Call of Duty is reloading again with Season 2 Reloaded, bringing new content to Black Ops 7’s multiplayer and Endgame modes, along with Warzone’s big Black Ops Royale addition.

BO7 Season 2 Reloaded patch notes

5 new maps

Several maps will join the MP rotation, including new ones and reimagined classics:

• Torque (new map)
• Cliff Town (Black Ops 2 Yemen remake)
• Mission: Peak (new 20 vs. 20 map)
• Grind (Black Ops 2)
• Firing Range (Black Ops 1)

New game modes

Gauntlet is a mode that’s comprised of several others and will test your mettle in back-to-back battles. In six-vs-six, players will battle in 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 fan-favorite Infected mode also returns with the new update.

2 new guns

The Voyak KT-3 assault rifle andSwordfish A1 marksman rifle are both joining as free additions to players’ arsenals, and both will be unlockable for free as event rewards. Additional loadout content includes new attachments through weekly challenges and other rewards for LTMs.

New Endgame content

New PvE Endgame content includes Glitch Fractures, which are “gh-intensity hotspots created in the aftermath of each Strike challenge even the most hardened Operators with areas that are more difficult than current Tier IV zones.”

A new Skill Track, called Nightmare Skills, will be unlockable and upgradeable by completing these Glitches, and several new Skills are available this way.

• 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.
