Activision has officially unveiled the complete patch notes for the mid-season update of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, known as Season 4 Reloaded. The update is set to launch on July 2 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and Battle.net. Players can now explore the extensive list of changes, including new content, weapon balancing, and bug fixes.

The Season 4 Reloaded update follows the highly anticipated Season 4 launch, which aimed to build on the success of Season 3. While Season 3 was praised for revitalizing Warzone with the return of Verdansk and classic Modern Warfare weapons, Season 4 faced criticism due to bugs and controversial features. This mid-season update seeks to address those issues while introducing fresh content.

Key Highlights of Season 4 Reloaded

New Maps

• Fringe (6v6): A reimagined version of the Black Ops 3 classic, set in the Rolling Hills distillery during its grand opening.
• Eclipse (6v6, 2v2): A neon-lit underground nightclub in Avalon, offering fast-paced combat.

New Weapons

• Olympia (Special): A double-barrel shotgun with high damage but frequent reloads.
• Pickaxe (Melee): A one-hit-kill melee weapon with medium attack speed.

Controversial Collaboration

The update introduces a surprising crossover with Beavis and Butt-Head, featuring operator skins for both characters. While some fans are excited, others argue the cartoonish style clashes with Black Ops 6's gritty aesthetic.

Weapon Balancing

The patch notes include extensive adjustments to weapon attachments, focusing on improving underused options and enabling new playstyles. Key changes include:

• Krig C (Warzone): Reduced maximum damage range and effectiveness in long-range engagements.
• XM4 (Multiplayer/Zombies): Improved recoil control and handling.

Zombies Updates

Two new Limited-Time Modes arrive in Zombies:

• Abomination Challenge: Players must defeat the powerful Mo while managing waves of enhanced enemies.
• Starting Room: A survival mode where players are confined to the starting area of a map, battling increasingly difficult waves.

Warzone Changes

The Verdansk map receives updates, including a Buy Station and UAV Tower on the train. A new Havoc Royale mode introduces chaotic modifiers like Charge Jump and Melon Heads, where players sport oversized heads for explosive headshots.
