Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone Season 05

Everything you need to know about Season 05 in Black Ops 7 and Warzone

Season 03 Roadmap

 

Call of Duty®: Black Ops 7

NEW MULTIPLAYER MAPS

Jubilee - 6v6 (Launch)

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 - 6v6 (Launch)

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 - 6v6 (Launch)

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 - 6v6/2v2 (Mid-Season)

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)

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.

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.

General Content

NEW WEAPONS

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)

SMG, Battle Pass Page 6 HVT, Page 12 HVT Tier Battle Pass Blueprint

  • Levels: 47
  • MAGS: 4
  • MAG SIZE: 26
  • 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.”

LMG, Event Reward

  • Levels: 39
  • MAGS: 3

  • 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

The Universal Weapon Prestige Camos for the Mammoth (above): Prestige 1: “Sky Rats.” Prestige 2: “Database.” Prestige Max: “Spent.”

 

Melee Weapon: Mace (In-Season)

Melee weapon. High damage, long range, and slow attack speed.
