Exciting times for Black Ops 6 fans as season five approaches, just ahead of the highly anticipated Call of Duty release this fall. With fresh weapons, new maps, and engaging gameplay modes on the horizon, there’s plenty to look forward to. It’s the perfect opportunity to gather your friends and enjoy some action-packed matches as summer heat intensifies.
Let’s dive into what season five of BO6 has to offer, likely making it the second-to-last season.
What Are the Major Patch Notes for Season 5 of BO6?
Before the spotlight shifts to Black Ops 7 with its reveal and beta later this August, players can expect BO6’s season five update on August 7. This season wraps up the Zombies storyline while also introducing a host of new content for multiplayer enthusiasts.
What Are the New Multiplayer Maps and Modes?

Three new maps will launch with season five: the medium-sized Runway, the smaller Exchange, and the remade classic W.M.D. from Black Ops 1. Additionally, the medium-sized map Jackpot will be introduced later in the season.
Fans will also be able to enjoy innovative game modes like Aim High, Snipers Only, and Cranked Demolition, which will invigorate gameplay. Returning favorites include Cranked Moshpit and Ransack.
What New Weapons Are Coming in Season 5?

Season five introduces three weapons right at launch: the PML 5.56 light machine gun, the ABR A1 assault rifle, and Boxing Gloves as a melee weapon. Later in the season, players can get their hands on the Gravemark .357 Revolver pistol, along with new weapon attachments for various enhancements.
What’s The New Scorestreak?
Returning at mid-season is the Combat Bow—a lethal Scorestreak that lets players shoot explosive-tipped arrows at enemies, causing devastating damage. Here are the details:
- Type: Lethal
- Score: 500
What Changes Are Being Made to Existing Weapons?
If you’ve grown weary of the same weapon setups, you’re in luck! Season five will feature various buffs and nerfs to existing guns, aiming to shake up the current meta. Check back on patch day for full details on these changes.
What Can Players Expect in the New Zombies Map?

Finally, the Zombies saga in BO6 culminates with the release of the final map, Reckoning, available to play on August 7 at 11 am CT. Set within Project Janus Headquarters, this map introduces the new Elite enemy, Uber Klaus, and a unique Wonder Weapon known as Gorgofex, capable of firing Aether-based energy slugs.
Alongside the main quest, expect special rewards and new gameplay mechanics, including Grief mode and Directed Mode arriving mid-season with the introduction of the new Mister Peeks Field Upgrade.
