Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta Progress

During the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout beta you can level up your character by winning, placing in the top 15 and getting kills. We don’t know about a specific player level cap in Blackout yet, but there is likely a temporary limit in place. This may be raised during the beta.

Any progress you make will not carry over to the final game. This is a beta, and Treyarch uses the data to tune the game for the final release. They don’t want the early beta data and progress to carry over into the final game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Beta Rewards

While the progress doesn’t carry over, you get a special item in the game if you play the beta.

“Participation Has Its Rewards: All participants in the Beta will receive a unique, one-of-a-kind calling card that they can proudly display. And for every player that achieves max rank in the Beta, they will earn a Permanent Unlock Token to apply to any piece of Create-a-Class content when the game comes out.”

That rank is level 40. So you better get busy if you want to earn that token. It’s not clear if you will get rewards for the Blackout beta, but it wouldn’t be a surprise.

5 Reasons to Buy Black Ops 4 & 3 Reasons To Wait

Buy If You Love The Look of Mutliplayer

We know a lot about the the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 multiplayer experience from Treyarch, Vonderhaar and the last month of play. This is a very grounded game, but it is much faster than Call of Duty: WWII. Sliding is a very nice addition, and something I personally missed greatly during last year's Call of Duty game. 

Treyarch continues to fine tune the weapons in multiplayer and new weapons are still coming, but overall you now have a very good idea of how the game plays and how it will play for the long run. 

Specialists are back with loads of new abilities and you now have to heal your character in the game instead of it automatically happening. The Pick 10 system is back and so are perks, so you get a classic Black Ops gaming feel. Everything feels fast and fluid, like you expect from a Black Ops game. 

With no story mode, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 multiplayer is a bigger component and if that is what you love about the game it's a good reason to buy now and get started with your progress towards prestige.
