The fourth Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Operation is on the way today, April 30, 2019. After the latest 1.17 update, you will be able to take part in the Black Ops 4 Operation Spectre Rising and begin to unlock all sorts of new characters, weapons, and gear. What is the Operation Spectre release time, though? When is Operation Spectre coming to Xbox One? Read on to find out the answers to these questions and more.
Black Ops 4 Operation Spectre Release Time | When is Operation Spectre coming to Xbox One?
While we can’t give a firm release time for Black Ops 4 Operation Spectre Rising, we do know that it is going live later today (April 30) on PS4, with a release date for Xbox One and PC coming at some point in the near future.
Based on previous Black Ops 4 Operations, however, we can gather when everything will go live. Operation Spectre Rising is more than likely to go live tonight on PS4 at the following times:
- 6 PM – 8 PM GMT
- 2 PM – 4 PM ET
- 11 AM – 1 PM PT
- 7 PM – 9 PM CET
This is based on when previous Operations went live in Black Ops 4, so don’t be too disappointed if Spectre Rising goes live a little later than detailed above.
In terms of the Operation Spectre Xbox One and PC release date, expect to wait a week before it goes live. Typically speaking, Black Ops 4 content is a week behind on Xbox One and PC. We’d imagine that you’ll see Operation Spectre Rising on Xbox One on May 7, 2019.
What is Operation Spectre Rising?
Black Ops 4 uses Operations as in-game seasons. Once Operation Spectre Rising goes live, you will be able to play the game as normal, leveling up through Tiers as you do. You will unlock new content, including a new Specialist (Spectre) as you play. A ton of new Black Market content will be added, too.
Alongside the Tiers, there will be plenty of new content added for regular players and Black Ops Pass owners to unlock, too. Find out more about it all in our in-depth Operation Spectre Rising update patch notes guide.
Blackout Weapons

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.
