Season 1 Reloaded arrives in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone this week, and Activision has revealed all the details for this midseason update. Season 1 Reloaded includes more weapons to unlock, additional maps for multiplayer, and a crossover with the Fallout TV show.
Call of Duty Season 1 Reloaded start times
The Season 1 Reloaded update arrives to Black Ops 7 and Warzone on January 8. Call of Duty’s updates usually go live at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST across all platforms.
Season 1 Reloaded’s Fallout collab
This event will feature operator skins for Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul from Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout TV show, plus two additional vault dweller skins. This Fallout event will include free and paid event passes for players to earn themed rewards.
The Ghoul and Maximus are available to unlock in the paid event pass, while the vault dweller skins are earned in the free pass. Lucy’s operator skin is available as a shop bundle, and Call of Duty’s operator bundles are typically around $20 each.
The season is packed with limited-time modes themed around Fallout, and these can be enjoyed across multiplayer, Zombies, Warzone, and even Endgame. Nuketown also gets a Fallout-themed map variant.
Two new weapons
Hawker HX sniper rifle
The update adds the Hawker HX sniper rifle and the Sturmwolf 45 submachine gun as two new weapons players can unlock for free.
The Hawker HX is a renamed version of the popular Ballista sniper rifle from Black Ops 2. It’s a bolt-action sniper with fast handling and mobility. The Sturmwolf 45 is a renamed variant of Call of Duty’s popular UMP45. This is a full-auto submachine gun, and Activision describes it as being “highly accurate and easy to use.”
BO6 loadout equipment and scorestreaks
Season 1 Reloaded will add plenty of loadout items from Black Ops 6. This equipment includes the Shock Charge, Impact grenade, Thermal grenade, and Tactical Insertion field upgrade.
Several Black Ops 6 scorestreaks are also included:
- Archangel Launcher
- Combat Bow
- Death Machine
- Dreadnought
- Grim Reaper
- SAM Turret
- Strategic Bomber
- War Machine
More multiplayer maps and modes
The midseason update adds three more maps into the rotation: Yakei, Meltdown, Fringe.
Yakei is a brand-new small map for 6v6 and 2v2 modes, and the setting takes place on the rooftops of a neon-lit Japanese city. Meltdown and Fringe return from past Black Ops games.
Treyarch is introducing a brand-new mode called Takeover. This mode sounds like a mashup of Domination and Hardpoint, as two teams of six fight over three neutral territories, earning a point for each zone they control. When all three of the zones are captured, there’s a brief cooldown before all three territories move to a new set of locations within the map. The team with the highest score at the end wins the game.
For the Fallout event, there are two limited-time modes. The Ghouls is a Fallout-themed spin on Call of Duty’s Infected mode, and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Mayhem is a 6v6 moshpit playlist with irradiated maps and special Fallout-inspired power ups.
Zombies
The Zarya Cosmodrome location from Ashes of the Damned becomes a Survival map. The season’s new Astra Malorum map also gets the Directed mode, which will allow players to have assistance with completing its main story quest.
For the Fallout event, Project RADs is a new mode that adds radiation damage and Deathclaw enemies to fight.
Endgame
The update also includes new content for the game’s Endgame campaign mode. There are two new world events confirmed. Activision has confirmed the Wraith Wing world event, which adds a powerful VTOL Guild aircraft for players to take down. The second event is themed around Fallout with a Deathclaw Hunt in an irritated part of Avalon.
Warzone
Season 1 Reloaded brings two limited-time events to battle royale on Verdansk.
High Octane is a brand-new mode, and it features 150 players in quads. This gives players access to their custom loadouts at the start of the match. As the name suggests, this is designed as a fast-paced version of battle royale, with faster circle collapse, more cash to spend, high-end loot, and even the grapple hook from Black Ops 7 for faster movement.
Power Armor Royale is a Fallout-themed spin on battle royale. This features 66 players in trios, and power armor can be obtained from air drops. Just like Fallout, players will need charged Fusion Cores to use the armored suits.
