Global content: Gravemark .357 and Nuketown event

Across all modes, Call of Duty Season 5 Reloaded players now have access to the brand-new Gravemark .357 revolver, a powerful single-action sidearm with high damage output. This weapon can be unlocked through the Operation: Hell Ride event, which includes timed challenges rather than simple XP grinds, giving it more gameplay value.

Also included in the update is a new special attachment for the PPSh-41 called the Helical Magazine. This adds more ammo but slows your fire rate due to overheating. For players who log in between September 4 and October 1, there are five 1-hour 2XP tokens for Player, Weapon, and Battle Pass XP. Even better, logging in before September 16 gets you 20 free Battle Pass Tier Skips, a reward valued by the community.

The Nuketown Block Party event is another exciting addition. This celebration of the chaotic Nuketown maps will run in multiplayer, zombies, and Warzone. Players can earn themed skins, calling cards, operator mannequins, and even the returning Combat Bow.

Multiplayer: Jackpot map and new modes shake things up

Black Ops 6 multiplayer Call of Duty Season 5 Reloaded sees a fresh addition in the form of the Jackpot map. This 6v6 map is medium-sized and set inside a casino from the campaign. The glass roof allows scorestreaks like the Combat Bow to be used effectively indoors.

Several new game modes are now available:

Cranked Demolition: A fusion of Cranked and Demolition modes where players rush to plant/defuse bombs while under a speed-timer boost.
Ransack: Teams collect gold bars and deposit them to earn score. Loot from the map and defeated enemies.
Blueprint Gunfight: Gunfight mode where players use randomized blueprints of weapons, usually featured in store bundles.

Zombies: Directed Mode and Team Cranked return

This mode includes Call of Duty Season 5 Reloaded a 15-round limit, new enemies such as Uber Klaus, and access to fresh weapons like the Gorgofex Wonder Weapon and C.A.S.T.E.R. turret trap. Completing the directed mission rewards players with a unique calling card, charm, and XP.

The Team Cranked mode also returns. This variation boosts the entire team’s Movement speed and includes the Time Stopper FG, GobbleGums, and essence rewards after round 30.

Warzone: New Deadline mode and limited time features

For Warzone, Call of Duty Season 5 Reloaded introduces the new Deadline LTM. This 100-player Quads mode includes both human and AI opponents. Players earn points through kills, contracts, looting, and spending cash. The unique part is that each circle collapse triggers a leaderboard cutoff. Fall below the threshold and you’re out.

Competitive Call of Duty Season 5 Reloaded Warzone events like C.O.D.E. Bowl VI on September 30 and the World Series of Warzone Global Final on October 1 will also serve as lead-ins to the Black Ops 7 Beta.
