Start the year right with the addition of Hacienda and a Lunar New Year–themed Nuketown Temple, along with new Operators like Makarov — Kingfish and Yuri — Bratok, plus Lunar New Year–themed events and a Red Envelope Confirmed MP Mode, new Battle Royale points of interest, and of course a packed Battle Pass.

Can the consequences of one mission set the stage for war? Find out in Heist, launching on January 19 at 4 PM PT. Now on to the briefing:

War Approaches in the Heist Battle Pass

Season 1 brings a brand-new Battle Pass, including free and premium items like new Operators, a new functional weapon, Weapon Blueprints, Calling Cards, Charms, COD Points (CP), and more.

Battle Pass Free Tiers

Utilize new defensive strategies with the Storm Ball tactical item unlocked at Tier 14, followed by the blazing fast PPSh-41 SMG at Tier 21. Other free items include a variety of camos, Weapon Blueprints, and the threat-tracking Heartbeat Sensor.

Premium Pass Tiers

Purchase the Battle Pass for the chance to earn all of the content available in the Heist stream. Get the crime boss himself with Makarov — Kingfish, along with Yuri — Bratok, Iskra — Whitechapel, and Ajax — Bouncer. Decimate your enemies with the highly stylized Rytec AMR — Master Plan, Man-O-War —Sterling Ace, PKM — Gilded Lion, and more. Talk about a bountiful new year.

Multiplayer Brings Hacienda, A New Nuketown, and More

Ring in the new year with the fan-favorite Hacienda multiplayer map along with Nuketown Temple, plus the new celebratory Multiplayer mode, Red Envelope Confirmed.

Hacienda

First appearing in Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4, Hacienda takes Operators to the estate of a crime lord set in the Spanish countryside. Battle through a lavish vineyard, the boathouse, the arsenal, and for risk-takers, the highly contested central courtyard.

Nuketown Temple

Arriving later in the season, experience Nuketown like never before with a new setting celebrating the Lunar New Year. The usually isolated site is now in the middle of the city, with new architecture, props, and the same chaotic pace that the map is known and loved for.

New Themed Multiplayer Mode — Red Envelope Confirmed

Launching at the end of the month, battle it out in 10v10 Kill Confirmed themed for the Lunar Year of the Tiger. Collect red envelopes in place of dog tags and watch the fireworks in celebration of a new beginning. Collect enough envelopes to earn additional rewards like credits and cosmetics.

Battle Royale Map Update — New POIs

Experience new Battle Royale content across both Isolated and Blackout. Each map will feature Lunar New Year cosmetics and decorations, as well as some specific changes to each.

In Isolated, show off your snowboarding chops in a new mini-game set in the updated Ski zone. In Blackout, snow has fallen near the Hydro Dam and a new aerial platform has arrived; shoot down hot air balloons and witness other winter spectacles like the giant holographic Urban Tracker.

New Events: Winter Wish and the Lunar New Year Puzzle

In the Winter Wish event, choose your favorite rewards from a pool of items; then complete missions to acquire tokens to spend on unlocking those items. Get up to one Epic, three Rare, and three Uncommon items.

For the Lunar New Year Puzzle, earn tokens for completing different tasks, slowly revealing the puzzle over time and earning rewards in the process.

New Seasonal Challenges

New Seasonal Challenges offer an array of tasks to complete in exchange for major rewards like new Weapon Blueprints, Weapon XP, and an assortment of cosmetic items to start the new year off strong.

Kick off the season with various Battle Royale tasks such as Survival Instincts, which upon completion unlocks the Scout 2 — Escape Plan Operator Skin. At the end of the month, move onto multiplayer challenges like Kilo 141: Locked & Loaded, rewarding the new Kilo 141 Assault Rifle on completion!

New Draws and a Mythic Drop

Season 1 Draws brings some truly incredible Legendary Weapon Blueprints, not to mention a brand-new Mythic-Tier weapon, the Kilo 141 — Demonsong, based on the new Kilo 141 Assault Rifle launching with the season.

Other coveted Blueprint items include the fire-spewing Legendary PPSh-41 — Emberwing, the steampunk-inspired AS VAL — Steel Fusion, and the skeletal QXR — Fossil Fire. Also get Epic Operators like Dame — Shot Caller, Ether — Getaway Driver, Cassius — Nightcrawler, and a new high-tech Urban Tracker.

Get in, secure the intel, and escape undetected when Heist launches on January 19 at 4 PM PT.
