Season 1 Reloaded arrives in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone this week, and Activision has already revealed many 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
Call of Duty has teased a crossover with Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout TV show, which seemingly includes operator skins for Lucy, The Ghoul, and Maximus. Call of Duty’s big IP collaborations are also usually paired with in-game events for players to participate in. However, it’s uncertain if these Fallout skins will be included in an event pass or as shop bundles for purchase. Notably, both Fallout and Call of Duty are owned by Microsoft.
Two new weapons
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 the 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
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.
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.
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 still unknown, but the publisher teases it will “test players’ skills.”
Warzone
Activision has teased a mystery for Warzone players in Season 1 Reloaded. The publisher vaguely revealed that anomalies would start appearing periodically throughout certain locations. The announcement doesn’t specify a specific map, so it’s unclear if these anomalies will appear on one map or across all three.
Call of Duty’s midseason updates usually include new events, challenges, bug fixes, and weapon balancing across all modes.
