Black Ops 6 Season 1 kicks off next week with new multiplayer maps, new modes, Zombies Directed Mode and some big changes to Warzone

It may not seem like it, but we are closer to the start of the first season. Black Opera 6 than we do for the launch of the game. As we’ve come to expect from every new season, it’s also full of new content for all players to enjoy.

Season 1 will also see Black Ops 6 content and mechanics integrated into Warzone. It starts on Thursday, November 14th.

Multiplayer

Starting with multiplayer, Season 1 looks set to feature some interesting additions that go beyond just more content. We are of course, getting new content in the form of three new cards at the beginning of the season.

Hideout is a medium-sized 6v6 map set in a training ground. It’s joined by Extraction, another medium-sized map centered around a helipad and set in Avalon. We’re also getting one Strike map, dubbed Heirloom, available for 2v2 and 6v6 games. A new Strike map called Racket will join the game mid-season, along with a remake of Hacienda from past Black Ops games.

Season 1 will also introduce a new Job mode to the game at launch and the return of Prop Hunt as the first party mode with a mid-season update. Treyarch is also adding a new perk (Shadow, Slot 2, Strategist), as well as a new score streak (Hand Cannon, 900 points) at launch, with another perk (Shrapnel Radar, Slot 3, Recon) and a wildcard (High Roller). ) to join mid-season.

The Battle Pass also contains two new weapons: the Krieg C assault rifle and the Saug submachine gun. Elsewhere in the season, you can expect the Maelstrom Shotgun, AMR Mod 4 Sniper Rifle, and an additional AMR Mod 4 as event rewards.

Those who love to compete in Call of Duty will be happy to know that ranked play is launching early this year and will be online shortly after the launch of the new season.

In addition to integrating Black Ops 6’s Omnimovement into all of Warzone and allowing players to use their BO6 weapons in battle royale mode, Season 1 will also feature a brand new rebirth map: Area 99.

For the standard BR, Urzikstan will also be available at launch, with Revival Island joining the list shortly after. In terms of playlists, you can look forward to Resurgence, standard BR, and Plunder. Ranked BR mode will appear towards the end of the season along with some limited-time modes.

Zombie

The first season of Zombies is very interesting for a number of reasons. First, promised directional mode debuts with the launch of the season, offering a more manageable way to wrap up major narrative Easter eggs on both Liberty Fals and Terminus.

However, if you decide to wait until then, you’ll miss out on some unique rewards for collecting Easter eggs the hard way. Our Guide to Easter Eggs in Liberty FallsAnd A Guide to Terminus Easter Eggs will help you do this before the rewards are gone forever.

With the mid-season update, a brand new map called Citadelle des Morts will join the roster. That’s not all, however, as Zombie players will also be able to use new gear such as an additional Perk-A-Cola, a new field upgrade, a new ammo mod, 18 new upgrades, three new GobbleGums, a new wonder weapon and a new enemy type in the Citadel of Death.

Given that the mid-season update will arrive in early December, you can also expect limited-time modes and a festive Nuketown. In the meantime, you can look forward to the launch of Season 1 on 9am PT, 12pm ET, 5pm UK.
