While all eyes are looking to Black Ops 7, there are still a few months' worth of juice left in Black Ops 6's live service calendar, including Season Four Reloaded.
The new midseason update launching on July 2 includes new content such as the Olympia shotgun and the return of a favorite Black Ops 3 map. It's also got a new collaboration featuring classic cartoon characters Beavis and Butt-Head, among others, new limited-time events, and a bunch of free unlockable rewards to add to your growing CoD collections.
Here's everything there is to know about the new content coming to BO6 as part of Season Four Reloaded.

BO6 Season 4 Reloaded patch notes
Weapon balancing changes
Weapon buffs and nerfs are on the way to level the playing field when it comes to balancing on Ranked Play and other modes. Check back here closer to the update's launch on July 2 for full details once they're released.
Two new maps
Classic Black Ops 3 map Fringe returns as part of the update, along with a new small-sized map for two-vs-two or six-vs-six called Eclipse.
"Battle to the beat in this underground nightclub in Avalon where neon lights illuminate the halls and dance floor," Activision said. "Head straight to the middle to duke it out center stage or engage enemies down the sides, remaining watchful for enemy movement while passing the dining tables set along the way. Get a view over the action from the DJ Booth or set up in the corner Coat Check and tag passing targets."
Two new weapons
The Olympia shotgun and Pickaxe melee weapon will be available in the update as event rewards.
"The iconic double-barreled Olympia returns for its Black Ops 6 debut, designated as a Special Weapon well-suited to close-quarters engagements as a handy secondary choice," Activision said. "Each shot sprays a cloud of pellets at your target; aim down sights for a tighter spread or fire off the hip for a wider shot. Via Gunsmith, attach the Short Barrel for an even wider spread and the Cut-Off Stock for improved handling. Make every shot count."
Beavis and Butt-Head
The foul-mouthed teens who loved watching and critiquing music videos star in this update's collab, joining as operator skins along with other characters from the cartoon. Both skins will be available as part of store bundles, along with an in-game event that includes more cosmetics.
New BO6 Zombies modes
Two new limited-time modes are coming to BO6 Zombies as part of Season Four Reloaded. Abomination Challenge summons a highly difficult variant of the massive zombie monster that you must defeat before unlocking exfil (among other modifiers), and Starting Room confines you to the starting area where you must take a stand.
New events
There are two events during Season Four Reloaded before season five begins sometime in July, including the Beavis and Butt-Head event and CODtoons.
Unlockable items in these LTMs include the Olympia, Pickaxe, operator skins, and several new weapon mods and attachments.
This article will be updated with more information whenever it becomes available.
