BLACK OPS 6 ZOMBIES & MULTIPLAYER

Wednesday, December 4, 2024

 

Welcome to Season 01 Reloaded

Season 01 keeps on giving in the mid-season update. Visit Citadelle des Morts tomorrow! Then celebrate CODMAS, where even the undead get festive, with multiple holiday-themed LTMs plus three Multiplayer maps including Nuketown Holiday, three new weapons, the arrival of Battle Royale Ranked Play for Call of Duty: Warzone, and more.

 

In the meantime, check out our Patch Notes for details on new Season 01 Reloaded Content and the latest balance adjustments, gameplay improvements, bug fixes, and more.

 

Looking for Warzone Patch Notes? The team at Raven Software has you covered here.

New Multiplayer Maps

• Hacienda (6v6)
  • Last seen in Black Ops 4, the iconic competitive map returns, sending Operators back to the infamous vineyard estate. Battle within the open-air, two-story mansion with surrounding views of the pristine courtyard below. From the grand foyer past the lion statue, head toward the showroom garage or move out to the garden to keep the fight outside. On the other end of the estate, marvel at the built-in aquarium above the vault.
• Racket (2v2, 6v6)
  • Time to crack open the heart of the Luttazzi money laundering operation and hit them where it really hurts. Breach the premises in this small-sized underground bank vault, a line of broken tiles marking the path of the center bulldozer placed before the vault of golden bars. Defaced pieces of art and the crossed-out emblem of the Luttazzi family indicate not just greed but malicious intent. In combat, however, leave that all to the side — keep your senses sharp and your head on a swivel while navigating the map’s many tight corners and enclosed spaces.
• Nuketown Holiday (6v6)
  • Nuketown gets a festive makeover for the holidays. Put on your winter gear and grab some snowballs!

New Limited-Time Multiplayer Modes

• Ran-Snack (December 12)
  • • Trade gold for sweets in this festive LTM that challenges teams to gather and deposit the most cookies. Grab cookies from the rotating crate and fallen Operators and bring them back to your stash. Impede the enemy’s progress by eating their cookies directly from their cookie box. In honor of the season of giving, your Operator also earns buffs for depositing cookies, including a speed boost, faster reload, and faster health regen. The first team to reach the Score Limit or have the best score when the Time Limit expires wins.
• Infectious Holiday (December 12)
  • • Even the undead are getting into the holiday spirit as zombies and fallen Operators don festive clothing in this festive twist on the fan-favorite Infected mode.

New Weapons

• Maelstrom – Shotgun (Merry Mayhem Event Reward)
  • Clear rooms with this fast firing full-auto Shotgun that overwhelms enemies with a hail of lead. The perfect weapon for the new Racket Strike map and in any confined area, the Maelstrom requires getting up close, its heavy recoil and large hip spread quickly losing effectiveness at range. If you can close the distance first, they’re toast.
• AMR Mod 4 – Sniper Rifle (Archie’s Festival Frenzy Event Reward)
  • Down enemies fast with this powerful Sniper Rifle providing a one-shot elimination across the upper body not accounting for armor. Its high damage is balanced by slow aim speed and heavy recoil, though these drawbacks can be alleviated with the right attachments. However you customize it, this thing is guaranteed to hit hard.
• Cleaver – Melee (Event Reward)
  • Go ham with the close-quarters Cleaver Melee weapon. Chop and slice with a mix of heavy and light attacks. Equally useful for enemy Operators and the undead.

 

New Attachments

• 3-Round Burst Mod Conversion (Merry Mayhem Event Reward)
  • Convert the XM4 Assault Rifle’s primary firing mode into a three-round burst, conserving ammo and supporting a steadier aim through sustained combat.
• 3-Round Burst Mod Conversion (Archie’s Festive Frenzy Event Reward)
  • Add some control to the rapid-fire Kompakt 92 SMG with a three-round burst primary firing mode. Each burst cycles quickly to the next, allowing you to still pump out damage when it’s needed most.

