Tomorrow, on the 17th of June, Treyarch will be launching Season 4 across both Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. The new season offers a huge amount of new content, a disproportionate amount of which will be available at launch, rather than mid-season.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 4
As with every new season in Call of Duty, Season 4 is absolutely packed with new maps, weapons, and more. This season, the game is heading to Algeria for the next chapter of its story, as Adler’s team clashes with Perseus-aligned mercenary Jackal. (The first of three new Operators coming in Season 4, available at Tier 0 of the season Battle Pass.)
No less than five new weapons are coming in the new season. Just like in Season 3, three of these will be available at launch, rather than two. The MG 82 machine gun and C58 assault rifle will be available as the unlock rewards at Tiers 15 and 31 of the Battle Pass, respectively. The Nail Gun, meanwhile, will be unlockable by completing an in-game challenge. (Or by purchasing a new store bundle, to get a Nail Gun Blueprint.) Later in the season, players can look forward to the OTs 9 submachine gun and the Mace.
Season 4 is bringing four new maps to Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer. Collateral (12v12 plus “Collateral Strike” 6v6 variant), Amsterdam (2v2 & 3v3), and Hijacked (6v6) will be available to play at launch. Rush (6v6) will come later in the season. The only new game mode will be ‘Multi-Team: Sat-Link’. However, both ‘One in the Chamber’ and ‘Capture the Flag’ are making a return.
Foremost amongst its new content, the game’s Zombies mode is getting a new region for Outbreak. This undead-infested zoo will serve as the prologue for the next full Zombies map, “Mauer der Toten,” which is coming later in the season. Warzone, meanwhile, is getting the huge Ground Fall limited-time event, as satellites crash down across Verdansk. New Crash Sites and mysterious Red Doors will appear all over the map. During the event, players must find and secure SAT-Links to unlock exclusive rewards.
