Good news for modders out there. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has just released its mod tools into Open Beta for users on Steam as a part of Update 15.1. The mod tools are available to use only to Black Ops 3 players who own the full game. So if you only own the Multiplayer Starter Pack (like me) you are out of luck.
Here's a comprehensive list of features that have arrived with Update 15.1:
- Black Ops 3 Steam Workshop
- Unranked Server Browser
- Radiant Level Editor
- APE, Asset Property Editor
- Mod Tools Launcher
- Optional additional assets installation under Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 — Mod Tools' DLC section. Includes more level building assets from a variety of official Black Ops 3 maps.
- Full example maps of the Multiplayer map Combine and the Zombies map The Giant
- New Server Settings Menu in Multiplayer Custom Games and Zombies Private Game where you can set how your server will display in the Unranked Server Browser
- New Mods Menu where you can load and unload your subscribed mods
If you're interested in checking out the Mod Pack, you can learn more about how to create stuff and how to play mods by heading over to Steam.