 

New Multiplayer Perk & Wildcard

• New Perk – Season Launch Window 
  • Shrapnel Radar – Recon
    • Unlocked reward as part of the Merry Mayhem Event
    • Blast damage dealt from area-of-effect Lethals, Tacticals and Field Upgrades mark the injured target on your minimap.
• New Wildcard – Unlocked In-Season
  • High Roller
    • Equip a fourth Scorestreak for use in Core 6v6 Multiplayer matches. Pairs well with Assassin, Dispatcher, and Bankroll.

New Zombies Map

• Citadelle des Morts
  • One of Avalon’s oldest landmarks, the Citadel is shunned by locals both for its sinister history and because it is a base of operations for the crime family known as the French Syndicate. The castle was established in the 1100s on the site of a leper colony, and construction was completed a century later. In the 1300s, the renegade knight Guy de Saint Michel and his four enforcers took over the fortress and instituted a criminal reign of terror that birthed the Syndicate.

New Zombies Enemy

• Doppelghast (Citadelle des Morts)
  • Serving as the next stage in the evolutionary chain of Dark Aether metamorphosis, Doppelghasts are violent and display erratic and unsettling movement, as if each head is independently fighting for control of its body. It lurches, randomly knots itself up to perform fast and unexpected maneuvers and tends to outrun its lesser brethren using its powerful, elongated feet.

 

New Zombies Perk-A-Cola

• Vulture Aid
  • Available for the first time since Black Ops II, consume a can of Vulture Aid Elixir once you find the monstrous avian sculpture of a Perk-A-Cola machine, and you’ll discover an increase in the variety of loot dropped from enemies. Additional loot takes the form of Essence Vials and small Ammo drops. This is only available (and visible) to the player with Vulture Aid active. Then unlock the full power of the Perk by ensuring Augments are added!
    • Vulture Aid is available on Citadelle des Morts, along with the eight previously accessible Zombies Perks. Note that some of these eight Perks are only available via a Der Wunderfizz machine.
    • Vulture Aid is available on Liberty Falls and Terminus maps via the Der Wunderfizz machine.
    • Vulture Aid: Major Augments
      • Fetid Upgr-aid
        • On death, zombies have a chance to create a gas cloud that charges your Field Upgrade.
      • Smell of Death
        • On death, zombies have a chance to create a gas cloud that conceals you while standing in it.
      • Parting Gift
        • Vulture Aid ammo drops give more ammo to Wonder Weapons.
    • Vulture Aid: Minor Augments
      • Condor’s Reach
        • Auto-pickup loot from farther away.
      • Carrion Luggage
        • Critical kills have a chance to drop extra Salvage.
      • Picky Eater
        • On death, zombies have a higher chance of dropping your current equipment.

 

New Zombies Ammo Mod

• Light Mend
  • Bullets deal Light (i.e. elemental) damage. Each bullet has a chance to transform a normal or Special enemy’s health into a healing glyph that moves to nearby injured allies.
    • This Ammo Mod can be used in all three Zombies maps along with the previously accessible Ammo Mods, assuming it is chosen at an Arsenal Machine.
  • Unlocked reward as part of the Merry Mayhem Event.
  • Light Mend: Major Augments
    • Antibiotic
      • The healing glyph now damages enemies that touch it, but its lifetime is reduced.

      • The healing glyph replenishes more health when consumed.
    • Express Remedy
      • Increase the range that the glyph will move to an ally.

 

New Zombies Field Upgrade

• Tesla Storm
  • For 10 seconds, lightning connects to other players, stunning and damaging normal enemies.
    • This Field Upgrade can be used in all three Zombies maps along with the previously accessible Field Upgrades, assuming it is chosen as part of your Loadout, or swapped via the menu during a game.
  • Unlocked reward as part of the Merry Mayhem Event.
  • Tesla Storm: Major Augments
    • Transformer
      • The field’s damage is increased by the number of allies that are connected.
    • Shockwave
      • On activation, stun and damage all nearby enemies.
    • Static Discharge
      • On activation, create a lethal surge of electricity around you.
  • Tesla Storm: Minor Augments
    • Power Grid
      • Increase the range the electric tether can connect to allies.
    • Overclocked
      • Your movement speed is increased during Tesla Storm.
    • Lithium Charged
      • Increase Tesla Storm duration.

