Rush and Capture the Flag Return to Multiplayer

  • Rush (6v6): Remastered from Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Rush is a small-sized 6v6 map that takes place in and around a speedball course. Prepare for chaotic skirmishes through narrow choke zones and around the exterior paintball structures.
  • Capture the Flag: In this classic game mode, teams must take the enemy flag and return it to their base while defending their own from the enemy team. A flag will not be captured unless a team’s own flag is safe in their base, so squads must have both a good offense and defense to win the match.

Earn Two New Weapons

Season Four Reloaded includes two new weapons, unlocked by completing their in-game challenges or by picking up a Blueprint version in the in-game Store. These weapons can be used in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone.

  • OTs 9 (Launch Week) — Inflict solid damage at a high fire rate with the OTs 9 submachine gun. Sure to be a favorite among Operators who prefer close-quarters battle, this SMG is comparable to the Bullfrog in terms of damage and fire rate.
  • Mace (Launch Week) — Get medieval and knock away enemy Operators and the undead alike using the new Mace melee weapon. Only the strong need apply.

New Onslaught Content (PlayStation)

Requiem Agents on PlayStation have a new Onslaught map to fight the undead and collect Intel on as part of Season Four Reloaded, in addition to a limited-time mode and a Legendary LMG Weapon Blueprint.

Agents will tackle zombie hordes on the classic map Rush and can race into combat at a ridiculous pace with the “Onslaught Accelerated” mode.

Then there is the LMG Weapon Blueprint, the “Chemtaminate,” which can be unlocked by surviving 20 accelerated Surge waves and used across all Zombies and Multiplayer modes in Black Ops Cold War.

New updates to Warzone

New Mode: Payload

The massive free-to-play Battle Royale introduces its first-ever objective-based mode: Payload. Inspired by large-scale game modes like Call of Duty: WWII’sWar Mode, Payload pits two teams of 20 players against each other in a race against time for crucial intel.

The attacking team must escort vehicles across all checkpoints within the time limit to win the match. It’s up to the defending team to keep that from happening.

Look for Payload in the Featured Playlist Rotation as part of Season Four Reloaded.

New Event: Blueprint Blitz

Yearning for some of the earlier Weapon Blueprints you missed out on? In this new event type, a Contraband Contract will automatically spawn after completing two regular Contracts, giving you a permanent Weapon Blueprint reward if you’re able to extract it from the DZ. Not a bad way to fill out your arsenal later in the season.

New Killstreak: Sentry Gun

In need of some extra firepower? The latest Killstreak to be introduced in Warzone, the Sentry Gun scans in a near 180-degree radius to detect and attack enemy Operators. If you’re lucky, you’ll discover this new Legendary item within a Red Door room supply box.

The Growing Mystery of the Red Doors

The bravest Operators have entered the red door, stepping out into parts unknown. Further intel suggests that these Red Doors will appear [[REDACTED]] and take you to [[REDACTED]]. As Perseus sleeper cells are still at large in Verdansk, we caution you to [[REDACTED]].
