Black Ops 4 players are calling Blackout’s new Black Market stashes pay-to-win
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 developer Treyarch has just introduced a patch for the multiplayer FPS which contains some interesting new features - one of which is already drawing ire from some its players. This update adds something called Blackjack's Stashes to the game's battle royale mode, Blackout - but they introduce an element that members of its playerbase allege is basically a pay-to-win feature.
As spotted by MultiplayerFirst, the nature of how the stashes work means there could potentially be a pay-to-win side to them. Publisher Activision has posted notes about the new Blackjack's Stashes in a blog post on its site: "each player will be able to unlock one of Blackjack’s Stashes per game, which contains all the Black Market weapons in your inventory. For instance, if you’ve earned the Vendetta in the Contraband stream, it will be available for you to grab during a Blackout match in one of Blackjack’s Stashes".
This indicates that access to all your inventory Black Market weapons will be guaranteed once per game through the Stashes - but it looks like you won't be able to use the weapons that they unlock if they're not in your inventory. So, if you haven't previously obtained them from Black Ops 4's loot boxes (known as Reserve Crates) the Blackjack's Stashes won't make these weapons available to you.
