What's New in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer?

Season 1 brings a plethora of new content to *Black Ops 6

multiplayer, including six brand new maps:

Available at launch:

Hideout (6v6): A fresh map designed for intense 6v6 battles.

Extraction (6v6): Another brand new map, offering a unique 6v6 combat experience.

Hacienda (6v6): A remake of a classic map, updated for the current generation.

Nuketown Holiday (6v6): A festive reskin of the beloved Nuketown map, offering a seasonal twist.

Other multiplayer additions include the Hand Cannon Scorestreak, Shadow Perk, High Roller Wildcard, and three new modes: Ransack, Prop Hunt, and Multiplayer Ranked.

Black Ops 6 Zombies: Dive into New Depths

The biggest change to the *Black Ops 6

Zombies mode is the introduction of Directed Mode. This mode provides a more structured experience, guiding players through the Main Quest objectives on the Liberty Falls and Terminus maps. With rounds capped at 15, Directed Mode offers a more focused approach to the Zombies experience.

A third Zombies map, *Avalon: Citadelle des Morts*, will arrive mid-season, expanding the narrative established on Terminus. This map, set in a distinct environment, is sure to provide a fresh challenge for Zombies enthusiasts.

Numerous other updates to Zombies include new Augments, Ammo Mods, enemies, weapons, and more.

Warzone: A New Era Dawns

Season 1 marks a significant shift for *Warzone*, bringing a complete integration with *Black Ops 6*. This means the Omnimovement system, which allows players to sprint and dive in any direction, will make its way to both Battle Royale and Resurgence.

The loot system has undergone a complete overhaul, and *Black Ops 6

weapons will be added to the game, potentially shaping the meta.

A new map, Area 99, will be the focal point of Season 1. This desert map, thematically linked to Nuketown, features a unique layout with factories, housing pods, and a variety of other locations. Its small size fosters intense and hectic combat, promising an adrenaline-fueled experience.

Ranked Play will also make its triumphant return to *Warzone*, starting with Battle Royale and the main map.

Unified Experience Across Titles

Season 1 sees the introduction of a unified UI, streamlining the experience across both games. A combined Battle Pass will also launch, featuring a streamlined system that abandons the previous "map" format.

New weapons are the highlight of any new season, and Season 1 delivers:

Available at launch:

Krig C Assault Rifle: A full-auto AR with decent handling and damage, unlocked in the Battle Pass.

Saug SMG: A full-auto SMG boasting excellent mobility, handling, and rate of fire, but with high recoil. Available through the Battle Pass.

Mid-Season:

Maelstrom Shotgun: A full-auto shotgun with good range and handling, but high recoil and hip spread. Unlocked as an event reward.

AMR Mod 4 Sniper Rifle: A semi-auto rifle with high recoil, high damage, and a slow rate of fire. Unlocked as an event reward.

Power Drill: A melee weapon capable of two-hit kills at short range. Unlocked as a special event reward.
