Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II news & patch notes

Fanatics Fest Recap: Modern Warfare 4 Brings Kill Block to Fanatics Fest

New York fans came ready to play.

Over four packed days at Fanatics Fest, Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 4 turned its show-floor presence into a full-scale destination, giving fans their first hands-on experience with Modern Warfare 4 Multiplayer through Kill Block while offering a deeper look at the game's Multiplayer experience and how Call of Duty continues to bring competition, spectacle, and culture together.

First Deployments into Kill Block

Kill Block was the center of gravity. Set within the West Bridge Advanced Military Training Facility, the new Multiplayer experience made its public debut with fast, aggressive 10v10 Gunfight matches, giving players a first taste of Modern Warfare 4’s adaptive live-fire training environment. Designed for fast-paced, close-quarters combat, Kill Block's ever-changing battleground rewarded repeat play, encouraging players to rethink their tactics from one match to the next, and drew crowds throughout the weekend.

From the Booth: The Modern Warfare 4 Experience

The experience extended well beyond the gameplay stations. Infinity Ward developers were also on hand throughout the weekend, meeting players, answering questions, and offering deeper insight into Modern Warfare 4's evolving Multiplayer experience through live discussions and a special live episode of the COD POD. The MW4 booth buzzed with activity as creators streamed live, athletes and special guests stepped into exhibition Grudge Matches, and fans explored interactive displays and took on the Polaris Path to Victory by navigating rugged terrain in a specially themed off-road experience.

Making its public debut at Fanatics Fest, the Aston Martin Dreadnought concept vehicle was unveiled and gave attendees their first look at the bespoke tactical SUV created through the collaboration between Aston Martin and Infinity Ward. Later this year, players will move from admiring it on the show floor to driving it across the battlefields of the next chapter of Modern Warfare® 4's DMZ and Call of Duty®: Warzone™.

Call of Duty in Culture

Beyond the gameplay, the "Call of Duty in Culture" panel brought together Mark Grigsby, Co-Studio Head at Infinity Ward, Tyler Bahl, Chief Marketing Officer at Activision, and guests from across sports, entertainment, and media to discuss how Modern Warfare 4 continues Call of Duty's connection to competition, community, and modern culture.

Collectors also had their own objectives to chase. Inside the Armory, limited-edition MW4 merchandise, Ghostwrite collectible figures, Ghost mask balaclavas, MW4 Beta code opportunities, and event rewards gave fans plenty to earn, redeem, and take home. Fans left with MW4 keepsakes to commemorate their first hands-on experience with Modern Warfare 4.

From the first deployment into Kill Block to the unveiling of the Aston Martin Dreadnought, Fanatics Fest gave players their first hands-on experience with Modern Warfare 4 and an early look at what's still to come.

Now the spotlight turns to Call of Duty®: NEXT.

Introducing the Dreadnought

Every so often a vehicle drops into Call of Duty that stands apart from the rest. Today, Call of Duty and Aston Martin are proud to reveal that vehicle, the Aston Martin Dreadnought, an in-game, bespoke tactical SUV concept created for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and Call of Duty: Warzone™. Developed through a collaboration between Aston Martin’s design team and engineered from the ground up with Infinity Ward, the Dreadnought reimagines what happens when one of the world’s most iconic ultra-luxury performance brands enters the world of Modern Warfare. This is one of the most aggressive all-wheel drive machines in the game.

When Luxury Meets Tactical Performance

Designed by the same Aston Martin team responsible for some of the marque’s most celebrated vehicles, the Dreadnought is an exploration of what’s possible when designers are freed from real-world constraints.

Drive to survive

The Dreadnought rolls with an armored exterior and military-grade armor plating. This isn't a joyride SUV that folds under the first burst of fire. It's a mobile fortress. Push objectives and drive straight through contested ground while its impressive armor plating helps absorb the heaviest of incoming fire.

The most aggressive AWD in MW4

Grounded in Modern Warfare's in-game physics and packing supercar-level performance, the Dreadnought is the most aggressive all-wheel drive in the game. This translates to brutal traction, real speed, and the momentum to ram, escape, or run down a squad that thought it had you cornered — all announced by the roar of a full-blooded V12 engine.

A Closer Look at the Aston Martin Dreadnought

The capabilities of a performance SUV have been translated into an immersive virtual world for the next generation of Aston Martin fans. Grounded in the in-game physics of the Call of Duty universe, this unapologetic, uncompromising tactical all-wheel drive SUV delivers not only a stunning exploration of extreme visual language, but also an engaging and dynamic player experience.

The Dreadnought name naturally conjures up images of military might. Aside from its obvious dictionary definition, “fear nothing”, it also recalls the famous early 20th Century British warship, HMS Dreadnought, which was so revolutionary in terms of her armament and propulsion that she coined an entirely new class of warship, defining global naval military ambition in the early 1900s. The Dreadnought combines supercar levels of performance, advanced armor technologies, and adaptive combat zone intelligence systems into a single, striking form.

Though these elements are purely cosmetic in the game, all have been imagined for elite tactical performance: from its optimized aerodynamics to its fully integrated digital command interfaces. Exquisite design details emphasize the Dreadnought’s high luxury heritage: from the herringbone weave of the exterior carbon fiber to the Oxford Tan leather dashboard and door panel details, and the metallic gold gear lever. These are uniquely contrasted in this digital creation with features rarely found in an Aston Martin like military grade armor plating.

Amplified without restraint: Unmistakably Aston Martin

Commenting on the debut of the Dreadnought in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, said: “The team have hugely enjoyed the not inconsiderable challenge of redefining what an Aston Martin can be when the only limit is imagination.

“To create the ultimate exotic off-road machine, I had to imagine Dreadnought not only as a digital asset, but as a vehicle living in the real world — navigating the streets of New York, powering through the monsoon-soaked roads of Mumbai, and performing with complete authenticity in every environment,” Reichman said. “That vision allowed us to create something that feels genuinely real, even within the immersive world of the game.

Aston Martin Dreadnought in-game imagery shown. “To me, Dreadnought is unmistakably an Aston Martin — amplified without restraint. The quality of the details we have been able to include, right down to the iconic Chiltern Green paint color so synonymous with this marque, underscores our dedication to delivering a truly authentic Aston Martin experience,” Reichman said. “Features as diverse as the carbon fiber chassis right through to exquisite elements such as the door hinges in anodized Satin Gold, reflect our real-world determination to be the most desirable ultra-luxury brand in the automotive sector, and beyond.”

Built Together with Infinity Ward

Bringing the Dreadnought to life required close collaboration between Aston Martin and Infinity Ward throughout every stage of development, from concepting and vehicle geometry to animation, in-game physics, propulsion, and gameplay tuning. Every element was engineered to reflect Aston Martin's distinctive design philosophy while delivering a high-performance armored vehicle purpose-built for Modern Warfare 4. The results, explains a member of Infinity Ward’s design team, is “a high performance armored vehicle that stays true to Aston Martin’s distinctive design philosophy and dominates any battleground. This is the most aggressive all-wheel drive vehicle in Modern Warfare 4.”

See It First at Fanatics Fest NYC, Drive it in game on October 23

Fans attending Fanatics Fest NYC will have the opportunity to see a full-size physical interpretation of the Dreadnought before it arrives in Modern Warfare 4.

At launch players can locate the Dreadnought within a few key points of interest across both Modern Warfare 4 DMZ and Call of Duty: Warzone™.

Kill Block: A First Look (at Fanatics Fest)

Kill Block Explained

• SUMMARY: Fanatics Fest attendees are among the first members of the public experiencing Kill Block. Here's a closer look at the adaptive Multiplayer battleground and how it fits into Modern Warfare 4's broader Multiplayer offering.

Fanatics Fest NYC takes place July 16–19 at New York City's Javits Center, and attendees are the first members of the public to experience Kill Block, one of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 4's new Multiplayer experiences. As players battle across the adaptive training facility throughout the event, we're taking a deeper look at the mode itself, from its modular battleground design and military engineering to its expanded Gunfight experiences and the future of the facility within Modern Warfare 4 Multiplayer.

Read on, and we'll cover the following:

Blog Summary

What is Kill Block? Learn about the West Bridge Advanced Military Training Facility, an adaptive live-fire environment where modular battlegrounds reconfigure before every match, creating hundreds of unique combat configurations.

How Kill Block Works: Go behind the scenes at the facility to discover how the facility's massive modular Slabs move into place, how configurations are assembled, and what tactical opportunities each environment provides.

Safety Off Beyond This Point: Get the tactical rundown on battles within Kill Block matches, including 3v3 Gunfight and the all-new Gunfight 10v10 modes, and a look at how the facility is being built to support additional core Multiplayer modes after launch.

Let's take a closer look at Kill Block...

So What Exactly is Kill Block?

An Adaptive Live-Fire Training Environment

• SUMMARY: Kill Block is a modular Multiplayer battleground that reconfigures every match, challenging players to rethink routes, sightlines, and combat spaces on the fly.

Welcome to the West Bridge Advanced Military Training — codenamed Kill Block — an off-the-books facility specializing in modular Multiplayer battlegrounds centered on reconfiguring combat layouts. Designed as a live-fire training environment, Kill Block maps reconfigure between matches, forcing players to reassess sightlines, routes, and combat spaces.

At its core, Kill Block is assembled from three modular sections — two outer areas (“End Slabs”) and one central combat space (“Central Slab”) — that combine into a new combat configuration after each match called a “Combo”. Each section and how they are positioned allows for multiple possible Combo variants, creating hundreds of unique layout combinations that reshape combat flow.

Most map sections are entirely new, while others draw inspiration from iconic locations across Modern Warfare history. At launch on October 23, more than 500 configurations are possible, with layouts reconfiguring between matches and throughout Gunfight rounds to transform sightlines, routes, cover placement, and engagement pacing.

Kill Block supports expanded Gunfight experiences, including 3v3 and the new Gunfight 10v10 mode at launch, with future support planned for more core Multiplayer modes.

Kill Block: Learn the layout. Adapt when it changes.

Let’s take a closer look at the West Bridge Advanced Military Training Facility:

How Kill Block Works: Engineering Overview

Modular Combat Systems

• SUMMARY: Discover how West Bridge's massive towers, motors, rails, and modular Slabs work together to physically reconfigure the combat space between matches.

An impressive feat of military engineering, this self-contained compound features a perimeter of eight massive concrete towers that house an array of electronics, motors, and pulley systems. These are attached to three massive steel-reinforced Slabs that sit within the facility's perimeter, each resting on a network of rail-mounted wheel assemblies known as bogies that travel along tracks embedded above and below the training area.

When a change of map occurs between matches, the active Slab decouples from the others and is slowly lowered by electric motors into a dedicated storage chamber beneath the arena. A synchronized motor array then switches the rail network to a different Slab, which is winched into position and locked in place, transforming the combat space for the next exercise.

The result is an ever-changing Combo map that enables Tier One Operator teams to experience a variety of Shoothouse-style environments across numerous combat scenarios.

What are Kill Block Combos and Slabs?

Slabs are sectional environments constructed specifically for military training purposes, and there are three linked together in every Kill Block match. Mocked up streets, compounds, and urban blocks provide faithful facsimiles of real-world environments, with many assembled from shipping containers, timber-framed structures, temporary facades, and training props. This is a full-scale tactical set, each built to evoke the character of an operational environment with recognizable spaces, and constructed with a variety of scenery, vantage points, verticality, chokepoints, routes, low openings, and sightlines that typically extend across to an adjacent Slab, and occasionally across the entire map. Three of these Slabs fitted together form a Combo, which is the entire map a match takes place on. Two Kill Block Combos, one completely different match: Note the \, \, and \ Slabs (first image) and the \], \, and \ Slabs (second image), slotting together to create a completely different environment.

Checking Slabs more thoroughly, you can expect to find parked trucks, burned-out tanks and cars, stacked gabions, cargo containers, live-fire training rooms, prefabricated multi-level buildings, concrete blocks, barriers, and walls, and a few tactically important doors you can shoot open, barge through or open slowly with stealth in mind. Construction markings, grenade marks, arrows, named labels for each Slab, training targets, named rooms (using duct tape floor markers), number markings, and a host of other scenic elements are there to assist in your spatial awareness as you learn the environments.

Slab Configurations

Each set of three Slabs — a Combo — is rectangular in shape, and always the same footprint size (roughly that of the Modern Warfare (2019) map “Shoot House”). Every Slab is self-contained, but with the necessary openings to allow flow throughout the map to adjacent Slabs. Every match involves traversing all three of these slabs, which are connected along their longitudinal edges to form the entire Combo playspace. Here’s how the two slab types differ:

End Slabs: There are always two End Slabs on each Kill Block match map, and each of them is one third of the play space and connects to each side of the Central Slab. Teams enter via an infil armory room and into their End Slab, with a perimeter wall gate closing behind them at the start of a match. End Slabs always have these gates (labeled A or B) on the outer wall, directly opposite the other, and in non-Gunfight modes, team members will spawn in and around the back portion of their End Slab.

After spawning, teams with tactical know-how usually move forwards towards the Central Slab with the safety off.

Central Slabs: Linked on each side to an End Slab, the middle of the map offers scenery particularly crafted to enhance combat coming in from multiple angles, with a variety of commanding vantage points, chokepoints, and defensive positions. Teams can move freely between all three slabs.

Environmental Challenges

Certain Slabs are fitted with military-grade weather simulation arrays along with powerful fans that propel vast quantities of misting water or snow across the slab’s entirety. With inclement conditions and the possibility of rain or snow flurries, Operators need to adapt to shifting visibility, altering sightlines, and other evolving tactical conditions. Expect weapons to also react to the weather, with ice particles or a wet sheen building up on the weapon until you swap armaments or reload.

Before and after a snow flurry within the central Slab “Crash”.

Veteran Terrain

While most Slabs are entirely new, others recreate iconic locations including Crash from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007), Storage Town from Call of Duty: Warzone’s Verdansk map and Shoot House from Modern Warfare (2019). Paired with different neighboring Slabs, these familiar spaces play in entirely new ways. Though drawn from iconic maps, these Slabs are fundamentally recontextualized by the randomized environments surrounding them, allowing familiar terrain to deliver both the classic moments you remember and entirely new tactical experiences.

Kill Block Map Situational Overview

Every Kill Block match is fought across a random selection of three Slabs bolted to each other. When this larger map in its entirety is measured, the entire area is roughly the same size as the Modern Warfare (2019) map “Shoot House”.

Ensure your situational awareness by checking the perimeter walls so you know where you are. Note the “B4” and “B3” location wall markers in both wildly different Combos.

For those needing more tactical awareness, the perimeter of the map has indications of smaller sections that serve as visual reference points, helping you identify your location more rapidly while you glance at the mini-map for red dots. Along the map’s longer north and south wall perimeter, there are six “A” and “B” sectors respectively, while the shorter east and west walls have two “C” and “D” sectors, each between an entrance gate where each team spawns. You’re able to tell where you are due to each perimeter section’s letter and number emblazoned at intervals around the map’s perimeter wall.

Use all this knowledge as you learn your Kill Block environments to pinpoint enemies over your comms and learn the maps you’re dropped into.

“Safety Off Beyond This Point”: General Tactical Awareness

Learn. Adapt. Dominate.

• SUMMARY: Know your terrain by studying each Slab's layout, movement options, and sightlines, then apply that knowledge in a changing mix of combat environments.

