What to expect from Black Ops 7 & Warzone Season 3 Reloaded

Reloaded updates serve as a refresh halfway through the season, adding substantial content across BO7 Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and Warzone while setting up the final stretch before Season 4.

In Multiplayer, players can expect the return of the classic Summit in remastered form, alongside the brand-new Onsen map and the returning Hacienda from Black Ops 6. A new Ascent map is also coming for Free Run, which makes its return in the mid-season update, giving fans of the parkour-style mode something to be excited for. New limited-time modes like Heat Wave Havoc and Freeze Tag are also set to add more variety to Multiplayer.

In Zombies, the big addition is Totenreich, a new map set in a remote Norwegian fishing town twisted by Group 935 experiments and consumed by the Dark Aether. You can also expect a new Wild Fire field upgrade that burns and slows enemies while boosting movement speed. Another major addition is the first Legacy Weapon coming to Mystery Boxes as an Ultra Rarity reward, with power said to rival a Wonder Weapon.

For Endgame, the update is expected to introduce Thermal Spike, a new Major Ability that unleashes a powerful blast of flames and leaves burning effects in the area for a short time. A new operation following the Poison Pill is also planned.

Over in Warzone, new limited-time modes are on the way, including Hot Pursuit in Black Ops Royale on Avalon and 24v24 Prop Hunt Royale on Rebirth Island. You can also look forward to new equipment like Spikes, experimental stimulants available at Buy Stations, as well as the Cluster Grenade, which will be added across Battle Royale and Resurgence.

Across all modes, Season 3 Reloaded is also bringing new weapons, the Siren Special Weapon and the Katana melee, along with several new weapon attachments, including the the MK.78 Lightframe PDW Conversion, Warden 308 Badlands Pistol Kit, Carbon 57 Fabricator Mag, and Ryden 45K Apex Sweeper Rig, which could introduce new meta loadouts.

Beyond gameplay content, more events are expected throughout the mid-season, including the C.O.D.E. Navigator Challenge, a Freerun Event with unlockable camos, and Ranked Series Events for both Multiplayer and Resurgence, with more surprises likely still to come.
