This will be the first mid-season refresh, going live on December 5. Players can expect new game modes, weapons, and more along the way. Let’s first look at the game modes that will soon be available.

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded game modes

With the festive season coming soon, you can indulge in the Ran-Snack mode. This multiplayer-based mode will require you to trade gold for sweets. You and your team will have to grab cookies from rotating crates, and your enemy team, and the one with the best score, wins.

Infectious Holiday is going to be available later in the season, and it will be a twist on the popular Infected mode. Players and the undead will be dressed in the Yuletide colors, but it’s safe to expect more twists.

In Warzone, you’ll be able to enjoy Holiday Rush on Area 99. The Slay Ride Resurgence mode will come later in the season, where you’ll have to save the train from Undead Santa, who has hijacked all the goodies.

Apart from special modes, unique events will run throughout the season across all the game modes.

  • Event: GobbleGum Mania (ZM only, December  5 ā€“ 19)

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded maps

The new seasonal refresh brings new maps, and you can find two of them in the multiplayer mode. The remastered version of Hacienda returns once again, and it will be available in 6v6 modes. Racket is a brand new map that will be available in 2v2/6v6 options.

If you loved Nuketown in the first part of November, fear not – the map will be available as a special-themed offering, as the compounds and all the mannequins will deck up to celebrate Christmas. If you love Zombies, Citadelle des Morts will be the perfect getaway. Established in the 1300s, the location will completely differ from Terminus and Liberty Falls.

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded guns

Season 1 Reloaded has plenty when it comes to weapons and guns. The Maelstrom shotgun will be available from the Merry Mayhem event, while the AMR Mod 4 will be making its debut in the following weeks. You’ll be able to obtain it from Archie’s Festival Frenzy. The collection of melee weapons gets a great addition in the form of Cleaver, which is also going to be an in-season event reward.

In case you’re bored with the Wonder Weapons of Zombies, Citadelle des Morts has something new in store. You’ll be able to find four elemental weapons, along with a claymore called The Bastard Sword. This sword will have two useful abilities – one offensive and one defensive, but you can get more out of it to form elemental weapons in the game.

There’s plenty more waiting for the players over the next one and a half months. Additionally, Ranked mode will also go live in Warzone, which will be a treat for the competitive lot.
