Activision has officially unveiled the Call of Duty Season 3 Reloaded update for Black Ops 7 and Warzone. This mid-season refresh launches on Thursday, April 30, for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Developers Treyarch Studios and Raven Software have packed this update with new maps, game modes, and highly anticipated Zombies content.
Fresh Multiplayer Maps & Modes
Multiplayer fans have plenty to explore. The update brings back two remastered classics: Summit and Hacienda. Furthermore, players will receive a brand-new map called Onsen, available for both 6v6 and 2v2 matches.
Additionally, players can test their movement mechanics in a brand-new way. The Freerun mode challenges Operators across 10 distinct zones of dexterity and marksmanship. You can compete against others for the best completion time and earn specific rewards.
Call of Duty Season 3: New Horrors in Zombies
Zombies enthusiasts are getting a new round-based map named Totenreich. This map traps an ancient Bronze Age Norwegian fishing village inside the terrifying Dark Aether.
Naturally, new threats await. The Necropincer is a doomed undead Viking warrior spirit. It wields a trident to stab nearby players and throws the weapon at distant enemies.
To combat these horrors, players can unlock the Jotunn Star. This ancient lantern serves as a powerful new Wonder Weapon. It strikes foes with a barbed iron chain and casts deadly fireballs. The weapon absorbs the essence of eliminated enemies to unleash four distinct attacks:
- Lantern Swing: A blunt melee attack to drop advancing undead.
- Flame Charge: Stores enemy energy to enable advanced attacks and provide warmth.
- Flame Tendril: A fiery cord connects two or more fully charged lanterns, draining the life of enemies caught between them.
- Flame Strike: Discharges stored energy as a massive, explosive fireball.
Warzone Gets Limited-Time Modes
Warzone players also receive exciting new content next Thursday. The update introduces two limited-time modes.
First, Hot Pursuit hits the Avalon map. In this fast-paced, vehicle-driven mode, “Police” Operators hunt down “Thieves”. Second, Prop Hunt arrives on Rebirth Island. This massive 24v24 mode lets teams alternate between playing as Hunters and Props in the ultimate game of hide and seek.
