“It’s all about influence and control” – Sevati “Sev” Dumas
A main player in the Rogue Team after the conclusion of the Campaign, Sev is ready to make a deal with the untrustworthy French Syndicate and is gearing up to take down the rival Luttazzi family to prove it. Sporting two different Skins depending on the infiltration mission at hand, Sev is more than ready to lead the charge.

“I’m your daddy now.” – The Replacer.
There’s no substitute for greatness. Last seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode, and first appearing in Black Ops 2, The Replacer has concluded his whirlwind Black Ops 6 takeover tour and has freed up some time to appear in-game, and available as a Store Bundle shortly after Launch.
Two new Operators arrive just in time for the 2025 Call of Duty®: League™ season, and both are available (along with a host of other content including a Weapon Camo) in the Call of Duty: League Store Bundle. The first available Bundle includes the “2025 CDL Home” “Competitor” Operator (Rogue Black Ops), and the “2025 CDL Away” “Competitor” Operator (Crimson One).
Weapons
While its exact nature is shrouded in mystery, it appears that four powerful elemental Wonder Weapons may be forged from a claymore known as the Bastard Sword through unknown means.
Full-auto assault rifle. High damage and average handling. Recoil pattern starts very controllable before ramping up.
For a hard-hitting, versatile Assault Rifle that performs well across multiple ranges, look no further than the Krig C. The weapon inflicts moderate damage across the whole body with a four-shot elimination within its effective range, three when accounting for headshots. Recoil control becomes shakier through sustained fire, so burst fire to retain accuracy or consider attachments offering improved control to help counter the ramped-up movement.

Fully automatic submachine gun. Excellent mobility and good handling. Great rate of fire. High recoil.
Pepper your enemies with a hailstorm of lead using this rapid-fire SMG that’s perfect for breaching and clearing small spaces. The Saug kicks up like a horse when fired down sights; pull down when aiming to counter the recoil or better yet improve the weapon’s already great hip-fire capabilities with the appropriate attachments, including the Tactical Laser for a killer combo of mobility and accuracy via Tactical Stance. Or go all out on hip-fire with the Akimbo Saug Stock for unmatched SMG firepower.

Fully automatic shotgun. Good range and handling. High recoil and large hip spread.
What this weapon lacks in power compared to the other Shotguns, it makes up for with its rapid-fire full-auto capabilities. Its heavy recoil and large hip spread require getting up close to the enemy, but within its effective range it’s devastating. Consider equipping the Overkill Wildcard to pair this shotgun with a mid-ranged weapon for greater versatility. When moving into tight spaces, swap to the full-auto Shotgun and let loose.

Semi-auto sniper rifle. One-shot kill to torso, arms, hands, and upper legs. Very high recoil and slow rate of fire. You can steady your aim while ADSing.
The hardest hitting weapon in its class, this sniper rifle rewards patience with a huge one-shot elimination range across the upper body. It’s slow to aim and it kicks hard, but when the shot connects, say goodbye to the enemy. Inflicting major damage out to 100 meters, its selection of closer ranged optics also offers the possibility of fighting in the vanguard, a veritable frontline cannon.

Fully automatic specialty weapon. Offers SMG characteristics as a secondary weapon. Slow rate of fire.
Take your Secondary Weapon game to the next level with this foldable Secondary Weapon offering full-auto fire with a slow and steady fire rate to help you stay on target up to the mid-range. Its base configuration offers 32 rounds to keep you in the fight during sustained combat, with an Extended Mag option that pushes that number to 40. The weapon has a moderate kick after each shot fired, but several of its attachments offer improved recoil control to help counter the movement.

Two-hit kill. Very short range. Very fast attack speed.
There’s no better tool for the job than the Power Drill, offering a rapid attack speed for quick follow-up hits to get the job done. Including a mix of sweeps, jabs, uppercuts, and a heavy attack that drills straight on, this weapon is ideal for putting a hole in the competition when the going gets tough.

