Season 2 Reloaded is bringing six new weapons to Call Of Duty, making it one of the biggest mid-season updates in recent memory. From TMNT-inspired melee weapons to a new projectile launcher, this update is packed with fresh content for multiplayer, Warzone, and Zombies. Here’s a full breakdown of what’s coming, how to unlock each weapon, and what these additions mean for the game’s meta.

Season 2 Reloaded Release Date & Update Details

The Season 2 Reloaded update is set to launch on February 20 at 9:00 AM PST. Based on Call of Duty’s usual marketing schedule, we can expect:

  • A teaser reveal a week before launch, similar to how TMNT content was teased.
  • A full roadmap and blog post on the Monday before launch, detailing all the weapons, maps, and game modes.
  • Early download availability on Battle.net, giving us a first look at the update’s file size.

For PlayStation users, PlayStation Game Size will likely reveal the update’s size a few days before launch.

TMNT Melee Weapons – What’s Coming and How to Unlock Them

One of the most exciting additions is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover, bringing four new melee weapons based on each turtle’s fighting style. These weapons have already been spotted in promotional artwork and are nearly confirmed for the update:

  • Dual Katanas (Leonardo) – Seen in the Battle Pass Tier 100 artwork.
  • Dual Sai (Raphael) – Expected to be a dual-wield melee weapon.
  • Dual Nunchucks (Michelangelo) – This could be the first dual-wield nunchucks in Call of Duty history.
  • Bo Staff (Donatello) – A single melee weapon optimized for quick strikes.

According to DETONATED on X, we should be expecting this weapons

Skateboard Melee Weapon – Limited-Time Only?

A skateboard melee weapon has been discovered in game files, leading to speculation about whether it will be a permanent addition or limited to an LTM mode.

Since the new Grind map is launching with an LTM mode, the skateboard could be part of that experience. There are two possibilities:

  • It becomes a fully playable melee weapon, similar to past novelty melee weapons.
  • It’s only available in a specific game mode or finishing move, rather than as a standard weapon.

Since other melee weapons like spears are currently tied to finishing moves rather than the full arsenal, there’s a chance the skateboard might follow suit.

New Special Launcher – Ballistic Knife, Nail Gun, or Something Else?

One of the most anticipated additions in this update is a new projectile weapon. Official teasers from Call of Duty describe it as a “roaring projectile armament”, hinting that it could fall under either the special or launcher category.

Possible Candidates for the New Weapon

  • Ballistic Knife – A Black Ops staple, this weapon fires explosive blades and has appeared in nearly every Black Ops game.
  • Nail Gun – A high-damage projectile weapon that has been a fan-favorite in past games.
  • D13 Sector – A disc launcher from Black Ops 3 that bounced off walls, eliminating enemies in its path.

According to leaker HeyImALEX, the new weapon is called the Blade Launcher, making the Ballistic Knife the most likely choice. This would fit with Call of Duty’s history of introducing the Ballistic Knife later in the season rather than at launch.

Could the D13 Sector Be Too Overpowered for Warzone?

If Call of Duty decides to bring back the D13 Sector, balancing will be a major concern. In Black Ops 3, this weapon fired a razor-sharp disc that could bounce off walls for five seconds, making it deadly in tight spaces.

In Warzone, a weapon like this could:

  • Be too strong if it retains its original bouncing mechanic.
  • Becomes frustrating to play against, especially in close-quarters buildings.
  • This leads to meta-shifts if not properly balanced.

To prevent this weapon from dominating, developers could:

  • Limit the number of bounces before the projectile disappears.
  • Reduce its damage in Warzone while keeping it powerful in multiplayer.
  • Adjust ammo capacity to prevent spam.

A version of this weapon already exists in World War II Zombies under the name RipSaw, where it was classified as a Wonder Weapon due to its high power. If it makes its way into Black Ops 6, expect significant nerfs to keep it balanced.

What This Means for the Call of Duty Meta

With six new weapons dropping in one update, Season 2 Reloaded could shift the Call of Duty meta in a big way.

Multiplayer Impacts

  • Melee builds will become more viable with four new melee options.
  • If the skateboard melee weapon is permanent, expect a surge in close-combat playstyles.
  • The Blade Launcher could introduce a new strategy, depending on whether it’s a one-shot kill weapon or a slower projectile launcher.

Warzone Impacts

  • If the D13 Sector is added, small circle fights could get chaotic, especially if bouncing projectiles are involved.
  • The Ballistic Knife would be a solid stealth option, particularly in Resurgence modes.
  • Melee buffs could encourage more aggressive playstyles, particularly in smaller maps.