As you learn the layouts of the different slabs, you’re able to tactically piece together sightlines that carry across the entire Kill Block space itself. It’s worth remembering there are spray-painted signs branding a wall that names most slabs, as well as the names of each Slab appearing during the infil as the map reconfigures between matches, enabling you to quickly ascertain which slabs you’re playing on and learn their layouts the longer you play.

Furthermore, with Modern Warfare 4’s full suite of refined and fluid movement mechanics, expect to be able to scramble across Slab scenery with the same rapid dexterity as you would during a Core Multiplayer match. This includes vertical positioning: climbing onto rooftops, atop containers, onto upper balconies, and ascending to other areas that offer advantageous sightlines at the expense of exposure. Kill Block’s adaptive Multiplayer maps have been designed to offer tactical benefits and creative challenges no matter where you’re positioned.

Kill Block Slab Examples

The following examples and the video footage within this Blog highlight just a selection of the dozens of Slabs available at launch, each offering its own tactical opportunities and combat challenges. Note that the names of Slabs are subject to change prior to the game’s launch:

\ // Central Slab: A slice of the classic Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare map, this training facsimile features a convoy-clogged main road with blown-out pre-fab buildings either side, with plenty of elevated sniper nests that look across the adjacent End Slabs.

\ // End Slab: Three prefabricated structures are positioned around the slab with open access between each of them, with mud and grass thoroughfare, a rusted van, open cargo container, and stacked military gabions as well as concrete barrier stacks to tactically maneuver between.

\ // End Slab: A section of the seminal Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare map, with a similar aesthetic, with gabions placed at corners of prefab walls, some with gaps to climb over, with a central kill box in the middle, and smaller scenic cover opportunities along the far edge of the Slab.

\ // Central Slab: A kill box dirt courtyard surrounded by four prefabricated structures, roughly in each corner, some with significant interior and roof top space available for long-range overwatch coverage. The main turquoise building is a warren of tight rooms and scramble points constructed with mobility training in mind.

\ // End Slab: A maze of stacked gabion walls of varying lengths, along with tactically positioned open cargo containers and other concrete blocks. Operators must weigh the benefits of overwatching from the top of these fortifications, as your line sights improve at the expense of cover.

\ // Central Slab: A no-man’s land of sunken mud walls and pill boxes with sandbags, tires, and wooden trusses keeping the dirt trenches from collapsing. The action is particularly fraught in the exposed middle with concrete barriers, and a burned tank offer a modicum of protection and sight lines.

Kill Block: Live-Fire Gunfights

High-Stakes Team Combat

• SUMMARY: Gunfight returns with 3v3 and the all-new 10v10 modes, where shared loadouts, single-life rounds, and decisive teamwork determine every victory.

On October 23, Kill Block launches with expanded Gunfight experiences, featuring both 3v3 and the all-new Gunfight 10v10 modes. Every round pits teams against one another in fast-paced, single-life combat with every elimination carrying weight and every surviving teammate influencing a round outcome. Communicate effectively, capitalize on opportunities, and execute under pressure to claim victory.

Each round begins with all Operators equipped with the same randomized Primary and Secondary Weapons, Tactical and Lethal Equipment, ensuring every player starts on equal footing. There are no custom Loadouts to rely on, placing the emphasis squarely on teamwork, weapon proficiency, and tactical decision making. If neither team is eliminated before the round timer expires, an Overtime Flag deploys into the combat zone, forcing both teams to converge on it. Capture this Flag to claim victory or fight to maintain the health advantage if time runs out.

During Kill Block Gunfight matches, teams swap sides after the first round. After the second round ends, the three Slabs change to a new Combo (map), a new random loadout is equipped, and the match continues. Combos continue to change every two rounds until one of the teams wins six rounds.

While Gunfight 3v3 and 10v10 headlines Kill Block at launch, the West Bridge Advanced Military Training Facility has been engineered as a modular combat platform capable of supporting additional core Multiplayer modes in future post-launch seasons. Players can expect the facility's adaptive battlegrounds to provide fresh tactical challenges across an expanding variety of Multiplayer modes.

Beyond Kill Block: The Complete Multiplayer Offering

From the adaptive battlegrounds of Kill Block to the globe-spanning Core MP maps, large-scale Ground War battles, tactical one-life modes, fan-favorite respawn and round-based playlists, and Party Modes, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Multiplayer is built for every possible engagement. Alongside Kill Block, players can look forward to:

• 12 grounded Core multiplayer maps set across globally diverse locations, each built around distinct visual identities and tactical flow, with two additional favorites dropping just after launch. Every Core map features its own custom insignia and visual branding inspired by the location, operation, or conflict surrounding the environment, from Lotus (a Korean fishing village in the aftermath of an amphibious assault) to Rooftops (the snow-lined rooftops of a New York Hotel) and Mumbai (a fugitive’s hideout inside a dense residential district).

• Larger scale battles with armored vehicles across expansive maps, featuring brutally intense combined-arms warfare.

• A full suite of Multiplayer Modes and Hardcore variants, from fan favorites like Team Deathmatch, Domination and Hardpoint to new modes with full reveals in the weeks to come.

• Expect Party Modes to also arrive at launch, with additional modes coming shortly after release.

Whether you prefer chasing the objective, coordinating with your squad, or simply racking up eliminations, there's a mode built to match your playstyle.

Upgrade your Major and Minor Abilities with new, rare enhancements that can be acquired in the match, further empowering them with advantages including reduced cooldown times, extra ammo, the chance to inflict additional damage types, and other bonuses improving their effectiveness in the field.

Found in item cases, Ability Boosts are mixed in with other reward types and are chosen based on your currently equipped Major and Minor Ability. Though Ability Boosts have a small chance to drop in Zone IV regions, they are primarily found in Nightmare locations. Open your Tac Map and check the rewards list of various Nightmare level Activities and Assignments to discover where you have the best chance of discovering them.

Each Major and Minor Ability has two Exotic Ability boosts to choose from. Once acquired, the Ability Boost will remain until you either wipe or swap out the affected Ability.

Multiplayer Maps

Jubilee (Launch)

Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Fight through a rural Japanese town as a festival turns to chaos and the streets erupt in conflict. Battle in the front courtyard of the Palace museum, explore local cuisine in the pop-up Festival, and test your luck in the pachinko room offering low and standard rates. For a more scenic path, traverse the outer Garden running behind residential spaces above street level.

For long-ranged skirmishes, head down the central Main Street running down the length of the map where scattered vehicles provide some cover throughout. For tighter encounters, flank out to the sides where there’s a greater mix of sightlines, giving every playstyle a chance to shine in the celebratory scene.

Frequency (Launch)

Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized

First introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Frequency returns fully remastered with greater detail than ever before. Deploy deep into the mountains of Hunan where Operators engage in constant battle over control of the listening station’s global surveillance capabilities.

Take in the sights along the outer platform as you battle down the infamous Catwalk and Pipes sections on the perimeter, or head inside the facility for close-quarters action in the Surveillance room and amongst the Servers. The map opens up in the middle with skirmishes breaking out all around the circular pathway; drop down into the Maintenance area to travel below the path. Whatever your approach, make liberal use of the Wall Jump for new angles of attack while throwing off the enemy’s aim.

Dig (Launch)

Remaster, 6v6, Small-Sized

Following its debut in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Dig returns in remastered form, sending Operators to an archaeological dig site in Avalon where rival forces clash over what lies beneath. With the enhanced movement of Black Ops 7, now’s your chance to experience the map like never before.

Battle along exposed ruins with bas-reliefs of ancient battles and statues commemorating long forgotten figures. Featuring a roughly rectangular layout, the map is full of equipment and scaffolding to repair the crumbling architecture, creating a myriad of narrow, twisting routes that occasionally open up onto long distance vantage points, pits dug into the ground, secret passageways, and flanking routes that are ideal for setting up ambush.

Turbo Tilt (Mid-Season)

Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Small-Sized

Shrink down to size and battle inside the Nuketown Turbo Era Rampage pinball machine in Turbo Tilt, a wild Mid-Season Multiplayer map inspired by the history of Nuketown. Encounter a lit up mushroom cloud in the center where a boulder sized pinball occasionally passes through crushing unlucky Operators in its path. Take cover behind bumpers and flippers and fire from the upper window of the Green House just like in the original. Push the opposition, obtain a high score, and finish the match in style.

Freerun: Descent (Mid-Season)

Brand-New

The Guild expects nothing less than the absolute best from its pool of Operators, and that begins with training as the company brings a new obstacle course into play. Jump, dive, slide, and more across an all-new Freerun map arriving in the Mid-Season.

Multiplayer Limited-Time Modes

Overdrive Domination (Launch)

New Mode (Moshpit)

Domination comes to Overdrive bringing an objective-based twist to the high-octane game mode. Capture, hold, and defend objectives while eliminating targets with style to earn stars for your team.

Earn additional stars for impressive Eliminations based on the following criteria:

• Earn 1 star for Basic Eliminations.

• Earn 2 stars for Core Medal Eliminations.

• Earn 3 stars for completing Distinguished Medal Eliminations.

Earning stars grants special Operator bonuses, as follows:

• 1 Star: Cognition Uplink: Increased perception to help you find your next target.

• 3 Stars: Hyper Speed: Increased movement speed to reach your target faster.

• 6 Stars: Ballistic Overdrive: Increased weapons handling to help you eliminate your target.

Stay in the fight to keep your star counter climbing. If you are eliminated or wait too long between actions, your star count will return to zero. Operators who manage to achieve six stars in a single combo will trigger Overdrive, doubling all earned stars while active.

Gauntlet Rush (Launch)

New Mode

Keep pushing and don’t let up in the new Gauntlet Rush mode, rewarding Operators who constantly engage the enemy and complete objectives across a rotating set of five modes: Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, Hardpoint, and Roulette.

Each game mode lasts for two minutes before seamlessly switching to the next one within the same map to keep the action hot. Eliminate enemies and play the objective to rev up toward Operator enhancements including faster movement speed, weapon swap speed, and improved headshot damage.

Check the lower lefthand corner of your HUD to see how close you are to earning the next buff; the gauge drops if you fail to engage the next target or objective quickly enough, so stay active and reap the rewards. Throughout the match, look out for Gain Stacks that drop in the environment, providing a huge score boost to help reach that next devastating Scorestreak.

Cranked Moshpit (Mid-Season)

Returning Mode

Turn up the heat with the debut of Cranked in Black Ops 7. Eliminate enemies to activate the Cranked timer and earn buffs like faster movement, reload speed, and other upgrades. Your life ends when the timer does, so keep it active through constant slaying. Hit zero and you explode.

New Verdansk POI: Drone Labs (Launch)

Eyes up, Operators — the skies of Verdansk have never been more loaded as a brand-new Drone Labs POI arrives east of the TV Station and south of Quarry. Run by Automaton Labs, the facility is ramping up production and unleashing Supply Drones across Verdansk, carrying valuable gear for those who shoot them down and retrieve the goods before the enemy can get there first.

The primary section of Drone Labs features two large L-shaped buildings connected via Zipline and a skybridge. The multi-level buildings are divided between the Administrative Offices and Research and Development, each featuring multiple levels with plentiful loot to collect inside and up on the rooftops for Operators seeking more distant engagements.

Just north of the facility, Operators will encounter a drone obstacle course featuring a collection of wooden structures and flythrough targets to keep your drone piloting skills in top shape. The area is rife with ambush potential, so keep your head on a swivel or get eyes from above and call out enemy positions to your squad.

Weapons Detail

Primary Weapon: FG42 (Launch)

Assault Rifle, Battle Pass Page 3 HVT, Page 15 HVT Battle Pass Blueprint

Levels: 37

MAGS: 3

MAG SIZE: 30

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Full-auto assault rifle. Excellent damage and respectable rate of fire. Balanced by slower handling and short open-bolt delay.

Designed with a side-mounted magazine and front and rear sights for a clear sight picture, the FG42 Assault Rifle presents a reliable armament capable of performing well across a variety of combat scenarios. With low recoil and a rapid recentering speed, burst fire is hardly a necessity, even at longer ranges. Acquire your target, jam down that trigger, and keep firing until you’ve won the fight.

Prestige Attachment

Stock > MFS Ambilateral Stock

Provides a massive bonus to fire rate and removes nearly all horizontal recoil. Aggressive vertical recoil that harms both aiming speed and mobility.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > FG42

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the FG42 (above): Prestige 1: “Zesty.” Prestige 2: “Plume.” Prestige Max: “Momiji.”

Primary Weapon: Gremlin (Launch)

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Muzzle, Barrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Full-auto dual submachine guns. Excellent mobility and firepower, limited at range by inability to ADS.

Go to town with a weapon in each hand using the dual-wield Gremlin SMG. The weapon’s excellent mobility and handling give you the tools to outmaneuver enemies and get up close to inflict maximum punishment. What the weapon lacks in damage per shot, it more than makes up for with the best hipfire accuracy in its class, allowing you to reliably track targets out to the mid-range when using controlled bursts to keep recoil to a minimum. For speed and rapid-fire precision, few compete with the deadly Gremlin.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > 9” MFS Cestus Barrel

Lightweight barrel outfitted with deadly spikes dealing very high melee damage. Provides faster movement speeds.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > Gremlin

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the Gremlin (above): Prestige 1: “Frequency.” Prestige 2: “Core.” Prestige Max: “Bath Time.”

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo and Reticle Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Full-auto light machine gun. Twin reciprocating barrels provide massive damage with manageable recoil. Slow rate of fire, mobility, and handling.

The Mammoth LMG hits hard and stays on target even through sustained fire. The weapon’s low recoil and slow fire rate assists Operators in providing covering fire for their teammates, featuring a Prestige Attachment that rapidly speeds up the weapon’s reaction speed. If you’re itching to lead the charge, consider Attachments that improve the Mammoth’s mobility and handling, such as Fast Mag I, Ranger Foregrip, Quickdraw Grip, Light Stock, and other options that bolster the weapon’s performance in high-speed skirmishes.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > 14” MFS Cascade Barrel

Specialized barrel removes pre-fire delay and movement penalties when firing. Improves ADS movement speed, spread, and recoil, but takes longer to ADS.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > Mammoth

Melee Weapon: Mace (In-Season)

Melee, Weekly Challenge Reward

New: Weapon Attachments

Jäger 45 Grid-Breaker Kit (In-Season)

Jäger 45 Pistol, Weekly Challenge Reward

Attachment > Barrel

New Operators

Both factions bring new blood to the fight as The Guild introduces the Cipher Operator Collection leading Season 05 BlackCell content, opposed by JSOC’s acquisition of the enigmatic Spectre.

Cipher (BlackCell, Guild, Launch)

“Cipher” + Three Unlockable Variants: BlackCell Instant Reward Page

Cipher is the renegade hybrid product of a black budget project that fused condemned inmates with advanced combat sub-systems. Augmented reflexes, enhanced physiology, and an electrically stimulated bloodlust ensure high lethality in any environment.

Escaping during a bloody uprising, Cipher’s team now operate as mercenaries, harboring a burning vendetta against those that created them. Players who purchase Season 05 BlackCell will immediately unlock the base Cipher Operator Skin; complete in-game challenges to unlock three additional variants all capable of inflicting maximum damage.

Spectre (Battle Pass, JSOC, Launch)

“Spectre” and “Viscera” Skins: Battle Pass Instant Reward Page, Battle Pass Completion Page

Next to nothing is known about the presumed wet works specialist, Spectre. The designation itself is a codename agreed on by the various agencies that have pooled their intelligence on unsolved assassinations, inferring his or her existence based on either evidence found at the scene, or from fragmentary reports given by shaken bystanders.

