Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 & Warzone — Season 05 Reloaded Unveiled

Launch Date: Season 05 Reloaded goes live Thursday, September 4, 2025 at 9 AM PT, across all platforms.

Black Ops 6 Highlights

Multiplayer

• New Map – “Jackpot”
  Set inside the luxurious Casino Luttazzi in Avalon, this mid-size 6v6 arena draws inspiration from the “High Rollers” campaign mission and the original Black Ops 4 casino map. Players battle across a richly detailed environment—bar, stage, terrace, and gazebo—where every engagement feels like a high-stakes gamble.

• Modes Back in Action

  • Cranked Demolition (New LTM): Dynamic bomb-planting gameplay where players gain speed buffs and extend a ticking timer by getting kills. The faster you eliminate opponents and complete objectives, the longer your timer lasts.

  • Returning favorites: Ransack, where teams loot gold and bank it, and Blueprint Gunfight, a best-of-seven duels format using curated weapon setups.

• New Scorestreak – Combat Bow
  Fire explosive-tipped arrows that create fire zones on impact. It’s a compact lethal tool, ideal for area denial and crowd control.

Zombies Mode

• Directed Mode – “Reckoning”
  This guided experience kicks off with a structured main quest, set amidst the collapsing Janus Towers. Players receive guidance to navigate up to 15 rounds while pursuing the mission storyline.

• Team Cranked (LTM)
  A fast-paced co-op mode where the entire squad shares a countdown timer that resets with each zombie kill. Players enjoy speed enhancements, increased Essence gains, and gear like the Time Stopper trap and rare Time Extension power-ups to stay in the fight longer.

• New Rewards

  • Completing the Main Quest past Round 30 grants a GobbleGum pack and 15,000 XP.

  • Two fresh leaderboard challenges, “No Cranked, No Glory” and “Undead Ascension,” offer competitive opportunities.

Warzone Enhancements

• Deadline (New LTM)
  A high-pressure Quad mode in Verdansk where players face both enemy squads and AI “Hostile Soldiers.” Each gas circle wipes the lowest-scoring teams—points reset after every collapse. Unlimited respawns keep the action nonstop, demanding constant performance in eliminations, looting, contracts, and cash spending.

• Verdansk Stadium Accessibility
  With the Stadium roof removed following a mid-season breach, the inside is now open to all players in every mode.

• Competitive Esports Events

  • C.O.D.E. Bowl VI on September 30 pits military-affiliated teams against top-tier players.

  • World Series of Warzone Global Final on October 1 activates the high-stakes finale, crowning a champion with a $1 million prize.

Universal Updates Across All Modes

• New Weapon – Gravemark .357 Revolver
  A high-powered, single-action sidearm offering formidable range and stopping power, introduced via the Operation: Hell Ride event.

• Special Attachment – PPSh‑41 Helical Magazine
  This SMG attachment bursts with ammo capacity but requires heat management. It enhances range, handling, hip fire spread, and synergy with Scavenger perks and Assault Pack.

• Season Events and Rewards

  • Nuketown Block Party Event: Celebrates the iconic Nuketown map with themed rewards like the Combat Bow, PPSh‑41 attachment, emotes, calling cards, and themed operator skins. Completing the free track nets you the “Armed and Dangerous” Pickaxe; premium track offers additional cosmetic goodies.
