Season 05 Reloaded: Incoming Intel
Bring the Heat
The race to hunt down the last of the Pantheon moles is in full swing as the Rogue Black Ops team uses their renewed support by the CIA to access top-tier intel and weaponry. With Operators Troy Marshall, Frank Woods, and Russell Adler welcomed back into the halls at Langley, it’s only a matter of time before the job is finished.
The action never dies as the mid-season update arrives in Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone™, bringing a new Multiplayer map, new and returning modes, new armaments, events, Reckoning Directed Mode in Zombies, and more.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 05 Reloaded arrives on Thursday, September 4 at 9AM PT.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6: Season 05 Reloaded
MULTIPLAYER CONTENT SUMMARY
New Map: Compete to win it all in Jackpot, a new 6v6 map dropping Operators into the Casino Luttazzi. Fight in and around the ornate locale nestled in the hills of Avalon, battling on the main floor, backstage, and outside spanning vistas worth a million bucks.
New and Returning Modes: Keep slaying or risk an explosive death in the Cranked Demolition LTM! Call up your squad and get ready to re-deploy to Ransack and Blueprint Gunfight.
New Scorestreak: Set the enemy aflame with the new Combat Bow, a low-cost Scorestreak that detonates on impact leaving a pool of flames in its wake.
New Multiplayer Map
Jackpot
Inspired by Black Ops 4, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Step into the Casino Luttazzi, where luxury meets chaos. Inspired by the “High Rollers” Campaign mission from Black Ops 6 and the “Casino” Multiplayer map from Black Ops 4, Jackpot sets the stage for incredible action as Operators battle over the casino floor, the dazzling Stage, and the outer Terrace and Gazebo, dripping with opulence at every turn.
The stakes are sky-high, but the potential payoff is well worth the effort. Hold the central Bar for map control, trade shots between the Slots, or flank targets through the wings. Combining open combat, risky chokepoints, and multiple routes to victory, every match is a gamble, so double down, play the odds, and go all in for the win.
Multiplayer Modes
Turn up the heat with the explosive Cranked Demolition mode arriving alongside two returning favorites: Ransack and Blueprint Gunfight.
Cranked Demolition
New Mode
Turn up the explosive energy in this bomb-based mode as teams alternate between attacking and defending two bomb sites while managing a Cranked timer. Plant, defuse, or eliminate enemies to earn speed Perks and activate a bomb countdown on your Operator. Chain eliminations and play the objective to refresh the bomb timer and earn twice the score for your team.
You can only accrue up to a max of 30 seconds on your Cranked timer at a time, so stay active in the match to refresh it as often as possible. Just don’t let that timer distract you from the ticking match clock; planting and defusing bombs are still the main objective in play!
Ransack
Returning Mode
Put it all on the line in this returning mode where teams attempt to strike it rich by looting and stashing the noblest metal of them all. Score points by looting gold bars from designated piles around the map and off fallen enemies who drop their acquired gold when eliminated.
Each gold pile is activated for a limited time before moving to the next area marked on your HUD and minimap. Fill your pockets and safely return to your team’s deposit zone to score for each delivered bar; but remember that even deposited gold is up for the taking. If a player enters the opposing team’s drop site, they’ll secure gold bars directly from their stash while adding them to their own team’s score if they can get the delivery back to base in one piece.
Blueprint Gunfight
Returning Mode
Add some style to your Gunfight matches by taking on enemy duos using a variety of curated Weapon Blueprints. In each round, all four players are given the same pre-determined class. There are no respawns, so play smart, communicate with your teammate, and clutch up round after round on the way to six wins to cinch the match.
Additional Gameplay Content
Unleash chaos with the new low-cost Combat Bow Scorestreak. Last seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, this lightweight bow comes equipped with fiery arrows that ignite on impact and create a patch of flames.
New Scorestreak (MP, ZM)
Scorestreak: Combat Bow
Type: Lethal
Score: 500
Mastery Badges: Yes
Heat up the competition with the Combat Bow, providing five explosive-tipped arrows that fire fast and leave a patch of flame at the impact site. Shoot from the hip or down the sight, eliminating enemies with a direct hit while providing momentary area control within the arrow’s flaming remains.
Plus, hit up the Crafting Table in Zombies to singe undead flesh with the Combat Bow!
Zombies: Season 05 Reloaded Content
ZOMBIES CONTENT SUMMARY
Reckoning – Directed Mode: Get extra guidance on the Main Quest in Reckoning as the crew travels to Project Janus Headquarters in the final chapter of Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Team Cranked LTM: Get the crew pumped up with the return of Team Cranked, offering powerful abilities to keep you on the move and hunting the undead. Keep slaying to prevent the Cranked timer from running out!