Despite heavy redaction, all accounts suggest an individual capable of extraordinary stealth, able to evade or neutralize the most sophisticated of manned or automated security setups. In every case, Spectre’s victims have been slain with surgically precise mid-line stab wounds with rarely any signs of struggle.

Multiplayer Maps

Zenith

Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Medium-Sized

In a last-ditch effort to reverse JSOC’s gains, The Guild assaults Karma’s sanctuary hidden deep in the jungle. The extravagant compound features everything the expert hacker needs, from state-of-the-art tech and security systems to high end art and breathtaking architecture. In the aftermath of the attack, an armored vehicle lies burning and overturned at the Entrance, a trail of blood leading into the main Office.

Fight within the building or enjoy the view along the main flanking paths on either side, whether you’re traversing the edge of the cliff or taking the upper ground. For greater concealment, try your luck in the running water beneath the compound… but get out when the alarm starts blaring and the red lights flash, a sure sign that you’re about to get swept off the brink.

Launch

Remastered, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Deploy to a Russian rocket launch facility in Launch, returning from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops. At the start of the match, witness the massive rocket being lifted and moved into position over the Launch Pad, preparing for takeoff near the halfway point of the match.

There are no Scorestreaks or Field Upgrades here, and ranged weapons are restricted except for the Equipment items granted to players a few seconds into the round and the Ballistic Knife when it’s chosen as the round’s main weapon.

Black Ops 7: Season 04 Reloaded Zombies

ZOMBIES CONTENT SUMMARY

New Round-Based Zombies Map — Kowakujō: To save the material world and free the last Shadowsmith, the crew makes a harrowing journey to a feudal Japanese castle in the Dark Aether, surrounded by volcanoes and drowning in fire. This is Kowakujō, the next Round-Based Zombies map launching with Season 04 Reloaded.

New Enemies, Wonder Weapon: Engage in battle with the supernatural Oni, wielding a kanabō war club and the power of the Heavens, while evading fire-drenched Hellhounds and Scorched Zombies, eager to immolate the crew with searing attacks. Enlist the help of a mystical new Wonder Weapon, an additional legacy weapon in the Mystery Box, and more.

New Features: Add additional firepower to your squad with the Legendary Hellping Hound GobbleGum, summoning the assistance of a Hellhound against the undead forces. Tackle the Main Quest for XP and rewards and push the challenge in Cursed to unlock new Pack-a-Punch Camos, and more.

New Map: Kowakujō

“This place looks like my home, but it is... off. Like a painting created from memory. — Takeo Masaki

As the crew discovered in Totenreich, the Dark Aether is unraveling, the consequences of which would spell catastrophe for the material world. The crew must now free the final Shadowsmith and recover the mysterious World Seed.

Their quest takes them to the fractured slopes of a volcanic landscape where a crumbling castle harbors a smoldering mystery. Their mission? Face Nyxara’s undead army, liberate the Shadowsmith, and expose the curse that grips Takeo’s soul.

Kowakujō: In the Dragon’s Maw

En route to their destination, the crew nearly succumbs to a scorching end as their rocky platform crumbles away in a river of fire, the undead horde throwing themselves at the desperate protagonists. As the situation becomes dire, a dragon soars overhead, looking for its next meal.

The crew escapes just in time, landing in the Outer Ward. Explore the burning castle, face off against the horde within, and recover Takeo and Carver’s souls...

Kowakujō: New Enemy: Oni

Steel your nerves and prepare to fight for your life when the Oni fixes on you with its glowing gaze. The yōkai embodies wrath and malice, and its pursuit of its foes is relentless, striking targets with a massive spiked kanabō while shrugging off blows with its heavy armor.

With the power of electricity at its fingertips, the Oni will sometimes electrify its melee weapon before launching into a powerful area of effect attack. And don’t assume that running will keep you out of reach, as it can fire electric bolts at distant enemies. When there’s an Oni on the field, there’s only one response at hand: Unload with everything you’ve got.

As if the Oni isn’t terrifying enough, the crew must also contend with Hellhounds and Scorched Zombies. These fiery enemies seek to immolate their targets, so keep your distance until they’ve burned out.

Kowakujō: New Wonder Weapon

Send the flaming undead back to their graves with a mystical new Wonder Weapon. What form will it take? Discover for yourself when Season 04 Reloaded begins...

Kowakujō: Ghostly Rifleman Trap

Shred zombies with ghostly riflemen.

Not all the spirits in Takeo’s childhood home are bound to the Warden’s will. Look for the dual komainu statues guarding many of the doorways throughout Kowakujō and marked with the trap icons on the mini-map. Once the power is on, activate the trap to call upon the castle’s long-dead riflemen, more than willing to lend their fire support against the ravenous horde.

Kowakujō: Rivers of Fire

Watch your step while traversing the castle’s searing grounds. Those rivers of lava aren’t just part of the décor; dip your toes in, and the molten rock will immediately sear your skin and slow you down. Enemies also take some damage here, so use the fire to your advantage while keeping your feet well clear. But beware, as zombies who stay in it too long will become Scorched Zombies!

Kowakujō: New Main Quest, Quest Rewards, and Challenges

The Main Quest for Kowakujō will be available when the map releases with Season 04 Reloaded on June 25 at 9AM PT. Complete the Main Quest to earn the following:

• The “Purified” Takeo Operator Skin, Calling Card, and 10,000 XP.

• Obtain the necessary Intel (Audio Logs, Documents, and Artifacts) to earn a third Calling Card and another 10,000 XP.

• The “Flame Cipher” Pack-a-Punch Camo, Calling Card, and 15,000 XP.

• The “Toxic Cipher” Pack-a-Punch Camo, Calling Card, and 20,000 XP.

• The “Blood Cipher” Pack-a-Punch Camo, Calling Card, and 25,000 XP.

New GobbleGum: Hellping Hound

Bring the fire to your side with the new Hellping Hound Legendary GobbleGum. When the horde gets thick, this relentless canine is the perfect companion to thin out their ranks.

Zombies: Summon a friendly Hellhound to be your best friend. Lasts 5 minutes.

Dead Ops Arcade: Summons three Hellhounds to do your bidding. They will last a round or until they die.

New Ultra-Rarity Mystery Box Weapon

Face the burning horrors of Kowakujō with a new Ultra-Rarity Legacy Weapon arriving in the Mystery Box! Wield the infamous PPSh-41 SMG, ported over to Black Ops 7 with stats rivaling that of a Wonder Weapon including full Pack-a-Punch progression and Ammo Mod capabilities. Unleash hell on enemies with the weapon’s signature large magazine and rapid fire rate, perfect for keeping the heat at bay in the lava fields of Kowakujō.

Call of Duty®: Warzone™ Content

CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE SUMMARY

Rebirth Island Heats Up: With the arrival of summer, brighter weather returns to Rebirth Island. While the winter elements are removed, POIs like Turbine introduced in Season 02 will remain, albeit in a sunnier setting.

New Limited-Time Modes: Gun Game goes bigger than ever with the arrival of Squad Gun Game, challenging squads of three to be the first to cycle through every weapon across Resurgence maps. Later in the season, Buy Back Quads returns as a Weekend LTM.

Take on the Champion’s Quest: The Champion’s Quest returns! For elite squads only, this is the ultimate test of ability. First, you must qualify, followed by a difficult multi-step mission culminating in an explosive ending that finishes the match and secures your standing alongside the best of the best.

A New Season in Rebirth Island

As summer arrives, the snow retreats across Rebirth Island, returning the notorious site to a lusher setting. The island will retain the features introduced in the Season 02 winter update, however, including the Turbine POI located due north of the Prison as well as the Outpost east of Stronghold and other minor changes across the map.

New and Returning Modes

Squad Gun Game

Resurgence Maps, 30 Players

Play Gun Game on an epic scale in Squad Gun Game, dropping ten squads of three across a rotating playlist of Rebirth Island, Haven’s Hollow, and Fortune’s Keep. For every elimination earned, your squad earns one point. Acquire five eliminations to advance to the next weapon tier. The first squad to cycle through all ten weapons wins the match.

Ammo reserves and armor plates are unlimited, so let loose on foes with no looting. When an Operator is eliminated, the location of their remaining squad members is pinged, encouraging aggressive play to chain eliminations. Downed players respawn after ten seconds, so there’s always room to claw your way back up to the top. To keep the action tense, the gas circle periodically shifts throughout the match, not shrinking but adjusting the field of battle.

Keep up the fight, adapt to each new weapon, and don’t stop until you’ve reached the end, cinching that all important victory.

Buy Back Quads

Battle Royale Maps, 152 Players

From July 9 through 13, load up Call of Duty: Warzone to jump into the Buy Back Quads Weekend LTM. To help stay in the running, acquire as much cash as you can in the match; eliminated Operators who carry at least $4,000 in reserve will automatically redeploy, giving your squad the chance to regain and take the lead.

Return of the Champion’s Quest

Best of the best, you say? Now’s your chance to prove it with the imminent return of the Champion’s Quest. Before you can even attempt it, you first need to gain access either by winning five consecutive Core Battle Royale matches or winning 30 matches in total across a single season.

Upon completing either prerequisite, acquire the Champion’s Contract by securing a designated briefcase in the match thus activating the quest. Once activated, the participating squad must embark on a brand new, challenging multi-step mission:

The CQ squad must complete a chain of objectives that will take them across the map, securing critical assets and delivering them to randomized designated locations. Along the way, squads will be tasked with transporting a hazardous radioactive isotope, recovering a valuable hard drive, and escorting a missile transport vehicle.

As the quest progresses, enemy teams will have opportunities to contest objectives, intercept carriers, and disrupt progress. A new “Golden Ticket” system also allows rival squads to extract stolen quest items and earn progress toward a Champion’s Quest token.

Combined with randomized locations, multiple opportunities for interference, and server-wide public events, the new Champion's Quest system turns into a match-wide event that's going to put even the most elite players to the test.

Pass the grueling test to unlock a unique Weapon Camo and a Legendary Animated Operator Skin for Grimm, proving to enemies just how lethal you really are.

For the most elite squads, try your hand at completing additional Champion’s Quests for even more rewards, including the following:

• 1 Champion’s Quest (CQ) Win: “Containment Crew — Alpha” Weapon Camo, “Axia” Grimm Animated Operator Skin

• 2 CQ Wins: “Darkly Dreaming” Animated Calling Card

• 3 CQ Wins: “Nuke Core” Animated Emblem

• 4 CQ Wins: “Death Filter” Spray

• 5 CQ Wins: “Containment Crew — Omega” Weapon Camo

• 6 CQ Wins: “Gamma Stick” Flatline MK.II Melee Weapon Blueprint

• 7 CQ Wins: “Critical Mess” Finishing Move

• 8 CQ Wins: “Axia’s Wrath — Alpha” Animated Weapon Camo

• 9 CQ Wins: “Ion the Ball” Emote

• 10 CQ Wins: “Axia’s Wrath — Omega” Animated Weapon Camo

And Other Rewards: There are other rewards to be earned, though what’s the fun in spoiling everything? For a start, Operators who defuse an armed nuke will be awarded an Animated Calling Card displaying their ability to thwart the enemy’s attempt at ending the match early.

Extract Elements: For those seeking another path toward unlocking the Champion’s Quest Contract, look out for a special Public Event that has a chance of activating within the match, alerting all Operators to an incoming element airdrop. The first player to interact with the dropped goods will initiate a special mission for their squad. Complete the steps before the match ends to earn a Champion's Quest Contract for the whole squad.

Black Ops 7: General Content (END, MP, ZM, WZ)

Weapons Detail

Melee Weapon: Executioner’s Duet

Melee, Event Reward

Levels: 30

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: None

Customize Options: Blueprints

Melee weapon. High damage, short range, and fast attack speed.

Hack and slash foes with the dual wield Executioner’s Duet. With an axe in each hand, be capable of unleashing a variety of slashing attacks designed to chop foes down to size. While the deadly weapon exhibits the shortest attack range of the current Melee Weapons on offer, it makes up for it with the highest mobility rating. Close the distance and start swinging.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > Executioner’s Duet

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the Executioner’s Duet (above): Prestige 1: “Labyrinth.” Prestige 2: “Pop.” Prestige Max: “Radiance.”

Primary Weapon: AN-94

Assault Rifle, Event Reward

Levels: 42

MAGS: 3

MAG SIZE: 30

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo Unlocks (MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Full-auto assault rifle. First two rounds fire at a faster rate. Slower handling and mobility.

The AN-94 makes its triumphant return. Last seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the Assault Rifle features a unique burst mechanism where the first two shots fire at a faster rate before settling into a more moderate fire rate.

Connecting the first two shots is vital to quickly downing foes, and with burst fire you can benefit from the rapid double tap in fast succession. Luckily, the weapon’s clean iron sights make it easy to acquire targets even without an Optic equipped. Whether downing enemy players, Guild and Fear targets in Endgame, or the undead horde, the AN-94 is a reliable armament capable of performing in a wide variety of combat scenarios.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > 15" MFS Triumvirate Barrel

Modified barrel that increases hyperburst shot count to three and increases damage to the upper body. Adds a short delay after between hyperburst and full-auto fire and increases recoil.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > AN-94

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the AN-94 (above): Prestige 1: “Splat.” Prestige 2: “Prism.” Prestige Max: “Abducted.”

New: Weapon Attachments

XR-3 Ion Vulcan Minigun (In-Season)

XR-3 Ion Sniper Rifle, Weekly Challenge Reward

Attachment > Underbarrel

Maximize control with this side-mounted foregrip that provides a focused hip fire with reduced spread and improved aiming movement speed. Blocks Optic Attachments.

DS20 Mirage Dual Fire Kit (In-Season)

DS20 Mirage Assault Rifle, Weekly Challenge Reward

Attachment > Underbarrel

Replaces ADS with high-powered slug rounds. Greatly improves hipfire accuracy, at a small cost to mobility. Blocks Optic Attachments.

Velox 5.7 Carbine Chassis (In-Season)

Velox 5.7 Pistol, Weekly Challenge Reward

Attachment > Barrel

Pistol chassis that converts the Velox 5.7 to full-auto and gives improved range capabilities, at the expense of baseline handling. Unlocks underbarrel and stock customization options.

Development Credits

DMZ // Overview

DMZ // Setting

DMZ // Setting // Hajin: The New Frontline

SUMMARY: Hajin is a dense exclusion zone built around exploration, discovery, and high-risk player-driven operations, where environmental storytelling and hidden discoveries reward players willing to push deeper into the unknown.

DMZ // Operations // Story Missions

SUMMARY: Continue the Modern Warfare 4 story through narrative-driven Story Missions built for replayability, squad-based action, and evolving storytelling throughout live seasons.

DMZ // Operations // Dynamic Operations, Side Ops and Free Roam

SUMMARY: Take on guided Operations featuring evolving scenarios, escalating threats, and climactic moments unique to every match.

DMZ // A Living World

SUMMARY: Rival factions, roaming patrols, and shifting world events ensure that no two operations unfold the same way.

DMZ // A Living World // Emergent Enemies

SUMMARY: Improved AI combatants allow for larger combat spaces with coordinated enemy squads, reactive combat behaviors, and more dynamic infantry and vehicle encounters.