New GobbleGums

• Power Keg (Rare): Spawns a Full Power Power-up.
  • Unlocked reward as part of the GobbleGum Mania Event.
• Time Out (Ultra): Lasts three minutes. Clear all Normal and Special enemies and end the Round. Normal spawning will not resume during this time.

New Zombies Training Course

• Coming in Season 01 at Reloaded Launch, the Zombies Training Course allows you to learn the basics if you’re a new or casual player or refresh your knowledge if you’re a more seasoned player.
• Polish your favorite armament and drop into Liberty Falls where the gruff Arsenal Machine Drill Sergeant gives you tough love as you maneuver to a sequence of different “Station” flags dotted around the map. If you’re unsure how to play this game mode, visit the following stations and learn (and perform) a different aspect of the game.
  • Killing Zombies: Learn how to kill zombies and replenish resources.
  • Map Progression: Learn how to navigate the world and progress rounds.

New Limited-Time Zombies Modes

• Jingle Hells (December 17)
  • Deck the Falls with boughs of holly, as the Jingle Hells festive Limited Time Mode returns! Last seen in Black Ops Cold War, Jingle Hells drops you in what could optimistically be called a winter wonderland, as the entirety of the Liberty Falls map is festooned with wreaths, ribbons, twinkling lights, Christmas trees, garlands of fir tree bunting, and a thin blanket of snow. Although, something feels a bit off… not least the melting piles of slush stained with bloody entrails…

This year features a tighter ecosystem of weapons to choose from, particularly those only from Black Ops 6. This enables a finer look at a balanced ecosystem and allows us to be more responsive to competitive issues.

 

Global Weapon Builds

Any Global Weapon Build you create in Ranked Play can easily be used across Loadouts in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Call of Duty: Warzone – just like any other Weapon Build in Black Ops 6. Conversely, you can bring any Builds you’ve created outside Ranked Play into Ranked (restrictions permitting).

 

Rank & Skill Rating

The 1-50 Rank and Skill Division system from previous versions of Ranked Play has been streamlined to focus on what matters most in Warzone Ranked Play: Skill.

 

• In Warzone, your Rank now represents what was previously your Skill Division and Tier.
• The Progressive Rank and Victory Stars system has been removed to focus entirely on skill and simplify the experience.
• All players begin their first Competitive Season at Bronze I Rank with 0 SR (Skill Rating).

 

How SR Works:

 

• Gain SR by winning matches and eliminating players.
• For players above Silver Rank, a deployment fee is paid upfront.
• There is no SR penalty for deaths.
• Both individual and team performance impact how much SR you gain or lose per match.
• New this year: SR gained from eliminations depends on the rank difference (delta) between you and the eliminated player, as well as the number of teams remaining.

 

Rank Tiers & SR Requirements

Players progress through eight Ranks by reaching SR milestones. All Ranks (except Iridescent) have three tiers to progress through as well: Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III. Each Rank will feature a unique icon and color scheme, along with your Tier displayed in the center of the Rank icon.

Rank Tiers & SR Requirements

Seasonal SR Setback

The End-of-Season SR Setback has been adjusted to reduce the impact for players early in their Rank journey.

Seasonal SR Setback

Top 250 & Leaderboard

The Top 250 Rank returns, ranking the top players globally on an in-game Leaderboard accessible from the Ranked Play lobby.

 

• Players will qualify for the Top 250 and appear on the Leaderboard as they surpass 10,000+ SR.
• The top 250 players with the highest SR above 10,000 will remain on the board and compete for 1st place over the remainder of the Season.
• The player who ends the season as the #1 Ranked Player will receive unique rewards:
  • Exclusive, one-of-a-kind Calling Card.
  • Top 250 Champion Skin, available only to players who finish #1 in a Season.
• Additional Rank and Seasonal Rewards for achieving milestones throughout the Season.

 

Elimination Rank Delta

New this year, Eliminations now factor in the difference in skill between you and the victim. This more accurately rewards overcoming a high ranked player, and lessens the impact if the skill delta is too wide (via players being brought into a match with friends, or otherwise).

