While the Blackout battle royale mode continues to receive new updates, it seems that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 multiplayer modes will also be getting some love, if leaks showing a new Specialist are accurate. The Black Ops 4 Spectre Specialist is reported to be joining the roster of classes available for players to specialize in, after a new item appeared in the game referencing the character. Previously seen in Black Ops 3, the new Call of Duty Specialist leaked as a result of the smoke grenade description, which mentioned an ability linked to the new class. Read on to find out everything we know about the new Black Ops 4 specialist, Spectre.
Black Ops 4 Spectre | New Call of Duty Specialist leaked
The new Call of Duty Specialist surfaced after Reddit user Xarson1270 found reference to a new item, the Smoke grenade, while creating a new class. The item makes reference to the Black Ops 4 Spectre Specialist, stating that players can see other enemies if they are using the Spectre character. We’ve seen this Specialist before in Black Ops 3, who utilized a wrist-mounted twin blade to deal an instant kill on melee, and was equipped with a camouflage ability to briefly become invisible. Posed as both an engineer and an assassin, this Specialist class pivoted on the use of these gadgets to take out other players quickly.
It’s not clear what abilities will transfer over into the Black Ops 4 Spectre version, but the Smoke grenade description suggests his play style will remain the same, using subterfuge and cloak-and-dagger tactics to ambush enemies. Of course, there hasn’t yet been any official confirmation from Treyarch about the new Black Ops 4 Specialist; there’s no guarantee that Spectre will make an appearance in the near future. As such, it would be difficult to predict a Black Ops 4 Spectre release date, especially considering that the new Specialist Outrider was only recently introduced in the Operation Grand Heist event.

Black Ops 4 weapons that we NEED in Blackout
For Call of Duty fans, Blackout has been a surprisingly fully featured entry into the battle royale space. It's got a good arsenal, franchise staples like Zombies and perks, and a refined feeling. However, it doesn't have ALL the guns you'd want. Here are a few missing staples that should be added ASAP. -
Bal 27
A bullpup assault rifle from Advanced Warfare, the Bal-27 is the workhorse of the Atlas Corporation. Complete with an underslung grenade launcher, it can spit out bullets with the rest of them at a close to midrange. Most AW players never found a reason to switch past the default, so let's bring it back into the fold. -
M16
A gaming staple beyond just Call of Duty, the M16 has appeared in just about every shooter franchise with realistic weapons. An old school choice, it's one of the most recognizable firearms around and has a host of upgrades and add-ons to make it stand out from the pack. -
M.2187
An upgrade of an old favorite from Modern Warfare, this small shotgun packs a punch, especially when you're wielding Akimbo. Blackout, in general, is lacking in the shotgun department, so adding a version of one of the signature close range weapons in the series seems like a good start. -
Reaver
Or, if you want a shotgun with a bit more punch, why not equip the Reaver? It has good range, great stopping power, and cool variants to pick from. Why not add the Machete version as a legendary drop? Blowing up opponents with the slice of a blade sure sounds fun. -
SPAS 12
If you're a player who can't stand to have Infinite Warfare representation in Black Ops, lets circle back to a shotgun that we can all agree on. The SPAS-12 is another legendary firearm that's been all over the place, and it seems like the perfect way to round out the shotgun selection. -
UMP45
A submachine gun generally seen in the Modern Warfare games, the UMP45 is an older weapon, although Infinite Warfare gave it the futuristic MacTav-45 variant. Whichever varient we go with, it's a no-brainer. This is a favorite among players of any subseries and would be a welcome addition to Blackout. -
Ballistic Knife
One of the thing that sets Fornite apart from other battle royale games is their constantly shifting game modes. There are plenty of rule variants that keep things engaging, and adding in the Ballistic Knife as an option opens Call of Duty up to the same options. All blade shooting, all the time. -
Storm PSR
A candidate for a rare drop, the Piercing Shot Rifle (also known as the Metal Storm) is a powerful sniper rifle from Black Ops 2. Its claim to fame is its experimental scope that allows you to see through walls as you fire. Root out your enemy's hiding spots with this sleek death machine. -
M2 Flamethrower
Call of Duty has the opportunity to be the first battle royale to implement a flamethrower into its arsenal. Why would they want to do that, you might ask? Flamethrowers are cool. You don't need more reason than that to add in this World at War relic. Camping will never be the same again. -
Gravity Vortex Gun
Fortnite had the sword from Infinity Blade, so Call of Duty needs a stupid powerful weapon that the developers can regret putting in as well. Why not the Gravity Vortex Gun, a futuristic cannon that shoots black holes onto the battlefield? Sensibility in weapon selection is overrated.