DMZ // A Living World // Escalating Threats

SUMMARY: Escalating threat levels trigger stronger enemy responses, increasingly dangerous reinforcements, and elite forces sent to hunt players down.

DMZ // Progression // FOB

SUMMARY: A hub between operations, your FOB can be upgraded to unlock new services, expand operational capabilities, and prepare your squad for future deployments.

A Tour of Your Forward Operating Base

• Orders and Objectives: Track your active Missions, review completed objectives, check available completion rewards, and plan future operations before heading back into the field.

• Stash and Loadout: Between deployments, players can manage a persistent inventory containing weapons, equipment, consumables, valuables, and special items. Gear can be organized between your Stash, and your Active Duty Operator's Backpack and Loadout. Each Active Duty Operator has their own Backpack and Loadout. The Stash size can also be upgraded by ranking up in DMZ. Operators looking to infil immediately can choose a Free Loadout containing combat essentials.

• Wallet: Use in-game cash primarily to purchase weapons and Gunsmithing attachments, as well as rescuing MIA operators, paying for Lieutenant Intel and much more.

• Completing Missions and Ops is the primary source of cash, wired directly to the Wallet in the FOB. Expenditure of funds is a key consideration in DMZ, and players may wish to employ an Active Duty Operator as a cash mule with particular skills when breaking into vaults, defeating HVTs (or other Bounty-tagged human prey) or completing Dynamic Ops to earn cash.

• 3D Printer: Gather resources throughout Hajin and return them to the FOB’s crafting station: As a general rule, the 3D Printer is capable of manufacturing a vast array of functional equipment and support gear (with a detailed list later in this blog), excluding Primary, Secondary, and Melee weaponry. Recipes unlock the ability to use component resources to craft a wide variety of Gear; items like night vision goggles, ballistic vests, backpacks, consumables, Killstreaks, and other specialized Equipment.

• Gunsmith: Weapons and related attachments are purchased using Cash in Gunsmith. The more effective the weapon or attachment the more expensive they are. As you progress through Mission Orders and extract Weapon Manuals from Hajin, the option of purchasing the weapons directly becomes available, but initially you'll have to rely on weapons scavenged during deployments. You can use cash to modify weapons with attachments you've unlocked, including Apex Attachments, but each one has a cost: suppressors, extended mags, powerful optics, and more all cost extra for the added effectiveness.

  • The Gunsmith allows you to add up to five Attachments to a weapon, along with an Apex Attachment. However, eight-Attachment weapons have been confirmed within Hajin.

  • Weapon Progression tracks across Multiplayer and DMZ.

• Weapon Vendor: DMZ Operators with enough in-game cash can purchase additional specialized weaponry from the FOB’s military supplier. These weapons are added directly to your Stash. The selection is limited and rotating, refreshing after a period of real-time has occurred. If you’re after a professionally built armament and don’t have the time to extract or purchase a gun and modify it, or use the Gunsmith, then this is an excellent option. Weapon Vendor firearms can be adjusted just like scavenged or purchased weapons, and don’t negatively affect your looting or progression.

• Firing Range (First Person): Located adjacent to the Gunsmith and Vendor, the firing range allows Operators to test Primary and Secondary weapon builds in a dedicated first-person training environment.

• Active Duty (Operators): Manage your available Operators, including those awaiting recovery after failed exfils. Each Operator maintains their own persistent Backpack, persistent Loadout, and persistent Trait Tree. This mission readiness allows players to prepare specialized kits for different deployment styles. Operator Traits (see below) can also be managed here.

• Boss Board: Review the latest intel on hostile Lieutenants (LTs); high-ranking enemy targets operating throughout Hajin before you drop into a match and attempt to neutralize these targets. Here, you can pay for intel related to a particular Lieutenant that allows you to pinpoint their location more accurately and reach them before your rivals do. Or climb Hunt Towers across Hajin, accessing a terminal to receive intel on the closest Lieutenant to your location. Slay a Lieutenant, and they drop a set of Dog Tags.

  • Lieutenant’s Dog Tags: Exfilling with these spoils of combat helps populate your Boss Board and are helpful to your continued success as an LT killer. However, they are equally valuable to enemy squads, who can track you via any Lieutenant’s Dog Tags you’ve acquired during a match. Expect fierce resistance from rival teams attempting to appropriate your LT’s Dog Tags, usually at hot exfil points, so they can populate their own Boss Board.

• Bounty Leaderboard: Monitor the most dangerous rival players currently operating inside the Exclusion Zone.

• Deploy: Before deploying into Dynamic Operations or Free Roam your squad can choose how to infil with the Paid Infil System. Go in quiet on foot, or fast and loud in a helicopter or large plane. Do you have the need for a vehicle dropped with you? The game has got you covered.

DMZ // Progression // Active Duty Operators

SUMMARY: Recruit and customize a roster of specialized Operators while earning progression through every operation inside the DMZ.

• Global Player and DMZ XP: Story Missions, Dynamic Operators, and Side Ops are all excellent methods of obtaining XP, along with additional activities and enemy takedowns. This is irrespective of whether you successfully exfilled or not; there are no XP penalties for dying during a match.

• DMZ XP: All XP earned in DMZ upgrades your FOB, unlocks new Stations in your FOB, and ranks up your Operator. This allows you to unlock game-changing Traits to customize your playstyle..

The Trait Operator Progression System

DMZ // Progression // Looting

SUMMARY: Search for weapons, equipment, and crafting materials placed naturally throughout the region based on location and strategic value.

DMZ // Progression // Crafting

SUMMARY: Gather resources throughout Hajin and use the upgraded 3D Printer system to craft equipment, weapons, and high-end gear.

• Gear: Tactical equipment such as NVGs and Parachutes.

• Backpacks: Packs of varying sizes and specializations carried into a match.

• Plate Carriers: Craft different types of armor vests.

• Tacticals: Stock up on strategic, non-lethal equipment.

• Lethals: Assemble offensive equipment designed to damage or eliminate threats.

• Consumables: Beneficial items, from pain killers to radiation blockers.

• Field Upgrades: Abilities providing tactical support or intelligence. Unlike Multiplayer, Field Upgrades in DMZ do not recharge.

• Fire Support Items: Deployable offensive killstreak support.

• Tracked Recipes: A series of tagged recipes you’re on the hunt for.

• Special Items: A wide variety of items used for a wide variety of purposes.

DMZ // Progression // Weapon Condition and Variants

SUMMARY: Recover damaged weapons and rarer enemy variants shaped by the harsh realities of the exclusion zone.

DMZ // Progression // Recovery Systems

SUMMARY: Failed extractions carry real consequences, but recovery systems ensure players can continue progressing and return to the fight.

DMZ // PvP

SUMMARY: Take down rival Operators, build notoriety, and climb the Bounty leaderboard as the hunt escalates.

• Distance-Based Vocal Falloff: Expect to find it easier to hear rival enemies the closer they are to you.

• Directionality: Pinpoint chatter more precisely depending on the direction your foe is approaching from.

• Environmental Voice Reverb: The type of interior structure or exterior topography affects the reverberations and echo of incoming comms, perhaps giving clues to their whereabouts.

See You in Hajin

Endgame Content

FREE TO PLAY: ENDGAME CONTENT SUMMARY

Expanded Operations: At the start of the season, The Guild strikes back in Operation Wall Breaker, introducing new challenges and rewards alongside the deadly Command Killer Glitch Fracture. In the Mid-Season, keep up the fight in Operation King Killer.

Operator Prestige: Achieve new milestones in Endgame with the introduction of Operator Prestige. Hit max Combat Rating and Prestige to unlock even more ways to build your playstyle, including an extra Exotic slot, extra Nightmare slot, and a fourth Skill Track!

New Skill Track, Two Abilities: Make mincemeat out of your foes with the addition of the Death Machine Major Ability. In the Mid-Season, get access to the new Guardian Skill Track and send targets over the edge with the Psych Grenade Minor Ability.

Act III: Operation Wall Breaker (Launch)

The Guild strikes back: a Command Node is preventing Karma’s virus from attacking their network. Scour Avalon for enough Mapping Data to locate the Node and take it down.

The push to infiltrate The Guild’s network has hit a snag, and unless Karma and her allies can find their way past the company firewall, their plans will have been in vain.

In Season 04, players must return to Avalon to find the weak link in Guild security, starting with the search for the region’s hidden network hub. Find it, breach the firewall, and gain the permissions needed to successfully access the command center node.

Once you’ve breached the command node, it’s time to crack The Guild’s operations wide open. Enter the ensuing Command Killer Glitch Fracture and complete the mission.

Defeat the Glitch Boss, Earn Rewards

Operators who progress through the steps in Act III will earn a bounty of in-game rewards, all while empowering your Operator for the challenges ahead. In the final phase, locate the Command Killer Glitch Fracture to battle through relentless waves of enemies in Nightmare Difficulty.

Defeat the Command Killer Glitch Boss with 50/50, Razor, or Faulkner to earn their unique “Shatter Shock” Operator Skins.

Act III Completion Rewards: 

• Earn 1 “Shatter Shock” Operator Skin to earn the “Decay” Weapon Camo.

• Earn all 3 “Shatter Shock” Operator Skins to access the “Visitors” Animated Weapon Camo.

Operation Wall Breaker Rewards

• “Brain Freeze” Weapon Charm and 1,000 XP

• “Cold Shoulder” Weapon Blueprint, “Terms of Service” Animated Calling Card, and 7,500 XP

More in the Mid-Season

There’s no time to let up while The Guild is fighting this hard to maintain their dominance in Avalon. In the Mid-Season, get ready to take on Act IV: Operation King Killer, introducing new challenges and rewards. Get more intel when the Season 04 Reloaded blog arrives in the lead up to the Mid-Season.

Introducing Operator Prestige (Launch)

Starting with Season 04, Endgame Operators with a maxed-out Combat Rating (CR) will gain the option to enter Operator Prestige 1, starting a whole new leveling journey in exchange for greater power. Entering Prestige discards all equipped Skills, resets the Operator’s CR, discards equipped Field Acquisitions, and resets Loadout weapons to their base rarity.

From this fresh state, redeploy to Avalon and start upping your CR again. With each Prestige, your Operator will earn access to additional skillsets, including:

Prestige 1: Extra Exotic Skill Slot

Prestige 2: Extra Nightmare Skill Slot

Prestige 3: Equip a 4th Skill Track

Guardian Skill Track, Two New Abilities

At launch, unleash fury on your enemies as the devastating Death Machine joins the list of available Major Abilities. In the Mid-Season, keep your armor and ammo stocked with the new Guardian Skill Track and send foes into a psychotic spiral with the addition of the Psych Grenade Minor Ability.

Skill Track: Guardian (Mid-Season)

Stand your ground and turn pressure into power. The Guardian skill track makes you a frontline anchor, shrugging off damage, punishing attackers, and sustaining both yourself and your squad. With stronger defenses, better resource drops, and proximity-based revives, Guardians do not just survive the fight, they control it.

Payback: Enemies that damage the player receive damage themselves.

Battle Cache: Increased chance to spawn an Ammo/Armor Resupply pack when eliminating an enemy.

Power Tap: Picking up Ammo/Armor Resupply packs also grants Equipment recharge.

Fortified: Reduce incoming damage for every currently equipped plate. The more plates equipped, the bigger the damage reduction.

Iron Grip: Reduce hip fire bullet spread and reduce flinch when getting hit.

Rescue Pulse: If allies are downed, the player can revive them just by being near them. If the player goes down, other players can revive them just by being nearby.

New Major Ability: Death Machine (Launch)

Deadly machine gun. High damage per shot and large magazine capacity.

New Minor Ability: Psych Grenade (Mid-Season)

Explodes on impact, releasing a lingering cloud of hallucinogenic gas that brain-rots enemies.

Endgame's free-to-play period will extend to the end of Season 05, so bring your friends and jump into all the new content waiting for you in Avalon! If you haven't tried Endgame yet, now's the perfect time to start earning all the Weapon Camos, Operator Skins, and additional rewards the mode has to offer.

Black Ops 7: Multiplayer Content

MULTIPLAYER CONTENT SUMMARY

Multiplayer Maps: At launch, descend into a Guild procedure where the patient’s unstable mind reshapes the map in Liminal, battle within a Japanese game show in Primetime, and watch your step on the remastered Vertigo. In the Mid-Season, play through a map of traps in the new Zenith and activate a rocket on the remastered Launch.

Multiplayer Modes: Wind back the clock with Black Ops Classic, wield sleek weapons in Blueprint Gun Game, and adapt to your given Loadout in 6v6 Gunfight. Later in the season, cycle through weapons in Team Blueprint Sharpshooter and ditch the ranged weapons in Knife Fight.   

Additional Loadout Content: Drop deadly munitions over their heads with the new Iron Rain Scorestreak, a high-altitude, player-controlled aircraft providing a bird’s-eye view of the battle. Upgrade it further with the Active Camo or Tactical Radar Overclocks.

Black Ops 7 Ranked Play: Get wins and climb the Ranks in the next season of Multiplayer Ranked Play, featuring a completely overhauled transparent Skill Rating system where every point of SR earned and lost is clearly explained in the post-match summary.

Multiplayer Maps

Liminal (Launch)

Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Small-Sized

Descend into a live Guild procedure mid-test, where the patient’s response to the experiment actively rewrites the center of the map. When the subject is calm, a red pillar stands intact on a raised platform; when agitation spikes, it fractures and slams into a crater, throwing up fresh cover and new angles around the impact zone.

When the subject accepts the procedure, the space shifts into a “nature” state, with organic growth reclaiming the central structure and subtly reshaping lanes and sightlines. Corridors feed the core from both sides, cutting past elevators on one flank and offices on the other, keeping rotations tight and fights constant as the room changes under pressure.

Primetime (Launch)

Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Let no obstacle stand in your way on Primetime, a new 6v6 Multiplayer map themed around a Japanese game show obstacle course. Battle over speed tracks, Wall Jump across bound pads, and rack up points on the board as Operators weave between supersized crates.

Make a splash across the Pool track running over the water, a catapult on either end providing quick access to the middle. To get out of the limelight, head to the close-quarters Backstage or head further out along the southern Cargo path running parallel to the course.

Vertigo (Launch)

Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized

First introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Vertigo returns fully remastered and ready for action in Black Ops 7. The map features a new Japanese setting, though the layout will be familiar to veterans of the original.

Watch your balance as the wind whips by atop the massive skyscraper, newly refurbished as Guild property. A steep drop-off awaits careless Operators fighting along the outer perimeter amongst the Vents, Utility and Storage sheds, and alongside the Helipad. For sturdier ground, head to the inner walkway connected to the East and West Wing, which funnel players into a tight space with guardrails to keep you from plummeting to your demise. 

Zenith (Mid-Season)

Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Medium-Sized

Breach a luxurious cliffside abode in Zenith, a waterfall in the distance and pristine lighting guiding you through the immaculate grounds. Battle inside the building, marveling at the bleeding edge tech and expensive artwork, and check for details on the site intrusion in the Security room.

For a sneakier approach, traverse the running water below, accessible from the outside and from a secret entrance via the inner Office. Take a good look at the bookshelf to discover the trigger mechanism.

Season 04 Multiplayer Ranked Play

Season 04 Ranked Play Overview

Multiplayer Ranked Play gives players the ultimate competitive Call of Duty experience by offering the same settings, maps, modes, and weapon restrictions used by the Call of Duty® League™.

