An accidental kill will trigger all damage dealt to teammates to be applied back to the attacker, and if the attacker continues to damage teammates (even if ricochet is activated” they will be removed from the game following two more attempts.

While the majority of the fixes were for the Firebase Z Zombies map, but there is also a buff to jump-shooting as Treyarch has lessened the speed and jump height penalties when landing from a jump.

Crashes in Firebase Z were also addressed, specifically when using Jump Pads, Essence Traps, Tombstone Soda and playing Assault Rounds.

Here are the full patch notes:

Multiplayer

• Slightly reduced penalties to speed and jump height when landing from a jump.
• Fixed a rare crash related to Gunfight.
• Addressed an issue where shooting down a Care Package helicopter with a launcher would not destroy it

Zombies

• Fixed multiple crashes related to Jump Pads, Assault Rounds, Essence Traps, Tombstone Soda, Hellhounds, and the Mimic in “Firebase Z.”
• Addressed an issue where the Orda would not fire its secondary attacks appropriately.
• Addressed issues that allowed the player to get on top of the Fire Control Unit in the Defense Lines.
• Addressed an issue with Medals showing incorrect info (Fake Out, Hold the Line).
• Fixed description tab time and score limit for multiple modes.
