Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone are set to receive a substantial content injection with the Season 5 Reloaded update launching later this week. Despite growing anticipation for the upcoming Battlefield 6 and Black Ops 7 showdown, Activision continues to support current players with meaningful updates and engaging new experiences.

As seasoned players have come to expect, the mid-season Reloaded update typically brings significant new content alongside substantial gameplay adjustments. Following its initial August 7 launch, Black Ops 6 Season 5's Reloaded expansion arrives this week, introducing fresh content across all major game modes including multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone.

The Season 5 Reloaded update officially goes live on September 4, bringing an array of new features and content to both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Ahead of the launch, Call of Duty detailed the upcoming additions through an official blog post, giving players a comprehensive look at what to expect.

For multiplayer enthusiasts, Black Ops 6 introduces Jackpot, a new 6v6 core map inspired by the High Rollers campaign mission and the beloved Black Ops 4 Casino map. The update also revives popular game modes including Ransack and Blueprint Gunfight, while introducing Cranked Demolition - an intense variant where teams alternate between attacking and defending bomb sites. This mode rewards players with perks for successful plants, defuses, or eliminations, while implementing a countdown mechanic that forces constant action to prevent explosive consequences.

Zombies mode receives significant attention with the addition of a Directed Mode for the Reckoning map, implementing a 15-round cap while providing guidance through the main quest via Janus Towers. Successful completion unlocks exclusive rewards including a new Calling Card variant, Keepsake weapon Charm, and bonus XP. Team Cranked returns as a Limited Time Mode, alongside two new Leaderboard events that let competitive players battle for top positions.

Warzone players can experience the new Deadline limited time mode, which introduces unlimited revives and running scores for each participating squad. The twist comes with each circle collapse, where the lowest-scoring squads face elimination and replacement by enemy combatants. Importantly, scores reset with each new circle, requiring constant engagement to avoid elimination.

The update also introduces new weaponry, including the Gravemark .357 Revolver - a secondary pistol class weapon obtainable through the upcoming Operation: Hell Ride event. The PPSh-41 SMG receives the new Helical magazine attachment, available through the Nuketown Black Party event. Both free and premium reward tracks offer weapon skins, blueprints, and operator skins inspired by Nuketown mannequins.

Despite the approaching Black Ops 7 beta, Activision provides compelling reasons to continue engaging with the current title. As a download incentive for the Season 5 Reloaded update, players receive 2XP tokens for Battle Pass, Weapons, and Player experience when they complete the download and log in between September 4 (10am PT) and October 1. Additionally, players logging into Black Ops 6 or Warzone from September 2 through 16 receive 20 free Battle Pass tier skip tokens.