Earn career rewards throughout the lifespan of Black Ops 7 Ranked Play, including Rank Skins and Win Challenge rewards.

Ranking System Update

Black Ops 7 Ranked Play is getting clearer in Season 04. The SR (Skill Rating) System has been completely overhauled to remove hidden MMR and instead provide full transparency over every single point of earned or lost SR. In Season 04, your SR gains and losses are driven entirely by your visible Rank and your performance relative to the Rank and performance of other players in the match. Outperform players in your Rank or above you and you’ll continue to climb, but struggle to beat players at your Rank or below you and big SR gains will be harder to come by.

SR gains and losses are broken down in detail in the updated Ranked Play Post-Match Summary after each match, so you know exactly what moved the needle. Here are the major changes coming with this SR System overhaul in Season 04:

SR Gains after Wins

The following can be awarded after a Ranked Play win:

• Base Win: Earn a flat +20 SR for every win, regardless of your current Rank.  Scoreboard Bonus: Finish among the top 4 players of the match to earn an SR bonus. The higher your Scoreboard position, the bigger the bonus.

• Opponent Rank Adjustment: Receive an SR Adjustment based on the relative Rank of Opponents beaten compared with your current Rank:

  • Outperform opponents that are higher Rank than you and you’ll receive additional SR bonuses for beating better players.

  • However, get beaten by lower Ranked opponents and your SR total for the match will be reduced because you were outperformed by weaker opponents.

  • Additionally, outperforming lower Ranked opponents will reduce your SR total for the match because you were expected to perform better than the weaker opponents you beat.

  • To maximize your Opponent Rank adjustment and receive big SR gains: prove you belong to a higher Rank by outperforming opponents that are currently in your Rank or are higher Rank than you.

• Underdog Team Bonus: Awarded if you beat a significantly higher-Ranked team, while a Favored Team Penalty is subtracted if the team you beat was lower Ranked.

SR Deductions after Losses:

The following SR deductions and adjustments occur after a Ranked Play loss:

Base Loss: -20 SR is deducted when losing a match in Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond Ranks. This Base Loss amount increases for Crimson Rank and above so that players are required to consistently exceed expectations of their current Rank to continue to climb into the highest Ranks and the Top 250:

• Crimson Rank: -30 SR per Loss

• 10,000 SR+: -40 SR per Loss

• 12,500 SR+: -50 SR per Loss

• 15,000 SR+: -55 SR per Loss

• 17,500 SR+: -60 SR per Loss

• 20,000 SR+: -65 SR per Loss

Underdog Team Bonus: Your SR loss for the match is reduced if you lost to a significantly higher-Ranked team. Lose to a lower Ranked team and you’ll receive a bigger SR loss via the Favored Team Penalty.

Party Size Restriction Update

Back in Season 02, Black Ops 7 Ranked Play introduced Party Size Restrictions that limited players in Crimson and above to two-player parties. This was done to ensure that parties did not give players in the highest Ranks a competitive advantage. However, we’ve seen consistent feedback from players who feel like the current party rules are too restrictive and have impacted their ability to party up with friends in Ranked.

Season 04 changes the Ranked Play Party Size Restrictions. Crimson players will now be free to form up to four-player parties without size restrictions. Iridescent and Top 250 players will continue to be restricted to two-player parties to ensure that parties do not give players competing for the top Rank a competitive advantage.

Season 04 Ranked Play Rewards

 Each season comes with its own seasonal rewards that that can only be earned throughout the duration of that season, including the following Weapon Blueprint, Large Decal, Calling Cards, and Weapon Camos:

• Get 10 Wins: Pro Issue MPC-25 SMG Blueprint

• Get 100 Wins: “Ranked Season 04 – 100 Wins” Large Decal

Survival Map: Nuked (Launch)

Take on the undead horde in Hell’s coziest cul-de-sac as the Nuked Survival map arrives in Season 04.

Battle enemies in the street between the iconic Yellow House and Green House. Far from their idyllic presentation in other forms of Nuketown, this neighborhood is tainted with corruption, and the denizens and their Rad-Hounds are anything but friendly.

Scour the map for upgrades: Perks, Pack-a-Punch, Mystery Box, the Arsenal, Wall Buys, and anything else you can get your hands on to climb the rounds in a confined location, extending from the cul-de-sac out to Trinity Ave. You might not get out alive, but you can at least take down as many undead as you can with you.

Seek out the Jotunn Star Melee Wonder Weapon to meet the challenge head on; attack enemies with the mythical lantern to steal their souls generating power to cast death-dealing fireballs between strikes with the barbed iron chain.

Players who complete Totenreich on Directed Mode will earn the “Dead Man’s Drip” Operator Skin for Weaver, “Totenreich Directed Mode Completion” Calling Card, and 5,000 XP.

For more guidance, pull up our free and official Totenreich Tac Map while exploring the ancient fishing village in Directed Mode, displaying a detailed map showing the locations of the map’s major points of interest, Pack-a-Punch, Wall Buys, Ammo, Perks, Traps, and more.

Starting Room: Totenreich (Launch)

Make your stand in Eidskallen Landing as Starting Room: Totenreich arrives in Season 04. In Starting Room, all pathways out of the starting area are locked, forcing you to make the most out of the space and resources available to you. With no way out of this old fishing village, it’s time to set the bait and take down as many as you can before a cold death overtakes you. Use the following map items to aid in your pursuit:

Totenreich: Mystery Box, Wallbuy (Coda 9), Ammo Cache, Quick Revive, Rampage Inducer, GobbleGum Machine

New Permanent Mode: Rogue Run (Launch)

Drop into a whole new Zombies experience with Rogue Run! This fast-moving roguelite twist on Round-Based Zombies features randomized reward paths, permanent in-mode upgrades, and increasing levels of challenge through five different playlist selections each with their own rewards.

Shape Your Path

At the start, begin with a randomly selected Common Rarity Pistol and infinite ammo. The zombies come fast and hard in this mode, so be prepared for a fight. Make it to the end of the round and choose your reward.

Build Your Loadout: After clearing each round, teleport to an area with three different rewards, each presented on a pedestal. Each pedestal draws from a different pool — utility upgrades, weapons, Perks, Field Upgrades, Ammo Mods, and more. Primary Weapons have infinite ammo but Wonder Weapons and Underbarrels do not.

Claim your reward within the allotted time or it will be chosen for you, then off to the next arena.

Earn Permanent Upgrades: Complete playlist challenges to gain permanent in-match benefits and stronger pedestal reward choices to aid you in future runs. These challenges often require hunting down powerful HVTs.

Included in the possible rewards are permanent Rogue Run upgrades, such as starting with a higher rarity Pistol, or getting access to Wonder Weapons. These upgrades affect subsequent matches in every playlist within Rogue Run, making it worthwhile to progress in each one.

The Rogue Run playlists are as follows:

Target: Luci

Summons volatile attackers that disrupt the fight. Stay mobile or get overwhelmed.

Rewards:

• “Who’s Keeping Score?” GobbleGum and 1,000 XP (complete Round 5)

• Wonder Weapons Rogue Run Reward Feature and 2,500 XP (complete Round 15)

• “Perkaholic” GobbleGum and 20,000 XP (defeat 2 HVTs in a single run)

• “Ray to Play” Calling Card and 30,000 XP (defeat all HVTs in a single run)

Fortune’s Keep Refresh (Launch)

It’s the Fortune’s Keep you know and love, now playable like never before. Revisit your favorite haunts and explore new points of interests with enhanced movement and fresh features that bring a new depth to gameplay. For new and returning players, here’s a review of the major points of interest on the map, followed by a closer look at three updated micro POIs found throughout the island.

The Major POIs

Terraces

Surrounded by high walls and buildings, the Terraces are a well-fortified POI with access points out to the northern shore and toward the adjacent Keep. Stay on the move and avoid the central fountain, a focal point for all the surrounding vantage points around it. Use the stairs and vine trellises located all over the area to gain some elevation.

Keep

Prepare for a variety of engagement types across the Keep; although the structure is large, its sheer number of corridors and rooms turn a long-distance fight into a short one in seconds. The POI extends to the Keep’s outer walls, so check every corner while approaching the sprawling compound, and use all available intel to track enemy movement within.

Gatehouse

The Gatehouse is the entrance to the Keep’s primary grounds and sits directly in the center of the island. Surrounded by several other major POIs, it’s a difficult area to control, though the reward is worth the risk if you’re ready for constant engagements around it. Note the nearby sewer entrance for a concealed flanking path, and the Ascender giving access to the top of the Gatehouse battlements.

Bay

Positioned along the eastern shore, the once peaceful Bay is home to beachfronts, cliffsides, and the new Sea Science Aquatic Laboratory. Use the Bay’s lowered elevation to keep out sight from the main roads, and as a reliable access point for watercraft with helipad right next to the boat launch. Don’t miss the cliff tunnels up the dirt path, providing a stealthy approach toward the Keep.

Winery

Taking up a significant portion of the island’s east end, the Winery is often contested, whether fighting within the center courtyard or sending out suppressive fire around its perimeter. Note that there are several points of access down into the basement below, a haven from the action above, though be prepared for close-quarters combat should an enemy follow you there.

Pier

Like the Bay POI, the Pier offers a respite from the main action of the island, but that hardly makes it a light walk along the beach. Expect to encounter vehicles traversing the Pier as it is also near a major crossroad. Use the dotted beach terrain and scenery, as well as the cliffside, to escape from tough fights and get into a better position for the counterattack.

Lighthouse

Check for snipers when approaching the Lighthouse, an Ascender giving access to its upper platform with views over a significant portion of the surrounding area. The shoreline here is extremely dangerous, with little cover against attacks from above. Instead, consider exploring behind the Lighthouse when traversing the nearby grounds, full of cover points with a tunnel into the cliffside and zipline toward Smuggler’s Cove.

Overlook

Overlook provides a powerful vantage point over the Town and its surrounding areas. The section closest to Smuggler’s Cove features a high-end restaurant with a picturesque view of both the ocean and the eastern end of Fortune’s Keep, while farther up you’ll find a small village area including access to the tallest section of the cliff. Claiming this area offers great map control in the vicinity, so long as the gas hasn’t cleared the place out yet.

Town

Operators seeking close-quarters, urban combat should head into Town along the map’s western shore. A treasure trove a loot awaits within its tightly packed layout, so long as you’re prepared to engage enemies at a moment’s notice and often face to face. Its lower elevation makes the area susceptible to attacks from the outside, so be on the lookout for enemy forces when it’s time to exit the area.

Graveyard

There’s little cover here, but the tombs and outer walls do provide some cover in a pinch. There’s a steep drop off to the shore here, so beware of enemy squads attempting a flanking attack from the west. Within the Graveyard, look for the easternmost sepulcher providing access to a belowground passageway. If you prefer a clear view, climb the stairs to the top of the nearby round tower.

Grotto

Get way below the action in the Grotto, positioned at the base of the cliffs with access to several cave systems leading to other parts of the map like the Lighthouse and the Graveyard. Getting to these cave systems requires landing safely and fighting any enemy squads within the Grotto or directly above on the surface.

Smuggler’s Cove

Secluded from the main island, Smuggler’s Cove upholds its reputation for stockpiling illegally sourced cargo within the deep-sea caves. The shallow waters somewhat limit mobility, so seek out an elevated position when possible. For a quick escape, back up into the cave systems of the nearby Grotto or use the area’s system of ladders, walkways, and Ascenders to reclaim the high ground.

Research Vessel

This pontoon-style watercraft circles the shoreline of Fortune’s Keep in the opening minutes of the match before eventually dropping anchor. The multi-level POI is equipped with a Buy Station, Ammo Cache, UAV Tower, and a limited use POI wide gas decontamination system. It’s the only POI on Fortune’s Keep that maintains a UAV Tower which makes it an incredibly desirable location for tracking enemy movement. When inland, watch for snipers firing from the deck.

Micro POI Updates

Sea Science Aquatic Laboratory

Head to the Bay POI to visit Sea Science Aquatic Laboratory located right on the boat launch. The two-story building features the latest in marine research, though in the midst of battle, keep your eyes peeled for enemies making their way into the main structure. With a staircase on either side and an assortment of tightly packed rooms, combat can erupt at any moment.

For a simpler cover point, move into one of the smaller research center outbuildings, one positioned on the water by the boat launch ramp and the other above the main building for a more elevated vantage point. 

Capt. Bubby’s Chum Haus

Between the Pier and Lighthouse now stands the fast-food restaurant, Capt. Bubby’s Chum Haus. Stop in for some grub straight from the shoreline, from Bubby’s Up-Chunk Chowder to Smothered Seagull Cutlet. The one-story building marks a strong cover point in the area.

Fire out the windows on enemy targets in the surrounding lot or get behind the service counter for defending against enemies attempting to breach the building.

Smuggler HQ

Positioned right near the opening of the Grotto near the Gatehouse, the Smuggler HQ offers a valuable looting and cover point positioned right in the center of the map. Use the cluster of buildings and shipping containers to get out of sight from the main roads, resupply, and ambush unsuspecting passersby. The centrally located POI offers a great pivot point toward other areas of the map, whether your squad’s planning an attack toward the northern Keep or elsewhere on the island.

New Modes and Weekend LTMS (Launch, Mid-Season)

Clash (Launch)

52v52, Verdansk, Returning

Prepare for a largescale team skirmish in the 52v52 Clash Mode, with the battle location taking place in one of nine POIs within Verdansk, including the returning POIs Farm, Promenade East, Quarry, and Boneyard plus five new Clash zones in Airport, Signal Station, Launch Pad, Port, and Factory.

The first team to reach the point limit — or whoever has the highest point total when the match timer runs out — wins the game, with points being allocated as such:

• Earn 1 point per elimination.

• Earn 10 points per completed Contract.

• Earn 20 points per each bonus crate capture.

• Earn 40 points per each Domination point capture.

Get the advantage any way you can, from seeking out vehicles including the new LTV mid-sized truck equipped with a turret, completing Contracts for points and in-match rewards, and building up your cash reserves for Buy Station purchases like the Death Machine, D.A.W.G., and, when it’s time to bring in the big guns, the VTOL Warship. Work with your squad and the greater team to push the fight, capture Domination points, and grind the enemy forces into the dirt.

Black Market access, an Advanced Self Revive, and the return of Champion’s Quest in the Mid-Season. Season 04 brings new tactics and challenges to Call of Duty: Warzone, including the following:

Shadowlink Contract (Launch)

Launching exclusively within Fortune’s Keep, the Shadowlink Contract provides Operators with a satellite phone providing access to an arms supplier on the Black Market. Call in anywhere to purchase the goods in store, a kind of Buy Station on the move. Not satisfied with the offerings? Upgrade the Shadowlink further by completing various tasks, granting access to even more impactful and deadly items.

Advanced Self Revive (Launch)

Arriving only in Resurgence at the launch of Season 04, the Advanced Self Revive is a rare new item that temporarily grants active camo cloaking effects when activated. Get back on your feet and behind cover before the effect wears off, then reposition and gear up for the next fight.

