As Black Ops 6 slowly becomes a part of gaming history, it’s set to be remembered as one of the standout Zombies experiences in the Call of Duty franchise. But before it slips into nostalgia, there’s one final adventure awaiting gamers.
Here’s an inside look at what to expect from the last map: “Reckoning”, along with all that’s happening in BO6 Zombies during Season 5.
1. Details on the New Map: Reckoning
Gear up for an exhilarating showdown at Janus Towers in BO6 Zombies’ climactic map, Reckoning. As the heroes unite once again, they face chaos while continuing the gripping CoD Dark Aether narrative.
According to Activision, “The towers’ systems appear to be critically damaged, and total failure is imminent. Stabilizing the Aether Reactors is the initial overriding goal, before even greater threats emerge.”
Mark your calendars: the main quest for Reckoning launches on August 7 at 11 am CT.
2. Introducing the New Wonder Weapon: Gorgofex
Prepare to wield Reckoning’s new Wonder Weapon, the Gorgofex. This impressive hand cannon boasts unique powers.
Activision describes it as, “Combining fungal, floral, and insectile traits, this weapon delivers impactful damage and creates gravity-defying disruptions in tight spaces. Glowing membranes provide hints of motion, and it pulses with a heart-like organ that pushes energy through the weapon, infused with faint psychic vibrations.”
Firing the Gorgofex generates an area-of-effect damage field that radiates outward, ensuring you hit multiple foes with each shot.
3. Encounter the New Elite Enemy: Uber Klaus
The formidable robot Klaus has transformed into Uber Klaus, equipped with a robust mech suit as the map’s elite enemy, adding a challenging twist to your gameplay.
Activision reveals, “Project Janus’ secret Research and Development program has far exceeded our expectations, producing more robots than believed. At the forefront is Uber Klaus – a ruthless automaton encased in a formidable exoskeleton, showcasing lethal capabilities and a cocky demeanor.”
4. Meet the New Field Upgrade: Mister Peeks
Introducing everyone’s adored plush bunny turned weapon: Mister Peeks. This throwable Field Upgrade becomes available through an in-season event, creating chaos for your enemies.
Mister Peeks “gleefully attracts normal and Special enemies, attacking any undead enemies he encounters, ultimately exploding in bright confetti.” This huggable chaos comes with several unique augments:
- Major Augments:
- Dance Party: Attracts nearby zombies and detonates an Aether Pulse.
- Arcane Fury: Enhances damage with a random Ammo Mod.
- Apex Hunter: Targets the strongest nearby enemy with increased damage.
- Minor Augments:
- Social Butterfly: Expands attraction radius.
- Peeks’ Favor: Grants a free box spin near Mystery Box locations.
- Party Animal: Extends Mister Peeks’ active duration.
5. Explore New Weapons in Season 5
Season 5 adds four new weapons to BO6: the PML 5.56 LMG, the ABR A1 assault rifle, Boxing Gloves melee weapon, and the mid-season Gravemark .357 Revolver, each coming with unique camo challenges.
6. Upcoming Features: Grief and Directed Mode
Activision has confirmed that Grief and Directed Mode are set to arrive later in Season 5, giving players even more ways to enjoy Reckoning.
