Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 2 Reloaded Patch Notes

Activision

On March 11, Activision released the Season 2 Reloaded update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone, which includes new content in the multiplayer, zombie, and battle royale modes.

The update adds a Blackout-inspired mode to Warzone called Black Ops Royale. Inspired on Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's battle royale mode, it removes elements like as loadouts, Gulag, and Buy Stations in favor of traditional looting and survival gameplay.

Black Ops 7's multiplayer includes two new maps—Torque and Mission: Peak—as well as returning fan favorites Cliff Town, Grind, and Firing Range.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 2 Reloaded Patch Notes

NEW AND RETURNING MAPS

• Torque (6v6, 2v2)

  Launch into a breakneck pursuit across this map reminiscent of The Battle of Los Angeles from Black Ops 2.

  
  

• Cliff Town (6v6)

  Drop into a dense urban Multiplayer experience, originally introduced in Black Ops 2 as “Yemen” and now re-envisioned as a cliffside town in Avalon that preserves the spirit of the original design.

  
  

• Mission: Peak (20v20)

  Prepare for an all-new 20v20 Skirmish experience expanding Multiplayer with another large map clash. Battle to secure High Value Sectors scattered through winding medieval streets, all connected by a central, curving roadway, while keeping an eye out for snipers perched atop terracotta rooftops.

  
  

• Grind (6v6)

  Originally introduced in Black Ops 2, the iconic skatepark makes its comeback in the Mid-Season update.

• Firing Range (6v6)

  The fan-favorite Firing Range makes its return in its Black Ops 6 iteration, joining the Black Ops 7 map rotation with Wall Jumps introduced to the layout for the first time.

NEW WEAPONS

Voyak KT-3 (Assault Rifle, Event Reward)

• Full-auto assault rifle. High damage and excellent handling, with slower fire rate and moderate to high recoil.

• The Voyak KT-3 downs unarmored enemies in four to five shots, exhibiting an upward kick through sustained fire. Unique to the weapon is a digital readout displaying the distance in meters of the current target in your crosshairs

Swordfish A1 (Marksman Rifle, Event Reward)

• 4-round burst marksman rifle. Fast cyclic fire rate and minimal recoil, but slower mobility and handling.

• Line up your shot and let loose with a quad burst attack using the Swordfish A1 Marksman Rifle, a weapon offering unrivaled accuracy in its class. Inflict high damage by landing all four rounds, with a possible fifth shot added to each burst after unlocking the weapon’s Penta Burst Prestige Attachment.

NEW WEAPON ATTACHMENTS

Echo 12 Backlash Launcher Kit (Event Reward)

• Conversion kit fires fast-moving explosive projectiles that can bounce off surfaces. Explosive damage is increased if detonation occurs after bouncing.

MXR-17 ANVL Conversion (Weekly Challenge Reward)

• MXR-17 conversion provides a very fast starting fire rate with high recoil that tapers off the longer it’s fired. Packed with extra ammo, lead with merciless firepower that morphs into an easy to control and hard-hitting weapon.

NEW AND RETURNING MULTIPLAYER MODES

Gauntlet (New)

• Show what you’re made of in the new Gauntlet mode, pitting two six-player teams against one another in a round of five different game modes played one after the other including Domination, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, Team Deathmatch, and Roulette, a high risk vs. reward mode where players fight over control of an Akimbo Hand Cannon. The devastating weapon inflicts massive damage for increased Score, at the risk of blowing up in your Operator’s hands, dropping the weapon for the next Operator to pick up.

Infected (Returning)

• Face off against the Infected horde or join them and eliminate the remaining survivors to win, now with Mutant Injection Power-Ups in the mix.. A single player is randomly chosen to start as the Infected following the match countdown. The infected player’s goal is to eliminate the remaining Survivors, adding to the ranks of the Infected with each fallen Operator.

NEW SCORESTREAK (MULTIPLAYER & ZOMBIES)

Lockshot (650 Score)

• A sleek smart pistol that locks onto multiple targets when ADS. A single trigger pull eliminates all locked targets in quick succession. Cannot be countered by Perks. Unlocks via Weekly Challenge.

Overclock Abilities

• Multi-Lock: Adds one round to the magazine, allowing you to lock onto one additional enemy.

• Quick-Lock: Reduces enemy lock-on time.

NEW ZOMBIES MAP: PARADOX JUNCTION

“Don’t worry. It ain’t your time…”

Caltheris may be free, but the crew’s fate is anything but certain. Dragged beneath the sands of Mars and stranded beyond time, they now operate under the Warden’s watchful eye.

The Main Quest for Paradox Junction becomes available when the map releases with Season 02 Reloaded on March 11. Complete the Main Quest to earn the following:

• A new Blundergat Wonder Weapon Skin, Calling Card, and 10,000 XP.

