Yakei - 6v6/2v2

High above the neon-soaked streets, the rooftops of a dense Japanese city become the stage for betrayal. Lights pulse through the skyline as Alden Dorne closes in on David Mason. Navigate a labyrinth of ducts, vents, and industrial structures under an eerie night glow, where vertical combat and relentless pursuit turn every ledge into a fight for survival.

Use your Wall Jump to leap over gaps with sheer drops below and flank enemies through the Maintenance passage and around Electric equipment. Yakei fits plentiful tactical opportunities across its three-lane layout; make the most of them and rule the rooftops for the win.

Meltdown - 6v6

A fan-favorite from Black Ops 2, Meltdown returns in remastered form for the very first time with modern visuals, dynamic lighting, and molten-hot action. This mid-sized industrial map features a nearly symmetrical layout in a classic three-lane design as Operators traverse the nuclear power plant’s administrative buildings, cooling tower, and around the turbine down by the water.

There’s room for every playstyle to shine here, with multiple power positions looking down over the action and iconic flank routes like the central underpass giving close-ranged Loadouts the means to close the distance.

Fringe - 6v6

At the Mid-Season update arriving in the new year, players will return to Fringe, first introduced in Black Ops 3 and subsequently reimagined for Black Ops 6 in Season 04. Visit the grand opening of the Rolling Hills distillery, an idyllic locale surrounded by open roads, barns, and rustic structures that offer multiple routes for engagement, now with additional traversal options via Wall Jump. Clash along the main Road or push into the Bar for close-quarters combat. Keep an eye out for sharpshooters perched in the upper Barn and along the Bridge — and brace yourself when fighting through the tight confines of the Loading route.

Vault Town - 6v6

Drop into the suburbs of the future in this Nuketown map variant bringing the retro-apocalyptic setting of Fallout to the iconic cul-de-sac. Sponsored by the Vault-Tec Corporation, Vault Town features special air purifiers removing all the dangerous particles one would normally breathe throughout the Wasteland, allowing residents to enjoy the fruits of classic suburban living.

Flank enemies around the Nuka-Cola bus, explore the latest in Wasteland suburban design in the Blue and Orange House, and gawk at the massive power armor stored under glass in the Blue Garage. Fans of Fallout should consider loading up this newly themed variant in a Private Match to better explore all the Easter eggs on the map.

Takeover

Take what’s yours in this highly playable, dynamic objective mode. Two teams of six fight over three neutral territories, earning a point for each zone they control. Highest score at the end wins the game. When all three of the zones are captured, there’s a slight cooldown before all three territories move to a new set of locations within the map.

Focus your tactics on capturing a neutral zone with your squad, as the capture time shortens with multiple Operators in the territory. You can even slow down your opponents’ capture time by defending a zone, even if you’re outgunned, leading to some impressive tactical plays across a match.

S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Mayhem

Brave the Wasteland as its irradiated atmosphere descends on Multiplayer, blanketing each map in toxic particles as players engage in a 6v6 moshpit of Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint featuring S.P.E.C.I.A.L. buffs providing vital power ups. Keep your radiation levels in check to avoid adverse reactions. Thankfully, the HUD features a handy Geiger counter displaying your level of exposure at all times.

Acquire a variety of power-ups to improve your chances of survival in the harsh Wasteland. These power-ups are dropped by eliminated Operators where they fall, including:

• Pumpkin Pie: Increased health. Even irradiated Operators need to eat now and then.
• Nuka-Cola Cranberry: Score multiplier. Quench your thirst with the Wasteland’s most popular soft drink.
• Jet: Increased overall speed. Highly addictive.
• Psycho: Improved hip fire accuracy and headshot damage. Users susceptible to bouts of intense rage.
• RadAway: Cut down your current radiation level. An essential item for curbing the effects of the Wasteland’s irradiated air. Rad levels also drop after eliminating enemies and are further mitigated when engaged with the objective.
• Luck Bobblehead: Increases the odds of finding better power-ups and RadAway from fallen enemies. Secure one early for a big advantage. NOTE: All players wearing a Fallout-themed Operator Skin, including the two free Operator Skin rewards from the Fallout Event Pass, will start the match with this buff active automatically.

