RoboCop will finally bring law and order into Call of Duty in Black Ops 7’s latest update

The ongoing narrative in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 continues with a new midseason update, but let’s be real, you’re here for RoboCop.

The titular character from the classic 80s action movie has felt destined for a CoD cameo for quite some time, and it’s finally happening in Season Three Reloaded of BO7. The new update also adds new weapons to use, new maps in multiplayer, and more, so get ready to obey the law.

Here’s everything coming to BO7 multiplayer in Season Three Reloaded.

Black Ops 7 Season 3 Reloaded patch notes

RoboCop collab and event pass

In a collaboration that feels long overdue, RoboCop is joining Black Ops 7 and Warzone as a new operator alongside a new event pass with a bunch of free and premium rewards to earn. Operator skins, cosmetics, weapon blueprints, and more can be earned by simply playing and gaining XP across a variety of modes.

2 new weapons

The Siren special weapon and Katana melee weapon will be available free-to-earn as part of events.

Utilizing some fun future tech, the Siren “fires a slow-moving projectile, its velocity increasing as you charge the weapon before letting loose on your target.” The Katana, meanwhile, is exactly what you’d expect: a big-ass sword to slice people with.

Weapon buffs and nerfs

Check back here closer to the update’s launch on April 30 for more info on what’s changing as far as guns are concerned.

3 multiplayer maps

One new map (Onsen) along with two classic remakes (Summit from Black Ops 1 and Hacienda from Black Ops 4) will add the rotation of locations where players can pub-stomp or sweat to their heart’s desires in.

New game modes

Some fun new modes join the fray in S3R, including Freerun, which is all about BO7’s parkour abilities. It’s a time attack course on the map Ascent, a Guild Tower construct that’s been designed specifically for the mode. “When the race begins, follow the track to progress through an increasingly demanding 10 zones, testing your abilities across a variety of challenges,” Activision said.

Heat Wave Havoc is a limited-time mode on Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint, where players “progress through five different Heat Levels, each level granting additional abilities improving combat efficiency.”

Finally, Freeze Tag is a new six-vs-six mode where you must freeze enemies while keeping allies thawed out. “Eliminated Operators drop into a frozen state, where they are unable to complete any actions until a teammate shatters them free by shooting or otherwise damaging their downed teammate,” Activision said.

Terry Crews Replacer skin

The long-rumored Terry Crews Replacer skin will also be available in the CoD store in Season 3 Reloaded, including a number of items and cosmetics in the bundle.

Endgame updates

Endgame will remain free-to-play for a limited time, including the new Mega Abomination activity, new Thermal Spike major ability, and Act 2: Broken Mirror, where players will “return to Avalon to gather Diagnostic Data through targeted operations that disrupt Guild assets and expose the mirror network’s inner workings.”

“These missions escalate toward the discovery of a Glitch Fracture, allowing players to breach the network’s corrupted core,” Activision explained. “By exploiting that breach, JSOC gains a delivery path for Karma’s virus, putting Javelin in position to deploy it from within and collapse the mirror network entirely.”

This operation’s rewards include a new blueprint, emblem, XP token, Restore Token, loading screen, and more.

There’s a host of different stats in Vampire Crawlers that will define your chances of completing a specific stage. If you’ve played Vampire Survivors, you’ll be well familiar with most of these stats. If not, then you can refer to the following section to understand what each attribute means.

Vampire Crawlers stats explained

The table below briefly explains what every stat means so that you can always stay on top of your deck’s strength and prowess.

Stat	What it Does
Max Health	It raises your Max Health by 10% per rank. You’ll still need to heal and restore your health after increasing the cap.
Recovery	Heals 1 HP per rank after each encounter. Extremely useful to passively restore your lost HP after every completed battle.
Hand	Determines the number of cards you’ll pull when a fresh turn begins.
Mana	Raises the max mana available for you to use.
Armor	Nullify all incoming attacks. You gain +1 Armor per rank, and also increase it by playing Armor cards.
Might	Raise the base damage of all weapons by 10% per level.
Area	Dish out AoE damage from your attacks, which increases by 10% per rank.
Amount	Adds extra projectiles for your weapon cards.
Duration	Allows you to increase the duration of your Crawler’s stay by one per rank.
Magnet	You can draw extra cards per turn.
Revival	Get extra lives.
Luck	Raises all positive stats, along with increasing the quality of your drops. It increases by 20% per rank.
Growth	You can get extra XP.
Greed	You’ll get 10% extra Gold Coins per rank.
Reroll	You can reroll your draw to try and get other options. You get +2 reroll choices per rank.
Skip	You can skip level-up rewards to get extra XP and Gold.
Banish	You can banish cards that you want to avoid from showing up on your run.
Curse	A negative stat that will amplify the damage of your enemy’s attacks. However, you’ll get more XP and Gold.

Typically, the Power Ups you use will have a direct impact on the stat values of your current run. When you upgrade a Power Up, it will permanently raise the applicable stat for your character (the buffs will be available across all runs). However, your attributes will also depend on the cards you draw and the crawler(s) you use.
