In a surprising twist, Activision dropped the marketing for Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded on a Thursday, and the actual mid-season update is set to go live on Wednesday, July 2nd. The update is packed with fresh content across multiplayer, Zombies, Warzone, and more, providing fans with a ton of exciting reasons to log back in. Here's everything we know so far Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies.



New Multiplayer Maps and Modes



Season 4 Reloaded introduces two key maps: Eclipse and Fringe. Eclipse is a brand-new strike map supporting both 6v6 and 2v2 gameplay, bringing stylish club-like aesthetics reminiscent of Black Ops Cold War's Zombies DLC. Fringe, however, is an iconic Black Ops 3 map getting a reimagining for boots-on-the-ground gameplay. This marks the first time a jetpack-era map is adapted for a grounded experience, though no movement mechanics like wall-running or jetpacks are being added—yet.



In addition, cell-shaded map variants are coming to Nuketown, Skyline, Stakeout, Grind, and Babylon. These are tied to the Beavis and Butt-Head crossover, forming part of the "COD Tunes" playlist, a cartoon-themed rotation complete with vibrant visuals.



Also launching is "Party Ops," a free-for-all party mode where players race to complete a randomized set of mini-games within a limited timeframe. These include classics and quirky challenges like dance-offs and musical zones. Top performers will win the round, and it plays across several maps with an emphasis on variety and fast thinking.



Zombies: New LTMs, Challenges & Grief Updates



Zombies is receiving major love this season. The Grief mode returns with a vengeance, featuring gameplay tweaks like:



More punishing grief effects against enemy players.

Bans on certain revive-related Gobblegums.

Faster zombie spawns after capture zone completions.

Whimsical Gobblegum rewards.



The highlight, however, is the Abomination Challenge, tied directly to the Beavis and Butt-Head collab. Set in a cell-shaded version of Liberty Falls, players must summon and defeat an overpowered HVT named Mo. The twist? Mo becomes immune to weapons repeatedly used on him, making strategy and variety essential.



The challenge is not for the faint-hearted:



Wonder Weapons are available but limited.

X-Fill is disabled until Mo is defeated.

Players face waves of enemies including doppelgangers, mimics, and toxic zombies.

Flow State is enabled for those who slay quickly.



Beat it and you earn 15,000 XP, a unique calling card, and a hidden reward.



Also included is the Starting Room LTM, similar to No Man's Land from the Moon map. It restricts movement to the first area of a Zombies map, forcing players to hold out as long as possible with minimal resources. Fire Sales are replaced by random perk power-ups. First-time round milestones will net players Gobblegums and XP.



There's also a new leaderboard event called King of the Dead, where eliminations in Zombies earn players leaderboard points. Elite enemies yield more, and rewards scale based on your leaderboard ranking. A secondary event, Master of Grief, tracks points specifically earned in Grief mode.



Warzone: Fresh Features, LTMs, and Returning Playlists

Warzone isn't left out of the fun. New content includes:



Care Package Killstreak

Door Barricade Gadget

Hand Cannon Killstreak

Search and Destroy Contract with Fire Sale rewards

Loot Master Perk, which increases loot found in caches



Rebirth Island returns in cell-shaded form, aligning with the cartoon crossover theme. A new LTM, Havoc Royale, brings chaos with 15-minute matches set on Verdansk or Rebirth with various gameplay modifiers:



Examples include:



Cranked: Movement and combat speed boost.

Melon Head: Operators have watermelon heads.

Ammo Surge: Ammo spawns in abundance.

Showdown Finale: Everyone uses the same loadout.

Rising Gas Finale: Vertical gas storm and redeploy drones make for chaotic endings.



Casual BR Solos also return, featuring a mix of real players and bots. Interestingly, these casual solos have seen three times the engagement compared to traditional solos, suggesting they might become permanent.



Resurgence Ranked Play also gets a refresh with a new set of rewards, and casual Resurgence remains active but will not count towards your ranked stats.



New Weapons & Conversion Kits



Two new weapons headline the armory additions:



Olympia Shotgun, unlockable via the Beavis and Butt-Head event pass

Pickaxe Melee Weapon, also tied to the event pass

Full-auto conversion kits for the SVD and TR2 are being introduced as well, the latter appearing in the COD Tunes event.

These kits allow greater loadout flexibility and will likely become favorites in both multiplayer and Warzone.Beavis and Butt-Head Crossover & Event Pass



The crossover brings the animated duo into Call of Duty in full force. The event pass is XP-based with two tracks:



Free Track includes Todd and Coach Buzzcut operator skins and the Olympia.

Premium Track includes additional cosmetics, the Ultimate Butt-Head skin, and more surprise content.

The visual presentation is strong, especially with the cell-shaded maps and operators. The partnership adds much-needed levity and variety to the season, similar to COD's past crossovers with major entertainment franchises.



Other Content and Store Offerings



Store bundles include:



Chaser Pack: Beavis and Butt-Head

Street Jockey Mastercraft Pack

Off-World Sovereign Reactive Ultra Skin



These are expected to rotate throughout the season, with additional bundles teased but not fully revealed yet.
