What’s New in Season 01?
Season 01 of Black Ops 6 delivers a series of updates that will shake up the entire experience, from fresh maps and game modes to important quality-of-life improvements. Here’s a rundown of the main features:
New Multiplayer Maps
Season 01 introduces three new multiplayer maps, each designed to provide unique tactical experiences. These maps give players a range of environments, from close-quarters combat areas to sprawling training facilities.
Hideout (6v6): This mid-sized map features a training ground complete with target practice areas, obstacle courses, and a simulated vault room. It’s ideal for practicing your skills and strategizing for the Luttazzi family mission. With a mix of tight corners and open spaces, Hideout offers dynamic gameplay.
Heirloom (6v6, 2v2): A map set in an art gallery, Heirloom tasks players with creating a diversion while the Rogue Black Ops team executes their real mission. The map includes a 6v6 mode for larger-scale combat, as well as a 2v2 variant perfect for smaller, intense firefights.
Extraction (6v6): Following the chaos of a failed ambush, Extraction throws players into a hostile environment with shifting combat zones. Players must fight to survive while navigating the wreckage of a disastrous attack on the Luttazzi family.
Exciting New Modes
Season 01 adds fresh modes to spice up the action, ensuring players have a variety of ways to enjoy the game.
Ransack (Launch Mode): Players must loot gold bars scattered across the map and return them to their team's stash. With plenty of competition for the loot, securing your haul will require both speed and strategy.
Prop Hunt (In-Season Mode): A fan-favorite, Prop Hunt makes its return in Season 01. In this hilarious and chaotic mode, players either hide as props or hunt them down as they try to eliminate all props from the map. The inclusion of new multiplayer maps makes this mode even more fun and unpredictable.
New Weapons and Attachments
This season brings a fresh batch of weapons and attachments, allowing players to further customize their loadouts to fit their playstyle.
Krig C (Assault Rifle): A powerful and versatile assault rifle that excels across multiple ranges. It offers solid damage output and accuracy, making it a great all-around choice for players who enjoy flexibility in combat.
Saug (SMG): A fast-firing submachine gun designed for close-quarters battles. The Saug is ideal for clearing rooms or running and gunning in tight spaces. It’s a weapon that favors aggressive players who prefer to get in close to the action.
Sirin 9mm (Special Weapon): A unique foldable weapon that offers a steady, full-auto rate of fire with moderate recoil. The Sirin 9mm is an excellent choice for mid-range combat, providing players with precision and control.
Power Drill (Melee Weapon): Available as an event reward, this rapid-attacking melee weapon allows players to deal quick damage in close-range fights. Perfect for those who prefer up-close combat, the Power Drill delivers fast and efficient damage.
12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath (Battle Pass): For shotgun enthusiasts, this attachment delivers incendiary rounds that set enemies on fire, causing additional damage over time. Ideal for those who enjoy area control and want to inflict persistent damage.
Buffer Weight Stock (Event Reward): This stock reduces recoil and improves the stability of several weapons, including the XM4 Assault Rifle and the DM-10 Marksman Rifle. It’s perfect for players who want smoother recoil control during sustained fire.
New Operators
Operators are back in Season 01, with two brand-new characters ready to join the battlefield.
Sevati "Sev" Dumas: A crucial member of the Rogue Team after the conclusion of the Campaign, Sev is out to make deals with the French Syndicate while preparing to take down the Luttazzi family. Sev’s abilities and backstory can be unlocked via the Battle Pass.
Goliath: A fiery operator, Goliath brings his molten combat skills to the battlefield. His origins remain classified, but his abilities are unmatched, making him a powerful addition to any player’s roster. He’s available for BlackCell users.
The Replacer: A new operator that arrives later in the season, The Replacer is available as part of an in-game store bundle. He brings a unique set of skills to the fight and is a highly anticipated addition for those who enjoy collecting operators.
Zombies Mode Updates
Zombies players have a lot to look forward to in Season 01. New features and tweaks to the core experience ensure that the game remains fresh and engaging.
Directed Mode: For the Liberty Falls and Terminus maps, Directed Mode offers a more guided approach to completing main quests. This mode helps players stay on track, listing objectives clearly on-screen. Side quests and other features like the Rampage Inducer are disabled in this mode.
Weapon Buffs: Several weapons have been re-tuned, with buffs to damage and effectiveness, especially for assault rifles and the HE-1 Launcher. When Pack-a-Punched, the HE-1 becomes a much more formidable weapon against large groups of zombies.
Bug Fixes and System Enhancements
Season 01 also brings several bug fixes and system enhancements to ensure smoother gameplay across all modes.
Weapon Tuning: Following player feedback, weapon damage has been adjusted across various classes. Assault rifles and shotguns now deliver more consistent damage, especially in Hardcore modes, where a single bullet should be enough to take down an enemy.
Anti-Cheat Enhancements: New measures have been introduced to fight cheating in Ranked Play, including improved AFK detection and changes to ping thresholds, which reduce the impact of VPN abuse.
UI Fixes: Several UI-related issues have been resolved, including problems with the Battle Pass, equipment skins, and loadout customization. These fixes help streamline the user experience and ensure that players can easily access and manage their content.
Warzone Integration
Season 01 also includes new updates to Warzone, ensuring that the integration with Black Ops 6 is seamless.
Area 99 Resurgence Map: The new Area 99 map introduces a fresh environment for players to explore and fight in. Set in the Nevada desert, it adds a whole new dynamic to the Warzone experience.
Custom Loadouts Increased: Similar to Black Ops 6, Warzone now features 12 custom loadout slots, providing players with more flexibility to tailor their gear to their preferred playstyle.
PlayStation 5 Pro Enhancements
For players on PlayStation 5 Pro, Season 01 brings enhanced visual features, allowing the game to run in 4K at 120 FPS. New graphical settings like Spectral Super Resolution enhance image quality, ensuring that the game looks stunning on compatible devices.
Stability Improvements and Bug Fixes
Multiple stability improvements have been made across both Black Ops 6 and Warzone, addressing issues like crashes, loading errors, and performance drops. These fixes are designed to make the experience smoother and more enjoyable for everyone.
