Black Ops 3 Public Beta Updated With New Level Cap and Reaper Specialist

Treyarch has confirmed some new additions to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 public beta that's currently underway until the end of the week. 

Only available on the PlayStation 4, the public beta is going to increase the game's level cap to Major (level 34), which unlocks new weapons, equipment, perks, and scorestreaks.

Additionally, the developers are introducing a new map into the rotation called Stronghold, a high-tech Swiss chateau in the frozen Alps. It features an asymmetrical map design with a mix of exposed sightlines and tight, close quarters.

The game will see the addition of a new specialist character for players who reach level 34 called the Reaper. Here's what its abilities are:

• Real Name: Experimental War Robot (EWR)
• Bio: Started as an expensive military R&D project to supplement Special Operations soldiers in the field, the EWR was a cutting-edge prototype combat robot, the most advanced in the world at the time. Budget overruns and embarrassing political incidents left the project all but a resource for scrap metal, except for the one prototype that remained.
• Weapon: Scythe – Robotic arm that transforms into a high power Mini-Gun.
• Ability: Psychosis – Infiltrate enemy DNI systems to simulate three decoy clones. 

And finally, Treyarch is introducing the Uplink game mode to the multiplayer playlist. In Uplink, players face off in an effort to take control of a downed satellite and into the enemy's goal.