Champion’s Quest (Mid-Season)

The Champion’s Quest returns for the most elite players on both Avalon and Verdansk. Within Core Battle Royale, win five consecutive Battle Royale matches or 30 in total throughout a single season to gain access to the Champion’s Contract, a difficult four-phase mission that when first completed awards a Weapon Camo and Legendary Operator Skin for all in the squad who participate, with further rewards earned for additional Champion’s Quest completions, including:

Primary Weapon: KRS-7.62 (Launch)

Marksman Rifle, Battle Pass Page 3 HVT, Page 12 HVT Battle Pass Blueprint

Levels: 38

MAGS: 3

MAG SIZE: 10

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Semi-auto marksman rifle. High damage and great mobility, limited by significant first shot recoil.

Strong and steady, the KRS-7.62 offers a reliable two hit elimination against unarmored enemies up to 25 meters out, an easy double tap when fighting up close with a third shot required for more distant targets. The weapon’s fast recentering speed makes it easy to stay on target for follow up shots, making this a great option combining accuracy and punch for a powerful contender across all modes.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > 15" MFS Incursion Barrel

Specialized barrel provides a significant improvement to bullet penetration damage, bullet velocity, and visual recoil stabilization. Blocks Fire Mods.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > KRS-7.62

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the KRS-7.62 (above): Prestige 1: “Pathways.” Prestige 2: “Garden.” Prestige Max: “Horde.”

MAGS: 3

MAG SIZE: 60

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo and Reticle Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Full-auto submachine gun with a high capacity, rechambering magazine. Well-rounded with excellent range and recoil.

With 60 rounds in the base model, the CBRS-3 features the largest magazine in its weapon class, capable of reaching 75 rounds with the Redwell Sprocket Mag. This gives the SMG great sustaining power in larger fights, though keep in mind that the magazine requires some manual rotation throughout the firing process.

Prestige Attachment

Magazine > MFS Carousel Fast Mag

Lightweight magazine containing 60 rounds that rechambers on its own to reduce the interruption to sustained fire. Improves reload speed and handling.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > CBRS-3

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the CBRS-3 (above): Prestige 1: “Spectrogram.” Prestige 2: “Fluid.” Prestige Max: “Chameleon.”

MAGS: 3

MAG SIZE: 25

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Barrel, Magazine

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Full-auto specialized rifle. Fires low-velocity homing rounds that lock onto targets.

Make the enemy pay for opening fire on your position with this Special Weapon that fires rounds with light homing capabilities against targets shooting their weapons. The Grimhawk’s low velocity rounds require some getting used to as the projectiles rapidly drop. Watch the curvature from the trace fire and adjust your aim accordingly, getting a little extra help when your target fires back.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > Long Barrel

Modified barrel enabling homing behavior for rounds fired from hip at close range but sacrifices ADS homing functionality. Improves hipfire spread and movement speed.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > Grimhawk

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the Grimhawk (above): Prestige 1: “Bloom.” Prestige 2: “Dragon Dance.” Prestige Max: “Raindrop.”

Primary Weapon: VX Compact (In-Season)

Assault Rifle, Event Reward

Levels: 42

MAGS: 3

MAG SIZE: 25

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (END, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Full-auto assault rifle. Best-in-class rate of fire and excellent handling, offset by lower range and ammo capacity.

What the VX Compact lacks in damage per shot it makes up for with a blistering fire rate. At 25 rounds in the base magazine, this weapon chews through its supply fast, though its manageable recoil and minimal muzzle flare makes tracking targets seamless. It’s well worth getting some practice under your belt; once you’ve unlocked the Fast Mag Prestige Attachment, you’ll be mowing down targets with little downtime. Just watch that ammo count.

Prestige Attachment

Magazine > MFS Impetus Fast Mag

Extended magazine that auto-ejects to achieve the fastest possible reload speed and improves bullet deviation and recoil stabilization.

Camos Confirmed: Weapon Prestige > VX Compact

Primary Weapon: AN-94 (Mid-Season)

Assault Rifle, Event Reward

Levels: 42

MAGS: 3

MAG SIZE: 30

Mastery Badges: Yes

Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods

Customize Options: Blueprints, Camo Unlocks (MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3).

Fully automatic assault rifle. First two rounds fire at a faster rate. Slower handling and mobility.

Veterans of the series will immediately recognize this classic weapon featuring a burst mechanism in which the first two shots of every trigger pull fire at a much faster rate compared to subsequent shots. Toggle the weapon’s firing mode to switch between full auto and a variant of semi-auto featuring the rapid double shot with every attack. Whichever firing mode you choose, hitting your target with the initial burst is crucial to downing foes fast, so take aim and hit the mark. 

Prestige Attachment

Barrel > 15” MFS Triumvirate Barrel

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the AN-94 (above): Prestige 1: “Splat.” Prestige 2: “Prism.” Prestige Max: “Abducted.”

Warfare Without Limits

War erupts on the Korean Peninsula as North Korea launches a full-scale invasion that threatens to destabilize the world in Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 4. A young squad of South Korean soldiers fights to survive on the collapsing front lines, while half a world away a vengeful Captain Price wages a personal war from the shadows as he stays one step ahead of those hunting him. As Price’s off-book mission collides with the forces behind the invasion, the war spreads beyond anyone’s control.

Modern Warfare 4 pushes the series into darker and more dangerous territory, bringing long-running storylines to a powerful and emotional breaking point.

The Campaign drops players into trench warfare in Korea, close-quarters combat in New York, high-octane chases through Paris, SAS night raids in Mumbai, and city-wide assaults to reclaim occupied territory. Multiplayer delivers grounded, precise combat where fluid movement, player choice, and greater control define every engagement. In DMZ, players operate as an off-the-books asset behind enemy lines, where every deployment into contested territory forces hard choices about which objectives to pursue, what to secure, and when to get out.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will launch on October 23, 2026, and be available on PC.

Campaign // Overview

No Line Holds Forever

Fight as Private Park, a young South Korean soldier facing live combat for the first time alongside his squad. What begins as a routine patrol descends into chaos when North Korea launches a full-scale invasion, forcing Park and his unit into a desperate fight through collapsing cities and counteroffensives. The Campaign drops players into the chaos, pressure, and split-second intensity of ground-level combat.

This is a new setting for the franchise, grounded in the military authenticity Modern Warfare is known for and built with attention to the culture, history, and military detail of the region. The conflict in Korea becomes the catalyst for a broader war.

Beyond the front lines, operator-turned-outlaw Captain Price works outside the system he once served. A hunt for revenge draws Price toward a weapon powerful enough to shift the balance of power, setting in motion a conflict far greater than he ever anticipated. Forced into uneasy alliances and illicit operations, Price is pulled deeper into consequences he can no longer escape.

A nightmare scenario unfolds as overzealous leaders, shadow operations, and outside interference push the conflict toward the brink of global catastrophe. From large-scale battles and covert missions to combined-arms warfare and cinematic set pieces, the Modern Warfare 4 Campaign delivers gritty combat and gameplay variety across a war that spreads far beyond the front lines.

Multiplayer // Overview

Modern Warfare 4 Multiplayer delivers grounded, precise combat built around fluid movement that provides greater control in every fight. Below are some key innovations to the series:

Ballistic Authority

For Modern Warfare 4, a new weapon-first technology stack unifies precision aiming, physical handling, realistic audio propagation, enhanced visibility, and smarter combat perception into the most authentic Modern Warfare gunplay yet. Bullet trajectory, weapon motion, Operator stance, camera, audio, FOV, and target visibility all line up in one highly tuned combat fidelity system. The promise is simple: no bloom, no guesswork, and no doubt. Every shot tells the truth.

·      Bloom has been removed, making hipfire shots feel more direct, predictable, and connected to where the weapon is pointed.

·      Recoil, convergence, and weapon handling have been rebuilt to more directly reflect player input.

·      Depth of field and visual effects have been refined to improve enemy visibility without sacrificing authenticity.

·      Weapons respond more naturally to player movement, stance changes, and the environment, creating more consistent behavior in every engagement.

Movement

Movement in Modern Warfare 4 is built around fluidity, control, and player freedom, delivering fast, grounded combat that keeps Operators responsive through every engagement while expanding how players move, fight, and adapt across the environment. Refined movement systems are designed to support a wide range of playstyles:

• Traversal, combat movement, and gunplay transitions are designed to feel seamless and responsive, preserving momentum while maintaining control under pressure.

• Expanded movement options for Mantling, Climbing, Hanging and Jumping create new opportunities to reposition, flank, navigate vertical spaces, and approach engagements from multiple angles across increasingly dynamic combat environments.

• Every movement system is designed to preserve the grounded realism, physicality, and combat intensity that define Modern Warfare while delivering the fluid, cinematic intensity of operating as an elite soldier in the field, whether you prefer a methodical, tactical approach or aggressive plays.

Maps

Modern Warfare 4 launches with a global set of grounded, visually distinct environments spanning locations around the world, with the 12 Core launch maps — each with a custom infil and distinct visual identity — forming the foundation of a broader Multiplayer offering. In addition, Kill Block, a live-fire training facility built for elite operators, gives players a fresh gameplay experience with every new round. Multiplayer also includes dedicated Gunfight maps and multiple Big War maps built for large-scale vehicles and infantry combat across locations shaped by the Campaign’s global conflict.

Every Modern Warfare 4 map is designed to keep combat fast, tactical, and competitive while giving players multiple routes and opportunities to adapt from one engagement to the next.  

Kill Block

Taking place inside the Westbridge Training Facility, Kill Block introduces a dynamic new Multiplayer battleground where the combat space reconfigures between rounds, reshaping sightlines, routes, and cover to keep players adapting in real time. Shaped from a set of purpose-built modular sections capable of creating more than 500 distinct configurations, each match creates its own combat rhythm and tactical challenges. Expect more sections and even more configurations during Modern Warfare 4’s live seasons.

Kill Block supports expanded Gunfight formats, including 3v3 and 10v10 experiences, with future support planned for more core Multiplayer modes. Designed for high-intensity play, Kill Block forces players to think quickly, fight for control, and adjust engagement tactics every round.

Progression and Customization

Modern Warfare 4 expands player customization while making it faster and easier to get into the action. A redesigned Create-a-Class system unifies Operators, weapons, Equipment, and Killstreaks into a single loadout, giving players quicker access to specialized builds tailored to different tactics and playstyles.

Gunsmith returns with deeper customization options while remaining approachable for all players, with attachments now shared by weapon class to streamline build creation and experimentation. New to Modern Warfare 4, Gunny brings a Gunnery Sergeant’s eye to weapon customization, helping players quickly assemble effective builds based on their preferred playstyle and unlocked attachments. Featuring configurations developed by Infinity Ward’s Weapons Team, Gunny can instantly configure practical close-, mid-, or long-range weapon builds tailored to different approaches to combat, while still leaving room for further customization and refinement.

Progression also expands through Apex Attachments. These are specialized unlocks earned by fully progressing a weapon, introducing unique modifications that can significantly change how that weapon behaves in combat. Depending on the attachment, they can alter handling, firing behavior, tactical utility, stealth capability, or combat role, giving fully leveled weapons new ways to perform beyond standard Gunsmith customization. Alongside new weapons, Equipment, and Killstreaks available at launch, players can also enter Prestige at max Soldier Rank to earn exclusive rewards and continue progressing through additional ranks.

Modern Warfare 4 introduces greater player choice through two Prestige paths: Classic Prestige and Regular Prestige. Classic Prestige delivers the traditional reset experience, relocking Create-a-Class progression in exchange for increased XP earn rates and access to exclusive Prestige rewards. For players who prefer to maintain their unlocked Loadouts, Regular Prestige allows progression to restart from Level 1 without resetting Create-a-Class content, offering a more flexible path forward while still rewarding continued progression, with its own set of Prestige rewards and progression milestones.

Additional Multiplayer Intel Incoming

Expect a more extensive look at all aspects of Modern Warfare 4 Multiplayer in the days ahead via the “From the Ward” video series, followed up by a recap blog, including a deep dive into Multiplayer and gameplay systems covering movement and gunplay innovations, maps, modes, progression, and more in greater detail.

DMZ // Overview

DMZ is the definitive Call of Duty extraction experience, a living combat arena where every deployment is a new story. Deploy solo or with a squad into a volatile conflict zone as an off-the-books asset tasked with recovering advanced military technology left in the wake of war. The conditions in the exclusion zone are always shifting, with changing weather, dynamic military objectives, and hostile forces moving throughout the zone.

Loot, fight, negotiate, betray, and extract with whatever you can carry. The harder you push, the harder the world pushes back. Every run is a risk, every encounter is a choice, and no two deployments play out the same way.

Additional DMZ Intel Incoming

You won’t have long to wait for more information on DMZ. Get your first look at DMZ on June 7, including additional details and gameplay-focused coverage.

Technology and Platforms

Every shot. Every moment. Every battle. Modern Warfare 4 delivers the most immersive and technically advanced Call of Duty ever built.

Gameplay-First Visuals at a New Level of Fidelity

Modern Warfare 4 delivers a major leap in visual quality built directly into moment-to-moment gameplay and precision-tuned combat. Industry-leading VFX, lighting, materials, and character rendering work together to make combat clearer, more immersive, and more impactful, from explosions, smoke, and atmospherics to character detail and readability in dense, high-action scenes, even on maps filled with lush foliage and teeming with enemy combatants.

Fully Optimized for Current-Gen Hardware and High-End PCs

Modern Warfare 4 is built natively for current-generation PC, enabling greater scale, density, responsiveness, and consistency across every mode. Players will experience larger combat spaces, more active worlds, clearer engagements, and more consistent moment-to-moment performance. This current-generation focus goes beyond visual fidelity, helping Campaign, Multiplayer, and DMZ feel fluid, more responsive, and built for the full scope of Modern Warfare 4.

·      Modern Warfare 4 will launch on PC.

·      You can digitally preorder Modern Warfare 4 now on PC.

A Focus on PC

Modern Warfare 4 is built with a renewed focus on the PC community, with Infinity Ward and Beenox partnering to give players more ways to tune performance, visual fidelity, responsiveness, and customization on PC.

·      PC-specific performance optimizations are designed to support a wide range of hardware, from players prioritizing high frame rates to those pushing maximum visual fidelity.

·      Multiple upscaling and frame generation options give PC players more ways to balance image quality, performance, and responsiveness.

·      Expanded graphics options give players more control over how the game looks, performs, and feels.

·      For players who want to push visual fidelity, high-end PC options include DLSS 4.5 support, expanded real-time ray tracing across Campaign, Multiplayer, and DMZ, improved performance across ray-traced reflections, ambient occlusion, shadows, and volumetrics, and higher-fidelity VFX and volumetric settings.

Raise the Stakes

The ongoing battle between JSOC and The Guild heats up as the balance of power shifts. With guidance from Karma, expert infiltrator Cole “Javelin” Donovan has successfully hacked into The Guild’s system using his C-Link device, allowing JSOC to turn The Guild’s own defenses against them. Will they use this newfound advantage to push toward victory and tear apart the oppressive conglomerate? Or will their enemies regroup in time for the counterattack?

Season 03 Reloaded fans the flames with a firestorm of new content across all modes, including new experiences like Heat Wave Havoc and Hot Pursuit joined by extra maps, game modes, the next Round-Based Zombies Map, and additional Weapons, Blueprints, Operator Skins and more earned across Mid-Season Events and Weekly Challenges. 

Gear up and engage the enemy when the Mid-Season update arrives in Call of Duty®: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone™ on Thursday, April 30 at 9AM PT.

Black Ops 7: Season 03 Reloaded Endgame

ENDGAME CONTENT SUMMARY

Endgame Free to Play Update: Endgame remains free to play for a limited time, offering new and returning players the chance to drop into the co-operative PvE experience focused on squad-based runs, boss, encounters, and repeatable challenges.

