BO7 Season 2 Reloaded patch notes – 5 maps, new game modes, new weapons, more Endgame, and more

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.

Five new maps, two new guns, and limited time events highlight what’s coming to BO7 before season two comes to an end. Here’s what we know so far about what’s arriving in BO7’s Season Two Reloaded when it drops on March 12.

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.

SG-12 nerf

“The SG12 has been performing very well in part due to its fast fire rate and high damage potential at mid-range,” Treyarch said of the new shotgun. “We’ve kept the close-range damage high, but reduced the damage ranges across the board.”

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.

The new Paradox Junction map in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 has several easter eggs to crack, and you can unlock a new song by finding three Mister Peeks headphones from different locations.

Just like the two other maps, the three headphones are hidden from plain sight. You’ll also need to travel to the past to find a couple of them. Let’s quickly look at the locations of all three headphones so that you can unlock the bonus song for the new map.

How to find all Mister Peeks headphones in Black Ops 7 Zombies Paradox Junction

The first task is to survive for seven rounds, as you’ll need to travel through the past. Two of the three locations will be locked until you’ve returned to the normal version of Nuketown. To do so, surviving for the first seven rounds is non-negotiable.

To find the headphones, you’ll also need to interact with the truck with the key. This will remove the truck (everything happens in the past version of the map) and allow you to unlock the Pack-A-Punch machine on the Paradox Junction map.

Headphone 1

The first headphone can be found in the normal version of the Yellow House. It’s located on a nightstand in the bedroom. If you enter from the window, the nightstand is just around the right corner from the bedroom door. If you enter through the door using the stairs, the nightstand is just around the corner to your left.

It’s easy to miss the headphone (refer to the image above) as the area is really dark.

Headphone 2

The second headphone can also be found on the normal version of the Nuketown map. Head to the area where the perk machine is located on Trinity Avenue. Look at the left corner, and you’ll find the headphone visible through a gap in the nearby white fence.

Headphone 3

For the final one, return to the destroyed version of Nuketown. You’ll need to spend 3,000 Essence. Once you’ve returned, go past the truck that was earlier blocking your path to Trinity Avenue (the one that you moved with the key).

You’ll find another destroyed truck beside it. Go to the back, and peek at its left corner (refer to the image above). This will complete the musical easter egg that’s exclusive to the Paradox Junction map, and it will play the Come Back Down song by Kevin Sherwood and Megan Rice.