 

This skill delta reward changes depending on if they are + / – 3 ranks from your own.

Elimination Rank Detla

 

Additionally, a Maximum Elimination SR Cap is in place at 150 SR. This means you have a known target to try to achieve before the end of the match. Hit your elimination cap, win the game for the maximum yield.

Previous versions of Warzone Ranked Play had an uncapped system which led to balancing issues and unintentionally invited bad-actors to exploit this for unrealistic gains. We’ll be monitoring the effectiveness of the cap and may make additional changes here as the data comes in.

Demployment Fees

Deployment Fee By Rank

Career Rewards

Competitive Integrity Features

» Penalties & Suspensions «

 

• Players who disconnect or quit matches will face SR penalties and temporary suspensions. Repeat offenders will receive escalating penalties.

 

» SR Forgiveness «

 

Players will not lose SR under the following circumstances:

 

• A matchmade player disconnects or leaves the game midway through a match.
  • Players can still earn SR if they overcome the disadvantage. However, if they lose at a numerical disadvantage, no SR will be deducted from players outside the leaving player’s party.
• The player loses their first match of the day.
  • Each player’s first loss of the day will be forgiven, regardless of their Rank, and no SR will be deducted. This forgiveness does not stack.
• The player currently has Demotion Protection.

 

» Match Cancel « 

 

• If enough players disconnect before a match starts, the match will be canceled and will not count. Remaining players will be returned to the main menu.

 

» Demotion Protection « 

 

• After advancing to a higher Rank, players receive temporary Demotion Protection for the first three games in their new Rank. During this time, no SR will be lost.
• After the initial protection, if players lose enough SR to be demoted, they will first be dropped to the minimum threshold of their current Rank. Losing their next match will result in demotion.
• Demotion Protection also applies to a player’s first three games of each Ranked Play Season.

 

» Party Skill Restrictions « 

 

• Full parties of three can now play together in Ranked Play, regardless of individual Ranks. Skill Matchmaking will be based on the highest Rank in the party.
• Party Skill Restrictions for two- or three-player parties are as follows:
  • Bronze – Platinum: No restrictions.
  • Diamond: Can party within 2 Ranks.
  • Iridescent (including Top 250) & Crimson: Can party within 1 Rank.

 

Additional Social Features

» Hot Streaks «

 

• Win three Ranked Play games in a row within a short period to earn Victory Streak Flames. These flames will appear behind your Rank Icon in the lobby and in-game.
• Extend your win streak to enhance the flames. Victory Streak Flames expire after a loss or if you go 72 hours without playing a Ranked Play match.
• More Hot Streak levels have been added in Black Ops 6. Go on a roll to see how high you can climb and show the competition that the heat is on. Stay spicy!

 

» Social Profile «

 

• Rank Play icons will be added to your Social profile, showcasing your Ranked Play Rank wherever your profile is viewed across Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

KILLSTREAKS

New

• Bunker Buster
  • Increased Maximum damage from 237 to 300.
  • Decreased the min damage from 112 to 50.
  • When the trophy system intercepts the bunker buster it will deal slightly less damage in the area to account for the increased maximum damage.

With the adjustments to how the Trophy System will cause the Bunker Buster to detonate we wanted to make sure that it remained competitive. There is now an emphasis on being accurate with the delivery to maximize the damage. In instances where the Trophy System does not intercept, players can now expect better results for accurate hits and a significant falloff when inaccurate.

Weapon Adjustments

» Assault Rifles «

 

We want ARs to remain competitive long range options, so we are increasing the velocity of all Black Ops 6 ARs to help with engagements at range. Along with buffing some ARs damage ranges that were underperforming. We will continue to evaluate and adjust as needed.

This keeps the same number of bullets to kill but makes it so you have to hit a few more headshots to get a faster TTK.

» Light Machine Guns «

 

The goal of these ADS Speed adjustments is to bring LMG handling more in line with our intended base line values. The location modifier changes make engagements feel more consistent and less punishing if you hit a few lower torso shots mixed in with upper torso. We will continue to monitor how LMGs are fitting into engagements and adjust accordingly.