Operation Broken Mirror: Operations deepen with the introduction of Act II: Operation Broken Mirror, introducing new challenges, rewards, and the Virus Injection Glitch. Complete the Operation with Vermaak, Zaveri, or Jurado to earn a new Weapon Camo, and with all three to access a new Animated Weapon Camo.

New Major Ability: Set enemies aflame with the new Thermal Spike Major Ability, punishing foes caught in the path of fire.

Endgame Remains Free to Play

Endgame will remain available as a free-to-play game mode for a limited time. Access the mode from the main Call of Duty menu and within Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops 7. Recruit new players to face the challenges within Avalon in this co-operative PvE mode where squads encounter increasingly difficult combat zones while taking on bosses and repeatable challenges while evolving their Operator along the way.

Learn more about Endgame here.

Act II: Operation Broken Mirror

Our insider has established a link. Infiltrate the Guild network and gather enough Diagnostic Data to develop a virus that can destroy the network.

Act II is about breaking the system, not just learning it.

With JSOC now linked to Javelin following Operation Poison Pill, the team confirms The Guild’s attempt to stand up a mirror C‑Link network. Karma’s objective is clear: build a virus powerful enough to shut it down... but doing so requires first mapping the network’s true structure.

Players return to Avalon to gather Diagnostic Data through targeted operations that disrupt Guild assets and expose the mirror network’s inner workings. These missions escalate toward the discovery of a Glitch Fracture, allowing players to breach the network’s corrupted core. By exploiting that breach, JSOC gains a delivery path for Karma’s virus, putting Javelin in position to deploy it from within and collapse the mirror network entirely.

Earn new rewards for every completed objective, including powerful upgrades for your Operator that will aid them in future steps.

In the final step, gain access to the new Virus Injection Glitch and take on the Glitch Boss. Operation rewards include a new Weapon Blueprint, Emblem, Double XP Token, Restore Token, Loading Screen, and more, detailed below.

Note that while Operation Poison Pill started with objectives that needed to be completed in Zone I or higher, Operation Broken Mirror begins with a Zone III or higher requirement right from Step 1, so ensure your Operator is up to the task before starting this Operation!

Face the Virus Injection Glitch, Earn Rewards

Earn a variety of valuable rewards and get powered up as you progress through the steps. Discover the location of the Virus Injection Glitch and take on waves of enemies and the Glitch Boss in Nightmare Difficulty.

Defeat the Virus Injection Glitch Boss in the final step of Operation Broken Mirror with Vermaak, Zaveri, or Jurado to earn the unique “Aftershock” Operator Skin.

Act II Skin Completion Camos:

• Earn 1 “Aftershock” Operator Skin to get the “Braincase” Weapon Camo.

• Earn all 3 “Aftershock” Operator Skins to get the “Neon Gallows” Animated Weapon Camo.

Black Ops 7: Season 03 Reloaded Multiplayer

MULTIPLAYER CONTENT SUMMARY

Multiplayer Maps: Don’t get too relaxed in the Onsen hot springs map designed for 6v6 and 2v2 matches; the spa’s laid-back design is a ruse for the heated combat ahead. Plus, cool off with the Remastered Summit and revisit Hacienda.

Freerun: Put your movement skills to the ultimate test as The Guild recruits volunteers for a new training program. Compete against fellow Operators through 10 different zones of dexterity and marksmanship to see who can get the best time and earn rewards for completing objectives.

Multiplayer Modes: Support your teammates and play the objective to raise your Heat level and gain Operator bonuses in Heat Wave Havoc. For a cooler experience, play a game of Freeze Tag where it’s your team’s goal to chill the enemy while keeping your allies in the fight.

Multiplayer Maps

Onsen

Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Small-Sized

Assault a remote onsen in Yamanashi as a clandestine deal falls apart and fighting erupts. Pass by the oni statue on your way into the hot springs, the rising steam obscuring visuals across. Take the plunge or climb up the opposite building into the war room featuring a powerful balcony vantage point and access to the outer cliffside. Relax along the pool, terrace, and sauna, or cut enemy foes off at the underpass.

Summit

Remastered, 6v6, Medium-Sized

The iconic Summit returns as players breach a dangerous Russian facility perched atop a snow-covered mountain. This classic mid-sized map was first introduced in the original Black Ops, its three-lane layout funneling Operators into hot zones like the central control room and across the narrow cliffside and catwalk.

This remastered version offers the most detailed incarnation of Summit to date, with Wall Jumping adding a new twist to the many battles head.

Hacienda

Returning, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Attack a fortified crime family estate as rival forces storm the mansion grounds in Hacienda, a classic mid-sized map centered in and around the grand villa. Gawk at the luxury vehicles in the driveway on your way to the foyer opening onto the estate. Enjoy the art and engage in long fights down the Gallery or stretch your legs out in the vineyard. For a more relaxed experience, stroll through the garden and take a dip in the pond.

First seen in 2018, Hacienda fits right into Black Ops 7, bringing both new and classic environments to the Mid-Season map pool.

Multiplayer Modes

Freerun

New Mode, Launch

The Guild is seeking early volunteers for a new Project Synapse training program, providing contestants the opportunity to prove themselves as you race against the clock while overcoming obstacles.

Overseen by Dr. Atwood, the Freerun course takes place on the Ascent map, a Guild Tower construct designed specifically for the Freerun mode. When the race begins, follow the track to progress through an increasingly demanding 10 zones, testing your abilities across a variety of challenges. Pull off difficult Wall Jumps, slide under low walls, hop across spinning platforms, and, as the course ramps up, use a variety of weapons to hit targets, opening the path forward.

Later zones will further challenge you with the addition of the Grappling Hook and Wingsuit, ensuring that contestants are tested on every facet of combat maneuvers. With ten racers per match, you’ll need to keep up your momentum to pull ahead.

Freerun Course Rewards:

• Complete the Freerun: Ascent course three times to earn the “Scaled” Emblem and 1,000 XP.

• Collect all Ciphers in Freerun: Ascent to earn the “Upswing” Weapon Charm and 2,500 XP.

• Complete the Freerun: Ascent course in under 14 minutes with fewer than 10 faults to earn the “Innovate” Universal Weapon Camo and 5,000 XP.

Compete for additional rewards in the Mid-Season Freerun: Ascent Challenge Event—including two additional Weapon Camos—detailed in the Season 03 Reloaded Events section found below in the General Content section of this blog.

Heat Wave Havoc

New Mode, In-Season

Get fired up in Heat Wave Havoc, a new LTM that rewards Operators with enhanced abilities for supporting their team with non-lethal cooperative actions. Drop into a Mosh Pit of Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint, and see how hot you can get to become a firestorm of destruction.

Operators progress through five different Heat Levels, each level granting additional abilities improving combat efficiency. Generate heat through support actions like revealing enemies, scrambling enemy radars, buffing teammates, impairing enemies, capturing and defending objectives, and other non-lethal actions.

Support your team to generate heat and gain Operator bonuses based on your Heat Level as follows:

·  Low Heat: Faster Field Upgrade recharge.

·   Medium Heat: Faster movement, sprint-to-fire speed, and mid-air mobility.

·   Hot: Faster weapon reloads, ADS speed, and swap speed.

·   Extra Hot: Equipment refills after eliminating enemies.

·   Extra Extra Hot: Increased damage and score for headshots.

Freeze Tag

New Mode, In-Season

Cool off with a game of Freeze Tag, a new 6v6 respawn mode where teams compete to freeze their enemies while keeping allies thawed and in the fight. Eliminated Operators drop into a frozen state, where they are unable to complete any actions until a teammate shatters them free by shooting or otherwise damaging their downed teammate.

If one team manages to freeze the entire enemy team, a Total Freeze will occur, releasing all Operators from their frozen status and awarding the team who froze all enemies a large score boost. Use your mini-map to track the location of frozen teammates, so you can prevent a Total Freeze from being inflicted on your side. The first team to reach the score limit wins.

Black Ops 7: Season 03 Reloaded Zombies

New Round-Based Zombies Map — Totenreich: The crew descends on an old Norwegian fishing village, first founded during the Bronze Age and now caught in the Dark Aether. Welcome to Totenreich, the new Round-Based Zombies map arriving with Season 03 Reloaded. Explore the unsettling relationship between the locals and the Group 935 research facility established there, investigating nefarious experiments in the wake of giants.

New Enemies and Wonder Weapon: Face the dreaded Necropincer, rising from the depths to attack the unwary with its deadly trident and a ferocious mutated claw. Also wield the Jotunn Star, a wide-sweeping melee Wonder Weapon that bathes and burns enemies with spectral energy.

New Features: Roast zombies to a crisp with the Flammenfalle Trap, bringing much needed heat to this cold island. Still not hot enough? Try out the new Wild Fire Field Upgrade to pulse waves of fire that burns enemies who get too close. Take on the Main Quest for XP and rewards, test your skills in Cursed, unlock new Pack-a-Punch Camos, and perhaps find a fabled Ultra-Rarity Legacy Weapon within the Mystery Box!

New Map: Totenreich

“Welcome to Eidskallen – Sorry about the reception committee.” — The Twins

The time loop is broken, and following the Dark Heart’s defeat in Paradox Junction, the Twins transport the crew to a new destination: Eidskallen, a Norse fishing village on a blustery, windswept coast that has been inhabited since the late Bronze Age. Historians have noted that the site has been occupied through the centuries, all the way to the age of Vikings, and into modern times. Indeed, evidence of medieval Norse structures can be found across the island, from burial mounds, a feasting hall, and a strange stave church. All overlooked by an ominous lighthouse, still shining its light into the gloom.

The entire settlement has been ripped from reality, casting the Group 935 research base and their hulking mechanical machinations into the Dark Aether.

“… this place… is mein legacy.”

Deploy to the frozen birthplace of nuclear fire and explore the ancient village that Group 935 transformed into a research base hiding sinister secrets.

Totenreich: Giants Collide

As a towering Shadowsmith threatens to crush them underfoot, the crew barely escapes. The gigantic creature is bound to this place, and you must explore the island to get to the bottom of its dark past.

Uncover rickety pathways and use ziplines to cross frozen, icy waters as you navigate the island.

Totenreich: New Enemy: Necropincer

Tales tell of a doomed undead Viking warrior spirit—known to some as a Draugr— challenging invaders to vicious armed combat. It seems the presence and the sheer brutality of Group 935 have awakened an unnatural aberration that rises from the cold seas to aid in the protection of Eidskallen. Said to be summoned by those “followers of the old ways,” these frightening chimeras now attack on sight, perhaps driven mad after further experimentation by Group 935 itself.

The Necropincer wields a trident, piercing and stabbing adversaries who venture too close, while throwing the weapon at more distant foes. With its giant crab claw in place of a left arm, the creature can also block incoming shots and use this pincer to slam and bludgeon. This is an enemy equally prepared for offense and defense. A relentless combatant, the Necropincer exemplifies the cold death awaiting those unable to stand up against its formidable aggression.

Totenreich: New Wonder Weapon: Jotunn Star

Mastery Badges Available for this Weapon

Forged when Odin ruled the sky and giants walked the land, this ancient lantern casts death-dealing fireballs and strikes down foes with a barbed iron chain. Are you worthy to wield it?

This wide-sweeping Melee Wonder Weapon can take on even the most cold-hearted of enemies, stealing their souls for use in generating devastating attacks. A Norse artifact fortunately hidden from Group 935’s covetous hands by those on the island familiar with its myths and “old ways,” the Jotunn Star casts light and deadly fire.

With the Jotunn Star in hand, the wielder can attack enemies to inflict major damage. Striking them with up to five attacks in a row unleashes a deadlier hit, releasing an area of spectral energy on impact.

Lantern Swing: A dexterous wielder can swing the weapon in front of them, using the blunt instrument to drop advancing undead.

Flame Charge: The Jotunn Star drains the essence of creatures it eliminates, storing the energy within the weapon. This energy can be stored to provide warmth and to enable the Flame Tendril and Flame Strike attacks.

Flame Tendril: When two or more fully charged lanterns are being utilized, a fiery cord connects them and slowly drains the life of anything that gets in its way

Flame Strike: When sufficiently charged, the stored energy within the Jotunn Star can be discharged as a concentrated, explosive fireball, damaging and setting foes alight.

Totenreich: Flammenfalle Trap

Roast foes with a blast of flames.

Drop some Essence to spin up this new trap that shoots out three jets of flame incinerating undead foes in range of the hot blasts. Once you’ve got the power back up and running, this scorching trap is just the ticket if you want to heat up your slaying capabilities.

Enhance the Flammenfalle’s abilities by activating a valve on the body of the trap, activating a heat zone that protects the crew from chilling effects, gives weapons the chance to trigger Napalm Burst, and passively builds the Jotunn Star’s Flame Charge while inside of the heat zone.

Totenreich: A Chill in the Air

Totenreich: New Main Quest, Quest Rewards, and Challenges

The Main Quest for Totenreich becomes available when the map releases with Season 03 Reloaded on April 30 at 9:00 AM PT. Complete the Main Quest to earn the following:

• The “Ambition” Richtofen Operator Skin, Calling Card, and 10,000 XP.

• Complete Totenreich Mastery Challenge for another Calling Card and 5,000 XP.

• Obtain the necessary Intel (Audio Logs, Documents, and Artifacts) to earn a third Calling Card and another 10,000 XP.

• Players who complete the Main Quest before Directed Mode arrives for this map will also earn a unique Calling Card variant.

Totenreich: Cursed Mode, New Pack-a-Punch Camos

Take on the ultimate challenge with Cursed mode on Totenreich, offering no Main Quest guidance and providing a limited HUD and a starting Pistol. Hunt down new Cursed Relics and earn rewards including the following:

• The “Jade Legion” Pack-a-Punch Camo, Calling Card, and 15,000 XP.

• The “Crimson Legion” Pack-a-Punch Camo, Calling Card, and 20,000 XP.

• The “Heliotrope” Pack-a-Punch Camo, Calling Card, and 25,000 XP.

New Field Upgrade: Wild Fire

Imbue yourself with fire, increasing your speed and burning all enemies that get too close.

When the swarm is on you, or you need to push through the thick of it, Wild Fire may keep you safe. Activating this Field Upgrade radiates pulses of heat from your location that also engulfs enemies near the wielder, while you enjoy a small increase in speed. Wild Fire becomes even more powerful with its Augments, capable of incinerating anything that stands in your way.

Major Augments

Fireball! While Wild Fire is active, fire balls will launch along with your attacks.

Firestorm: On activation, deploy a fire tornado that pulls in and immolates enemies.

Free Radical: While Wild Fire is active, the effects of the attack occasionally drop pools of fire on the ground.

Flashover: Starting with the initial activation, every third Wild Fire pulse deals significantly more damage in a larger radius.

Minor Augments

Oxidizer: Increase Wild Fire’s duration.

Backdraft: On activation, nearby zombies are knocked down, and larger enemies are stunned.

Molten Core: Enemies are dealt more damage the closer they get to you.

Heat Surge: While Wild Fire is active, your movement speed is increased even further.

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 Reloaded Content

CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE SUMMARY

New Limited-Time Modes: Engage in a high-speed chase of Police vs. Thieves in Hot Pursuit, a new limited-time mode testing your driving skills throughout Avalon. In Prop Hunt Royale, the party mode arrives as 24v24 on Rebirth Island, featuring over a dozen prop types to help players blend in with the environment.

