The wait is almost over for fans of Call of Duty!

Season 3 of Black Ops 6 is launching a day earlier than expected, with Activision announcing the big update for Multiplayer and Zombies arriving on April 2, while Warzone will get its update the following day. This season promises exciting new content, including the highly anticipated return of the iconic Firing Range map and the fresh Shattered Veil Zombies map. Plus, fan-favorite characters Jay and Silent Bob are making their debut as operators, adding a unique twist that fans didn’t see coming!

What's New in Season 3:

The roadmap reveals an abundance of new multiplayer features alongside the Zombies updates. Expect a fresh battle pass packed with rewards. Among the highlights, players can look forward to various new multiplayer maps—both classic and original—ensuring robust gameplay for everyone.

In Zombies mode, the Shattered Veil map will introduce players to a captivating storyline. Here, the Zombies crew ventures to Richtofen's Liberty Falls mansion, now overrun by waves of the undead. The main story quest will launch immediately, rewarding players with unique prizes including the exclusive “PhDeadly” operator skin for Carver, an animated Calling Card, and 5,000 XP. Those who complete the main quest before the arrival of Directed Mode will also unlock a special calling card variant.

New Mechanics and Features:

Season 3 is set to bring back beloved game modes! Sharpshooter and Demolition are making their triumphant return to provide a nostalgic experience for veteran players. In addition, a brand-new limited-time mode dubbed Joint Operations will be introduced, likely coinciding with the 4/20 celebration. It features a wild mix of five different game modes with quirky effects such as double health, low gravity, and surreal visual hallucinations!

Among the various perks being introduced, the “Close Shave” perk allows players to unleash powerful melee attacks when performing weapon butt attacks, harkening back to Call of Duty's classic gameplay. Meanwhile, the new "Vendetta" perk enables players to mark their killer’s last known position and earns bonus points for taking them down.

The infamous Death Machine scorestreak returns by popular demand. Players will need to earn a score of 825 in-game to unleash this powerful weapon.

Competitive Edge and Rejoining:

For those who thrive in competitive settings, this season offers exciting new Ranked Play rewards, including a weapon blueprint and special calling cards. There’s also a convenient new rejoin feature for Ranked Play matches, giving players five minutes to reconnect if they’re booted from a game, thus minimizing the penalty for teammates if they successfully rejoin.

In Summation:

With new multiplayer maps, a unique Zombies experience, nostalgic weapons, and the hilarious cameo of Jay and Silent Bob, Season 3 of Black Ops 6 promises to elevate the gameplay experience. Prepare for an assortment of surprises and challenges as the countdown begins to this monumental update! Don’t miss out—mark your calendars for April 2nd!