• Complete Paradox Junction 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.

NEW ZOMBIES ENEMY: RAD-HOUND

As vicious as they are explosive, when a pack of these irradiated dogs is summoned, expect a relentless attack!

Bulging with irradiated innards, these foul minions of The Warden can be quelled with quick thinking and rapid firing, but they leave behind a dangerous radioactive explosion on death.

NEW ZOMBIES WONDER WEAPON: BLUNDERGAT & SUNDERGAT

If you’ve previously mowed down mobs of the dead, you may be well-versed with the brutal, quadruple-barreled firepower available from this ornate and archaic omni-shotgun!

In its initial form, the Blundergat rips the undead apart with uncanny ease. In its entirely new upgraded “Sundergat” form, the Wonder Weapon’s projectiles become so potent, this otherworldly blunderbuss can blast the “souls” right out of enemies!

NEW ZOMBIES GOBBLEGUM: TURNCOAT

Take a bite out of the competition with a new Rare GobbleGum as you’re able to bring more than just your weapons into the fray; charm up to five zombie pals to fight on your behalf!

• Type: Instant

• Zombies Description: Nearby zombies are charmed.

• DOA 4 Description: Nearby zombies are temporarily turned to do your bidding.

NEW ENDGAME EXPERIENCE: GLITCH FRACTURE

As The Guild ramps up their attacks, a new feature arrives within the Nightmare Zones. Squads who track down and eliminate the Strike Boss within will now reveal the location of a Glitch Fracture, an off-map experience that pulls you and your squad into a section of corrupted C-Link data. Squad members who have not defeated the Strike Boss to reveal the location will be given the opportunity to join any squad member that initiates a vote to enter the Glitch Fracture.

NEW ENDGAME FEATURE: EXOTIC FABRICATOR

Need a leg up on the competition? Especially when facing the new Mid-Season Glitch Boss, you’ll want the most powerful weapons available. Now, for the first time, Operators have the chance to turn their favorite weapons into Exotic Weapons, pumping out high damage to help take down even the toughest enemies.

The Exotic Fabricator is rewarded for defeating a Strike Boss within a Nightmare Zone. Use the machine to upgrade any Loadout or Field Acquisition weapon to a full Exotic Weapon.

• The first upgrade will upgrade a weapon to Exotic Rarity and damage.

• The second upgrade will provide an additional Utility Bonus.

• The third upgrade will provide a random Exotic Effect.

If you have fully upgraded a weapon to Exotic or have a named Exotic Weapon, you may choose to re-roll either the Bonus Utility or the Exotic Effect. Through repeated visits, Operators can work toward perfecting their Exotic Weapon to contain the exact traits they’re looking for. Each Exotic Fabricator can only be used once, so plan accordingly.

NEW ENDGAME SKILL TRACK: NIGHTMARE SKILLS

When a Glitch Fracture is revealed after defeating the Strike Boss in a Nightmare Zone, this is your chance to fight for a new and powerful Nightmare Skill. Make it past the waves of enemies within the Glitch Fracture to take on the Glitch Boss to acquire one of the following Nightmare Skills:

Nova Strike: Melee Strikes have a chance to generate an electrical field that damages enemies.

• First Upgrade: When the electrical area is created, the struck enemy is also Shocked.

• Final Upgrade: The electrical area persists briefly and Shocks enemies who pass through it (with a cooldown).

Phoenix Burst: When at low health, trigger an explosion that damages enemies and fully restores health (with a cooldown).

• First Upgrade: After the explosion, gain full ammo and temporarily infinite ammo from the magazine.

• Final Upgrade: After the explosion, gain temporary immunity.

Hellwing: Wingsuiting over enemies drops an incendiary trail on them.

• First Upgrade: Increases how long the incendiary trail remains on the ground.

• Final Upgrade: Flashbangs normal and Special enemies within the incendiary area.

Chaos Rounds: Weapon attacks have a chance to trigger Photon, Incendiary, Frost, or Shock effects.

• First Upgrade: Can also trigger Graviton, Mortar, Shrapnel, and Neuro-Disruption effects.

• Final Upgrade: Enemies hit by Chaos Rounds have a chance to trigger a random Chaos Round on nearby enemies.

Frost Vortex: Bullets have a chance to create a Snowstorm that pulls in enemies.

• First Upgrade: Applies Frost to normal enemies in the Snowstorm.

• Final Upgrade: Also applies Frost to Special and Elite enemies in the Snowstorm.

Each Operator can equip and upgrade one Nightmare Skill. If your Operator already has a Nightmare Skill equipped, you can choose from the following actions:

• Upgrade the currently equipped Nightmare Skill.

• Replace the currently equipped Nightmare Skill.