New Leaderboard Events: Compete for the top spot in two new Leaderboard Events!
Reckoning: Directed Mode
Following the crew’s harrowing adventure in Shattered Veil, the team must decide to choose to help Richtofen in restoring his family, thus stopping S.A.M.’s plan or aid S.A.M. in gaining a body and place themselves in the wrath of Richtofen.
With the mid-season arrival of Directed Mode for Reckoning, players can now benefit from a maximum round cap of 15 plus added guidance when pursuing the Main Quest as they breach Janus Towers, which are on the verge of perilous collapse.
Face off against new enemies like Uber Klaus and a battalion of automated robots alongside undead Project Janus security personnel, scientists, hazmat crews, and other terrifying mutations. Wield the new Gorgofex Wonder Weapon, a living armament loaded with Aether-based energy slugs that can be charged for maximum destructive power. When in a bind, activate and upgrade the new C.A.S.T.E.R. Turret trap to help eliminate surrounding threats.
Players who complete Reckoning on Directed Mode will earn a unique Calling Card variant upon completion along with the “Keepsake” Weapon Charm and an XP payout.
Keep an eye on the Zombies section of our Black Ops 6 Guides for the official walkthrough of Reckoning Directed Mode, coming soon!
Returning LTM: Team Cranked
Power up and slay zombie after zombie to keep the clock ticking as Team Cranked returns in the mid-season!
In this exhilarating game mode, the Cranked Timer is activated for the whole team after the first undead enemy is eliminated. Once active, you’ll have to work together to keep the timer ticking by chaining eliminations; if the seconds count down to zero, it’s game over.
Eliminate enemies to add more time to the countdown, up to a maximum of 30 seconds at the start of the match. With every round, however, the max allotted time is reduced by one second. Thankfully, the team benefits from some significant advantages encouraging players to remain on the offensive:
1. The Cranked state amps up all Operators, conferring incredible speed bonuses including faster movement and rapid reloads.
2. The amount of Essence earned by eliminating zombies is increased compared to Standard/Directed matches.
3. All Operators are automatically equipped with the Time Stopper Field Upgrade. Activate it to pause the Cranked timer for the whole team.
4. Grab the rare Time Extended power-up to increase the maximum allowed time; in this mode, every second counts.
There are no Wall Buys in Team Cranked; the Mystery Box is your key to greater power. Players earn more Essence while Cranked, however, giving you ample opportunities to spin the box in search of the best tools for the job.
Season 05 Reloaded brings fresh rewards to players who complete the Main Quest after Round 30, with each map awarding a five pack of GobbleGums, and a whopping 15,000 XP payout.
Leaderboard Events: No Cranked, No Glory & Undead Ascension
Look for two new Zombies Leaderboard Events arriving in the mid-season. Climb the ladder and earn rewards starting with No Cranked, No Glory, followed by Undead Ascension coming later in the mid-season.
Call of Duty: Warzone: Season 05 Reloaded Content
CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE SUMMARY
Deadline LTM: Battle against enemy players as well as enemy combatants known as Hostile Soldiers in this new respawn-enabled LTM where the lowest scoring squads are eliminated throughout the match.
Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.) Bowl VI, WSOW: Two highly anticipated Call of Duty: Warzone tournaments are just on the horizon! Catch all the action live as C.O.D.E. Bowl VI presented by USAA airs on September 30, followed by the World Series of Warzone Global Final on October 1.
Lasting Impact
Following the epic breach into Stadium, Verdansk is forever changed. The roof is now permanently blown off the structure, the interior accessible to all squads. All future deployments to Verdansk will feature the newly revealed area, including within the new Deadline limited-time mode arriving in the mid-season.
New LTM: Deadline
Quads, 100 Players, Players and Hostile Soldiers, Verdansk
There’s no room for stragglers in the new Deadline LTM, so get to work the moment you land in the field. It pays to take risks, as all players are provided with unlimited respawns, but beware overextending and falling behind. With each Circle Collapse, the lowest scoring squads are eliminated from the match, and a wave of enemy combatants called Hostile Soldiers will appear to increase the pressure on the remaining teams.
You’ll have to keep proving yourself throughout the match, as each new circle resets earned score for all squads. To scrape back up from the bottom, focus on eliminating enemies, completing Contracts, looting supplies, and spending cash at Buy Stations to keep that score rolling in.
In Deadline, every action counts. Work with your teammates, keep your cool, and prepare to rebuild from scratch after each reset.
