Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 & Warzone Season 1 Reloaded Full Content Breakdown

New Multiplayer Maps & Modes

Season 1 Reloaded’s first massive content drop is the arrival of the second half of Multiplayer maps for Season 1. Three Multiplayer maps arrive with Season 1 Reloaded, including Yakei (6v6 and 2v2), the Meltdown remaster (6v6), and the Black Ops 6 version of Fringe (6v6). All maps arrive on day one of Season 1 Reloaded.

As for the arrival of new modes, Takeover is slated to drop with Season 1 Reloaded. Takeover is a completely new mode that combines the rules of Domination with Hardpoint, where two teams compete to hold three objectives, which move to different locations after all three have been captured. The team with the highest score at the end of all rounds will be given the victory.

With the arrival of the Fallout crossover, Multiplayer players can jump into the Ghoul Infection LTM, featuring a twist on the Infected ruleset, this time with players tuning into radioactive Ghouls from Fallout.

Astra Malorum Directed Mode, Zarya Cosmodrome Survival, & More for Zombies

Astra Malorum arrived with the launch of Season 1, but with Season 1 Reloaded, players can now play the space-bound map in Directed Mode. With the release of Astra Malorum Directed Mode, players will be guided through the Main Easter Egg Quest with clear objectives and round caps, making it perfect for casual players. Those who complete Directed Mode will get the Cosmic Repair Skin for Grey, the Directed Calling Card, and 5,000 XP.

Apart from Astra Malorum Directed Mode, Zarya Cosmodrome Survival also drops with Season 1 Reloaded on day one, allowing players to jump into Survival action on the Zarya Cosmodrome point of interest from Ashes of the Damned.

Last up is the arrival of a new LTM, which is arriving with the Fallout crossover. Enter Project RADS, which will have players facing off against a Deathclaw in round-based Zombies, along with Ghouls that replace the standard Zombies. Healing and Essence have been removed from this mode in favor of Bottle Caps and points, and drops that heal players from increasing levels of radiation. This mode will be available for both Ashes of the Damned and Astra Malorum.

Endgame World Events & Updates

Two new World Events are arriving with Season 1 Reloaded. The first is the Wraith Wing Event, which will have players taking on a VTOL that is said to be capable of cloning itself, according to the Season 1 blog. The Deathclaw Hunt World Event also arrives day one for a limited-time with the Fallout collaboration, bringing a radiation zone filled with Feral Ghouls and Death Claws to take on.

Last up for Endgame content is the Phantom Skill Track, giving players new abilities to wield. These include Ambush, Fast Melee, Trap Avoidance, Silent Movement, and much more, all of which support a stealth-oriented playstyle.

Warzone Updates

High Octane arrives in Warzone Verdansk as a 150-player LTM that drops players in with their custom loadouts right off the bat, along with faster-closing gas circles, bigger cash rewards, increased drops such as Grapple Hooks and Gas Masks, and plenty more. The Power Armor Royale LTM also enters the fray, giving players access to Power Armor in Warzone. Wield the popular suit along with a Death Machine after fully charging your Fusion Core to take out the opposition in this new mode.

As for other content, Raven Software and Treyarch have teased anomalies appearing in different locations for mid-season, which will likely tie into unique in-game events and map changes, along with the arrival of “Win Streak” Camo Rewards.

New Mid-Season Weapons & Loadout Options For All Modes

Season 1 Reloaded sees the arrival of the second half of weapons for Season 1, bringing two new guns for players to unlock and wield. The Hawker HX Sniper and the Sturmwolf 45 SMG both arrive as Event Rewards for Season 1 Reloaded, with the Hawker HX likely releasing during the update’s launch window, and the Sturmwolf 45 being available day one through the Fallout Event Pass.

New attachments also enter the fray, each unlocked through the remaining Weekly Challenge updates for the rest of Season 1. These include the CODA Adaptive Discharge Mod, the M8A1 Auto Full Auto Conversion, and the MPC-25 Contrabloom Laser.

Aside from new weapons and attachments, additional loadout content from Black Ops 6 is also arriving in Black Ops 7 Multiplayer and Zombies. These include the following:

Shock Charge Tactical
Impact Grenade Tactical
Thermo Grenade Lethal
Morphine Injector Field Upgrade (Multiplayer Only)
Tactical Insertion Field Upgrade (Multiplayer Only)
Archangel Launcher Scorestreak (Multiplayer Only)
Combat Bow Scorestreak
Death Machine Scorestreak
Dreadnought Scorestreak (Multiplayer Only)
Grim Reaper Scorestreak
SAM Turret Scorestreak (Multiplayer Only)

Limited-Time Events & Fallout Crossover

Fallout Event Pass Showcase in Black Ops 7

The final bit of content players can look forward to is the arrival of new Events, with at least two being confirmed, thanks to the fact that both the Hawker HX Sniper and the Sturmwolf 45 SMG are Event Rewards. The first event is the Fallout Event, which takes the form of an Event Pass with both a free track and a premium track (1,100 COD Points). Players can get both Vault Dweller Skins, the Maximus Power Armor, and the Ghoul through the Pass, with the Lucy / Vault Lucy Skin being a separate bundle.

Other events also roll out throughout the remainder of Season 1 Reloaded, including the Quantum Exchange collection Event and the Baron of the Wasteland Leaderboard Event, rewarding players with the Hawker HX Sniper Rifle and additional weapon camos.