The Ghouls

Irradiated horrors swarm the surface as Vault Dwellers fight to survive a feral Ghoul outbreak in this 24-player Wasteland twist on Infected, where Vault Dwellers must scavenge for Perks and RadAway in an irradiated environment. Eliminated Vault Dwellers return as relentless Ghouls. Infect everyone or outlast the clock to win.

Vault Dwellers

Deploy with a full Loadout of items and three Scorestreaks—LDBR, H.A.R.P., and War Machine—to help face off against the horde. Vault Dwellers become exposed to higher levels of radiation poisoning throughout the match. Reduce your levels by grabbing packs of RadAway dropped by eliminated Ghouls along with other power-ups like Max Ammo, Full Power, and Insta-Kill.

Vault Dwellers who chain enough Player Ghoul eliminations in a row will gain additional enhancements, including increased movement and sprint to fire speed on the first kill, improved hip-fire accuracy on the second, increased ADS and weapon swap speed on the third, increased reload speed on the fourth, and double points and headshot damage after the fifth kill. Please note: All players wearing a Fallout-themed Operator Skin, including the two free Operator Skin rewards from the Fallout Event Pass, will start the match with an active buff automatically.

Glowing Ghouls

Once the Infection timer begins, one randomly chosen Vault Dweller will become the first Ghoul, a toxic variant of the enemy glowing green with radiation, benefiting from increased health and the ability to instant kill enemies until they are no longer the only Ghoul in the match. On death, the Glowing Ghoul explodes, increasing the radiation levels of Vault Dwellers caught in the blast radius. Every time a player spawns as a Ghoul, there’s a random chance that they will spawn in as a Glowing Ghoul instead of a Standard Ghoul.

Standard Ghouls

Ghouls attack with their hands and are also equipped with Ninja and Tracker Perks with the Recon Combat Specialty. Ghouls who chain enough Vault Dweller eliminations can activate the powerful Deathclaw Scorestreak, transforming them into an even bigger threat.

Tactical

Shock Charge: A deployable electrical trap that sticks to surfaces and releases a pulse that stuns and damages enemies.

Lethal

Impact Grenade: A precision grenade that detonates instantly upon impact for quick, controlled eliminations.

Thermo Grenade: Deploys a volatile fuel-air mix that ignites after a brief delay, engulfing targets in a powerful blast.

Field Upgrades

Tactical Insertion: Marks a chosen spot as your next respawn location, ideal for maintaining pressure or rejoining the fight fast.

Scorestreaks

Archangel Launcher: A shoulder-fired launcher that deploys remote-piloted rockets, allowing precise strikes from afar. Fires two per magazine.

Combat Bow: A lightweight bow armed with explosive arrows that detonate on impact, leaving behind fiery zones of denial.

Death Machine: A heavy minigun with extreme fire rate, deep ammo reserves, and devastating penetration power.

Dreadnought: A heavily armed gunship outfitted with multiple cannons, rocket pods, and a Daisy Cutter payload for wide-area destruction.

Grim Reaper: A semi-automatic rocket launcher that fires up to four rockets per cassette-style clip, with rapid reload capability for sustained fire.

SAM Turret: Deploys an automated missile system that locks onto and destroys enemy aerial Scorestreaks.

Strategic Bomber: A stealth aircraft that unleashes a massive carpet bombing run over a designated target zone.

War Machine: A burst-fire grenade launcher that fires impact-detonated rounds from an oversized magazine for high-volume explosive firepower.

New World Event: Wraith Wing

Grab your Launcher and a chunky LMG when this new World Event triggers, marking the arrival of the Wraith Wing, an advanced VTOL model produced by The Guild featuring cloning capabilities to bring deadly reinforcements into the fight. Come prepared for an aerial battle and work with your fellow JSOC Operators to disable the exposed aircraft and reap the rewards for your efforts.

New Limited Time World Event: Deathclaw Hunt

In this Limited Time World Event, a bomb blast reduces a portion of Avalon into a Fallout-inspired wasteland. Head inside the blast zone, if you dare, to brave the toxic air and take on ferocious Deathclaws defended by hordes of Feral Ghouls.

New Skill Track

Don’t pass up this new Skill Track being added in the Mid-Season update, transforming your Operator into an indisputable asset in the field, combining high-damage attacks and evasive maneuvers into a deadly stealth package.

Skill Track: Phantom

Strike unseen and vanish fast, slip past danger, and land critical blows from the shadows.