Power Up with Spikes: Check your local Buy Station for the introduction of Spikes, an experimental military stimulant granting Operators improved combat capabilities including Armor Salvaging, Prone Firing, and Handicraft.

Lethal Addition: The Cluster Grenade arrives in the Mid-Season across Core Battle Royale and Resurgence modes, the ideal weapon for scattering and blasting enemy squads.

New Limited-Time Modes

Hot Pursuit

Avalon, 100 players, Black Ops Royale

Drop into a high intensity squad mode where Police hunt down Thieves in a fast-paced, vehicle-driven game mode that will test your driving skills and see just how well you really know the streets of Avalon. To keep the action moving, Hot Pursuit features an increased vehicle spawn rate across the map, and with Resurgence rules in place, Operators will respawn up to a certain point as long as one squad member remains alive.

Police

Police vehicles include the ATV, JLTV, and the Light Heli. Activate the sirens on these vehicles to initiate a radar pulse, showing nearby Thieves on the mini-map. In the Light Heli, this ability expands to include directional information on enemy movement.

All Police vehicles also have the ability to see enemy vehicles through walls, so keep up the pressure and don’t let those robbers get away.

Thieves

Thieves get access to the UTV and Dirt Bike, preferring speed and mobility to zip through Avalon and leave the Police in the dust. With the UTV, players can activate a boost for increased speed, while the Dirt Bike allows players to trigger Active Camo and drop a Smoke Grenade. Both vehicles also have a passive ability guiding Thieves toward special loot caches with high quality items inside.

The last squad standing wins.

Prop Hunt Royale

Rebirth Island, 48 players

Prepare to join in on the fun of Prop Hunt in a large-scale setting as the party mode deploys to Rebirth Island. In this 24v24 round-based mode, teams alternate between the role of Hunters and Props.

Props

Props get half a minute at the start of the round to select a prop and hide. From loot caches to office chairs, Buy Stations, barrels, and over a dozen other options, Props will test the Hunters’ ability to detect the real from the fake.

Props can change up to three times and provide a limited number of Decoys and Stun Grenades to keep the Hunters at bay. Props can move but cannot swim underwater and will also emit a whistle effect at certain points throughout the match to keep the pressure up. If at least one prop remains at the end of the round, the Props win that round.

Hunters

It’s the Hunters’ job to seek out the Props and eliminate them, so evaluate your environment carefully. Was that item always there?

Hunters can additionally seek out ground loot and loot caches for access to weapons and other gear including Stun Grenades and Grappling Hooks. Lethals and Field Upgrades are disabled. If Hunters eliminate all Props during a round, they win that round. 

The first team to win three rounds wins the match!

New Equipment: Spikes

You need every advantage you can get when competing in Call of Duty: Warzone, and Spikes are the latest means of getting ahead of your foes. Once the Mid-Season launches, deploy and head to a Buy Station to purchase the experimental military stimulant, including the following options:

· Armor Salvaging: Immediately gain an equipped Armor Plate after eliminating an enemy.

·  Prone Firing: Greatly reduce weapon recoil while crouched or prone.

·  Handicraft: Regenerate Equipment over time.

Fallen Operators will need to repurchase Spikes, so keep up the pressure and don’t let the enemy get the first shot.

Lethal Addition: Cluster Grenade

Devastate enemy squads as the Cluster Grenade expands from Black Ops Royale into Core Battle Royale and Resurgence modes across Call of Duty: Warzone. With this deadly munition in hand, they won’t stand a chance.

Bringing Avalon to Call of Duty: Warzone through Black Ops Royale, players were introduced a new way to engage with the Black Ops universe. Now, for a limited time, Endgame is also coming to Call of Duty: Warzone!

For newcomers, Endgame is a co-op PvE experience focused on squad-based runs, boss encounters, and repeatable challenges. Players push through combat spaces together, taking on increasingly difficult encounters across each run. Progression systems like Exotic weapons and Nightmare skills unlock through gameplay and expand your options over time, adding depth as you continue playing.

Players can earn XP, complete challenges, and unlock rewards tied to ongoing seasonal updates.

For a limited time, the full Endgame experience (not including the Co-Op Campaign) is available directly within Call of Duty: Warzone.

Endgame Season 03 Content Overview

As Season 03 adds further challenges and rewards across Avalon, including the introduction of Operation Poison Pill, now’s the time to grow the ranks and push the attack. Players will continue to progress and earn XP as normal while playing Endgame, tied into the same leveling journey across all four modes.

By default, players who do not own Black Ops 7 will begin their Endgame journey with four Operators to choose from: Mason, Anderson, 50/50, and Samuels.

Loadout Updates

Starting in Season 03, Endgame Loadouts will be individually assigned to each Operator, so that each separate Endgame Operator has their own Loadout including Weapons, Field Acquisitions, and Equipment. Operators who exfil with a Scorestreak or Self Revive will also save those items for the next deployment. This change provides more customization options, as players can now find and equip a unique Exotic Weapon for every Operator and craft builds that are unique for each fighter.

For players who have already experienced Endgame, your existing Loadout will automatically be assigned to your active Operator. All other Operators will start with a default Loadout.

Reset Combat Rating: Players may optionally reset an Operator's Combat Rating to 0 if they want to start fresh with a new Operator Build. This will not affect the Operator's Loadout, as Weapons, Equipment and rarity are preserved. Note that resetting the Combat Rating will also discard Exotic and Nightmare skills.

Reset Skill Track: Once you’ve fully progressed an Operator’s Combat Rating by unlocking all Power Upgrades and Skills, you may choose to reset one of your Skill Tracks. Resetting a Skill Track removes all associated Skills and reduces the Operator’s Combat Rating by 16 to reflect the lost power.

The next time you increase your Power, you’ll be offered two new Skill Tracks to choose from, giving you greater flexibility to shape an Operator build that better fits your playstyle.

Updated Loss Rules

As Endgame content becomes more dangerous with Glitches, Guild Strikes, and Nightmare Difficulty zones, the loss rules have been updated to limit how much Combat Rating (CR) players can lose from Skills and Power Upgrades.

If a player or squad is wiped, the total Combat Rating lost from earned Skills and Power Upgrades is capped at 15 CR. This means players can lose no more than 15 CR of progression per wipe.

Nightmare Skills and Exotic Skills are still fully lost, and the player’s Loadout is reset. Because these Skills contribute to total Combat Rating, their removal will also reduce CR accordingly.

Introducing Operation Poison Pill (Launch)

Season 03 ups the ante and introduces Operations into Endgame, kicking things off with Operation Poison Pill. Operations run on a series of strict objectives designed to be cleared across multiple matches. Secure rewards for every objective you complete and systematically power up your Operator for the fight ahead. Clear the final objective to finish the job and unlock direct access to the new Link Forger Glitch Fracture. Operation rewards include a new Weapon Blueprint, Emblem, Double XP Token, Loading Screen, and other rewards, including the new Restore Token consumable item, described below.

You’ll want to do your best to keep your Operator in top shape throughout the Operation, especially if you want to remain on track to earn the final rewards (see below), including an animated Weapon Camo.

Enter the Link Forger Glitch, Earn Rewards

Complete Operation steps to earn valuable rewards, power up, and discover the location of the Link Forger Glitch Fracture, in which you and your squad will battle through relentless waves of enemies in a Nightmare Difficulty arena.

Multiplayer Maps

Beacon (Launch)

Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Deploy to the frozen terrain of Beacon, a remote Guild facility blanketed in snow. A destroyed helicopter lies in flaming ruins just outside the map’s border and crates labeled with “Skyveil Array” fill the entrance, offering substantial cover while moving toward the facility.

Inside, hunt down targets within the Housing unit, Monitoring Station, and Storage shed. Watch out for enemies positioned around the central Bridge and take long shots across the distant Tundra. This mid-sized map combines a variety of sightlines, so there’s no wrong approach. Bundle up, head out, and keep warm with aggressive tactics to overwhelm the enemy forces.

Abyss (Launch)

Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Small-Sized

From the Engine to the Torpedo Bay, battle through the confined quarters of a submarine, trading shots along narrow corridors with just enough room to outmaneuver your opponents. Keep a keen eye out for rope Ascenders placed throughout the sub, giving access to the Forward and Aft Decks up top to push for the flank... but be mindful of players at the top of the Sail who have views of the upper decks.

In the interior time your movements through tight spaces while seeking out vantage points throughout, such as the upper walkway in the Forward and Aft Silos. When on the same level as your opponent, dodge and weave amongst the boat’s various obstacles to outmaneuver your foe using any means possible.

Plaza (Launch)

Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized

First introduced in Black Ops 2, Plaza has been beautifully remastered for the first time since 2012. With the addition of Wall Jumping and Black Ops 7’s unique arsenal, this is Plaza like you’ve never experienced it before.

Battle across the outer Mall and through the Concourse as fireworks burst in the night sky. In the center, engage in fierce fights over the iconic stairwell, rising to an upper platform on both sides, grenades flying as Operators seek to damage enemies on the other side. Explore the luxurious interior locations of the Colossus Resort, including the popular Luna Nightclub alongside high-end shops, the extravagant Red Bar, and other staples of the rich life at sea.

Gridlock (Launch)

Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Traffic grinds to a halt in the remastered Gridlock, first introduced in Black Ops 4. An explosive heist has left the freeway in shambles over a Japanese city. Battle among overturned vehicles and through the rubble, the remnants of the attack flown across the various shops and Promenade.

Fight through the Garden and Terrace bookending the bath house, or take to the long sightlines down the Street, a delivery truck on either end providing excellent views all around. For a more covered view, head into the Restaurant, offering killer vantage points from multiple angles.

Mission: Trident (Launch)

Brand-New Skirmish Map, 20v20

Season 03 continues to up the map offering in the 20v20 Skirmish mode with Mission: Trident. The Old Arsenal Avalon point of interest is the latest area of operations, with patrol boats assisting in navigating the waterways and shoreline through harbor warehouses and numerous medieval fortifications.

Seek the helipad on the high ground atop a section of an old cruise liner, with a surprisingly opulent interior. Then watch for rooftop snipers across the long sightlines, ramped bridges, and other thoroughfares.

Onsen (Mid-Season)

Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Small-Sized

Head out to the Japanese hot springs in Onsen, but don’t get too relaxed. This spa offers a number of places to cool down, though the central steam bath is where the action is likely to heat up, especially as it offers the perfect cover for incoming attacks.

Weave past the oni statue on your way to set up heightened cover positions along the main structure, with outbuildings either side of the steam bath.

Summit (Mid-Season)

Remastered, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Summit makes its triumphant return in Black Ops 7! First seen in the original Black Ops, this classic mid-sized map brings Operators to a research facility perched high on the snowy mountains. Wall Jump through tight interior labs, catwalks, and a central control room surrounded by exterior routes and a dangerous cliffside.

Its balanced three-lane layout supports fast engagements, flanking paths, and vertical sightlines, now explorable through the updated Black Ops 7 movement system.

Hacienda (Mid-Season)

Returning, 6v6, Medium-Sized

The luxurious vineyard estate returns from Black Ops 6, now with additional maneuvering points via Wall Jumps. Battle through the grand central villa, weave between vineyard paths, and push through the garage and courtyard as firefights erupt across the property.

With a classic three-lane layout blending tight interior fights and open exterior sightlines, Hacienda delivers fast, tactical engagements in one of the most stylish battlegrounds in the Black Ops series.

Ascent (Mid-Season)

New Special Map, Freerun Mode

This brand-new special map has been created specifically for the Freerun mode. A bespoke obstacle map with vertigo-inducing jumps and little room for error, you’ll need all your dexterity to survive the lengthy ascension to the top of this map!

Test your movement mastery across ten zones within this map, with only your sure footing to help you. Expect more info on this exciting new mode in the Mid-Season update.

Multiplayer Modes

Demolition (Launch)

Returning Mode

Out with the old, in with the boom. In this explosive returning mode, the attacking team must detonate both bomb sites while the defending team attempts to hold them off, with both sides respawning throughout the match. 

Each round begins with a two-and-a-half-minute timer and everyone on the attacking team is equipped with a bomb. Plant a bomb at either the A or B site to pause the timer and start the countdown to destruction, giving the defending team an opportunity to sweep in and defuse it. Extra time is added when one site is destroyed, though the attackers must detonate both to win the round.

If both teams reach a round tie, then it’s on to Overtime, where both sides fight to be the first to detonate a single site. Push hard and don’t hesitate.

Aim High (In-Season)

Returning Mode (Moshpit)

First introduced in Black Ops 6, Aim High returns, the perfect headshot trainer for sharpshooters of all skill levels. Compete in a variety of game modes where headshots instantly eliminate enemies, while shots against any other part of the body deal minimal damage. Outfit your Loadouts for precision and aim for the noggin.

Snipers Only (In-Season)

Returning Mode (Moshpit)

All warmed up from the Aim High playlist? Turn the challenge up a notch with Snipers Only, a pure sniping experience where Equipment, Secondary Weapons, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks are all restricted to keep the focus on the rifle in your hands. Take aim, breathe, and make your shots count.

Freerun (Mid-Season)

New Mode

Run and climb your way through Ascent, an original map for the new Freerun mode arriving in the Mid-Season that pits ten racers in a sprint to the finish line. Compete for additional rewards in the Mid-Season Freerun Event.

Heat Wave Havoc (Mid-Season)

New Mode

Bring the burn in the new Heat Wave Havoc LTM, challenging players to raise their Heat Level by supporting the team with non-lethal cooperative actions in a Moshpit of Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint.

There are five Heat Levels in all, with each level granting additional abilities that will transform your Operator into a blazing ball of fury. Generate heat through support actions like revealing enemies, scrambling enemy radars, buffing teammates and impairing enemies, capturing and defending objectives, and other non-lethal actions.

The Heat Levels and their corresponding Operator bonuses are as follows:

·        Low Heat: Faster Field Upgrade recharge.

·        Medium Heat: Faster movement, sprint-to-fire speed, and mid-air mobility.

·        Hot: Faster weapon reloads, ADS speed, and swap speed.

·        Extra Hot: Equipment refills after eliminating enemies.

·        Extra Extra Hot: Increased damage and score for headshots.

Freeze Tag (Mid-Season)

New Mode

Following the scorching Heat Wave Havoc, take some time to chill in the new Freeze Tag LTM. When dealt lethal damage, Operators will now become frozen instead of being eliminated. Freezing rival players will earn score for your team. Fellow teammates can save their incapacitated allies by reaching and defending their frozen forms, helping to unthaw them in time to rejoin the fight. The first team to reach the score limit wins.

Additional Loadout Content

Area denied. Activate the all-new Ion Core Scorestreak to create a sphere of heat distortion that damages any enemies reckless enough to enter.

New Scorestreak

Scorestreak: Ion Core (In-Season)

Weekly Challenge Reward

Score: 1175

Mastery Badges: Yes

A powerful radioactive device that damages enemies in a large area. Radiation pulses pass through walls, expanding from a small to large radius before dissipating and recharging.

Punish the enemy team by deploying this area denial device that pulses damaging radiation for several seconds before resetting for the next pulse. The Ion Core spreads over a mid-sized radius, even damaging enemies through walls, making it great for protecting objectives and choke points.

Overclock Abilities

Plutonium Core: A longer duration grants an additional radiation pulse.

Chemical Catalyst: Shorter downtime between radiation pulses.