Ambush: Hits from behind deal more damage. If the enemy is at full health, critical shots deal double damage.

Fast Melee: Faster melee speed.

Trap Avoidance: Traps and Mines take longer to detect you. Undetectable when fully upgraded.

Silent Movement: Quiets movement and reduces enemy detection distance. Faster loading when interacting with devices.

Elusive Target: Reduces accuracy of enemies shooting at you.

Decoy: Taking significant damage deploys as Echo Unit that distracts enemies.

Astra Malorum: Directed Mode

Following the crew’s harrowing adventure through Ashes of the Damned, their quest leads them to a cryptic observatory located along the rings of Saturn. They must seek out a second Shadowsmith—an ancient denizen of the Dark Aether bound to the Warden’s will—while facing new dangers within the cosmic void.

To help you on your adventures in Astra Malorum, the Mid-Season update brings Directed Mode to the map, offering extra guidance and a max round cap of 15 when taking on the Main Quest.

Encounter the new O.S.C.A.R. enemy, a sentinel robot who stalks the halls of the observatory and attacks on sight. Fight back with the new LGM-1 Wonder Weapon, firing saucer squadrons that surround and attack targeted enemies before returning to the weapon. And when things really get out of control, drop some Essence to activate a trap, either the Stellar Dissector which fires lasers at nearby enemies, or the Apogee Annihilator which bombs the horde with rocket fire.

Players who complete Astra Malorum on Directed Mode will earn the “Cosmic Repair” Operator Skin for Grey and 5,000 XP.

Survival Map: Zarya Cosmodrome

Trapped in a strange land, a Soviet launch site is overrun by the forces of darkness. Will you fall to the horde, or obtain glory in victory? It’s all up to you.

Fight tooth and nail until you Exfil or go down in this Survival map based on an isolated location from Ashes of the Damned. The more rounds you survive, the more rewards you can earn:

• Cymballistic Animated Emblem and 1,000 XP (reach Round 10)
• Zursa Minor Charm and 2,500 XP (reach Round 25)
• Wonderbar! Ultra GobbleGum and 5,000 XP (reach Round 50)

New Limited Time Mode: Project RADS

Feral Ghouls and Deathclaws invade Ashes of the Damned and Astra Malorum in this Fallout-themed LTM exposing the crew to increased levels of radiation with each passing round.

In this mode, the usual means of healing and earning Essence are replaced with a system of drops given by fallen enemies that assist the crew in staying fit, keeping rad levels at bay, and gaining vital resources. Loot drops in this mode include:

Food Items: Hold your nose and take a bite out of some food to replenish health. But beware, some snacks are irradiated! Eating them will increase your radiation level.

Bottle Caps: Instead of earning Essence for eliminating enemies, players collect dropped Bottle Caps to gain resources to purchase map items.

RadX: Take a swig of this to reduce your current radiation level.

RadAway: Remove all radiation from all players. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Crew members will experience adverse effects if they don’t properly manage their radiation levels. Check your Geiger counter to track your current exposure. At low exposure, there are no negative effects, while increasing levels will first reduce your movement speed and then your weapon damage, followed by a freeze on your Field Upgrade charge and a slow and steady health drain. Let it get really bad and say goodbye to your Perks.

Furthermore, reports have been trickling in regarding an Irradiated Deathclaw, though they’re likely the idle rumors of frightened Vault Dwellers. Reach higher rounds and more on both maps to earn rewards and an XP payout. Happy hunting.

High Octane

Quads, 150 Players, Verdansk

Experience a nonstop action adventure in the thrilling High Octane mode arriving in the Mid-Season. All players deploy into the map with their chosen custom Loadout, so you’re ready to engage the enemy will a full kit of gear right from the start.

Scavenge juiced up loot across Verdansk including Gas Masks, Grappling Hooks, and Legendary Weapons. Cash payouts have been greatly increased as well, pairing perfectly with the ability to call up and purchase from the Buy Station interface at any time in the match. Don’t spend it all in one place, as you’ll need some money on hand to activate the automatic self-buyback should you go down.

To keep the pace up, expect greatly accelerated circle timings for a faster match experience. There’s no room for hesitation in High Octane, so get out there, push the fight, and take the win.

Power Armor Royale

Trios, 66 Players, Players and Enemy Combatants, Verdansk

Engage in merciless combat in Power Armor Royale, deploying Trios into an irradiated Verdansk where Power Armor drops from the sky, greatly increasing the combat strength of the Operator best prepared to take it for themselves.

Ready Your Fusion Core, Get Power Armor

Ready to dominate your foes with the help of some Power Armor? Hold on there, Vault Dweller, you’re gonna have to charge up that Fusion Core first.

Every Operator deploys with a Fusion Core, but it’ll take some work to power it up enough to step into the suit. Operators can fill their Fusion Core by looting Fusion Core canisters, earned by completing Contracts, eliminating enemies, opening Supply Boxes, and dealing damage to enemy Power Armor users.

Operators with filled Fusion Cores can access the Power Armor drops deployed at different times throughout the match, immediately granting the user a huge health boost, jetpack thrusters, upgraded weaponry, and the ability to eject and detonate the suit when it’s time to get out.

Radiation Zones

Radiation scours the Wasteland and it’s no different in this LTM as several radiation zones appear across Verdansk, their locations changing with each match. Operators not wearing Power Armor will take damage in these zones, gradually reducing their health. Seek out some RadAway to decrease your radiation levels and get back in the fight.

Season 01 Reloaded brings another path to rewards with the introduction of Win Streaks. Players who reach a certain number of uninterrupted wins in Call of Duty: Warzone will earn new Weapon Camos showcasing their lethality in the field.

Hawker HX

Sniper Rifle, Event Reward

• Levels: 38
• MAGS: 4
• MAG SIZE: 7
• Mastery Badges: Yes
• Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
• Customize Options: Skins, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (CM, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3)

Bolt-action Sniper Rifle. Fast handling and mobility. Higher recoil and flinch. Hold breath while ADS to steady.

Black Ops 2 veterans may recognize this powerful Sniper Rifle, a bolt-action weapon that deals heavy damage with a high one-shot hit potential against unarmed enemies. When compared to the VS Recon (another bolt action rifle), the Hawker HX has a higher recoil and flinch and is generally less stable. It also takes a little longer time to rechamber between shots. But the handling and mobility are excellent, and this could be the go-to weapon for players that want to ADS and get shots off quickly.

Prestige Attachment

Barrel >  MFS 25" Votive Barrel

Drastically improves tactical stance spread with a significant improvement to standard hip fire spread. Additionally, improvements to handling, mobility, sprint to fire, and sprint spread for extreme lethality in the right conditions.

SMG, Event Reward

• Levels: 38
• MAGS: 4
• MAG SIZE: 32
• Mastery Badges: Yes
• Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods
• Customize Options: Skins, Camos and Reticle Unlocks (CM, MP, ZM, WZ), Accessories (1), Decals (1), Stickers (3)

Full-auto submachine gun. Very low recoil and good headshot damage. Lower handling, mobility, and range.

The Sturmwolf 45 is a highly accurate SMG and extremely easy to use, making it an excellent choice for those needing precise hits on enemies, including headshots. Though it has slightly limited handling and mobility, and a shorter overall range compared to other SMGs, expect a recognizable, classic feel to this weapon, with a recoil pattern you may well remember!

Prestige Attachment

Magazine > MFS Tigris .40 Cal Mag

Converts the Sturmwolf 45 into .40 Cal with improved stopping power through higher damage and damage range at the expense of recoil control. Improves handling but reduces ammo capacity and slows both fire rate and bullet velocity.

Coda 9 Adaptive Discharge Mod

Coda 9 Pistol, Weekly Challenge Reward

Attachment > Stock > Hybrid Dual Stock

Provides a faster fire rate with improved spread when fired off the hip and a slower fire rate with higher damage and range in ADS. Improves recoil control, but harms handling and mobility.

M8A1 Autostrike-X8 Conversion

M8A1 Marksman Rifle, Weekly Challenge Reward

Attachment > Barrel > Conversion Kit

Convert the M8A1 into a fully automatic weapon with a fast fire rate and controllable recoil. Improves headshot damage and handling but harms ranged firepower, aiming movement speed, and spread.

MPC-25 ContraBloom Laser

MPC-25 SMG, Weekly Challenge Reward

Attachment > Laser > No-Spread Laser

Removes virtually all hip spread and resists firing bloom. Improves non-ADS mobility with a significant damage range penalty. Provides Crossbar ADS with increased aiming idle sway. Blocks Underbarrel Attachments and Optics.