Add some heat to your Shotgun blasts with incendiary rounds comprised of magnesium sparks that stick to and burn enemies over time. Equipping the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath Fire Mod prevents using Barrel Attachments, but the tradeoff is well worth it when seeking a fiery finish.
The heavier Buffer Weight Stock provides significantly smoother action through the additional resistance met by the bolt carrier group. The improvement results in more manageable recoil through sustained fire, ideal for staying on target.
Convert the XM4 Assault Rifle’s primary firing mode into a three-round burst to help conserve ammo and stay on target. There’s little downtime between bursts, so it’s still possible to pump out consistent damage when facing heavy threats.
Convert the Kompakt 92 SMG’s primary firing mode into a three-round burst. Equipping the Burst Fire Conversion Fire Mod locks the Underbarrel and Barrel Attachment slots. When you need to fire quickly in close quarters, hold down the trigger to automatically cycle through burst shots.
Undetectable to enemy traps and mines.
Dealing explosive damage to enemies will reveal them on your minimap. Explosive damage is from your area-of-effect Lethals and Field Upgrades.
When equipped, this allows the player to have a fourth Scorestreak to earn towards during Core 6v6 Multiplayer matches.
Powerful .50 caliber handgun with high bullet damage and penetration. This mid-level Scorestreak, last seen in Black Ops Cold War, allows players to equip a massively powerful handgun for a finite amount of time. Though it has a slow rate of fire and limited ammunition, it makes up for this with good handling, improved hip fire accuracy with faster hip-fire shooting speed, and the biggest bonus of all; high-penetration shots that one-shot enemies.
Maps
Good cheer arrives as Nuketown dresses up for the holidays. Get into snowball fights and gawk at the festive decorations lining every surface. On Nuketown Holiday, you can almost forget that you’re in the middle of a battle… albeit one where Operators exchange grenades instead of presents. Good luck out there.
The lush vineyard estate returns under new ownership as Operators descend on the mansion and its immaculate grounds. Fire down on enemies from the gallery and swim past their front line along the terrace. Marvel at the wealth on display in the showroom, the in-office aquarium, and the elegant fountain at the map’s center. Using the new Omnimovement system, Hacienda becomes a whole new experience ripe with tactical opportunities.
The French Syndicate continues with their plans to topple the Luttazzi crime family by hitting them directly in their finances. Battle within the labyrinthine bank vault, dashing in and out of the vault cells to flank enemies in the halls. This new three-lane map requires quick thinking to survive its tight confines, so don’t let all that gold distract you from the mission at hand.
Sharpen your combat skills in this mid-sized Multiplayer map featuring an extensive training site including target practice, an obstacle course, and a life-like recreation of a vault and security room. Master Omnimovement in the training area and bus depot or climb up to the center bridge to cover both locations from a powerful vantage point.
The burning rubble of a downed helicopter and a dead pilot signal an attack on the Avalon Heliport, a typically peaceful tourist destination where clients can book sky high views of Avalon’s breathtaking landscape. Trade long-ranged shots across the asphalt — watch your head around those spinning rotors — or duke it out in the main lobby and warehouse.
Battle within a fine art museum where several of the pieces on display have been vandalized with paint and graffiti. Navigate in and around a huge sculptural centerpiece in the main exhibit or branch out into the lobby or a side exhibit for a closer fight. Ambush enemies in the corner cloakroom and light display and — if you can manage to catch a breath — read up on the vibrant history of Avalon’s Post-Expressionism and Minimalist art movements.
Set against the unrelenting heat of the Nevada desert, Area 99 – or more specifically, the Echo Ridge Weapons Station – was a top-secret government site constructed in the 1950s, concealed from the public just miles away from the original Nuketown testing site. Designed to push the bounds of radiation testing and cement American dominance, the entire region was subsequently abandoned after an unfortunate reactor leak, and the project erased by the government.
The scene of what is shaping up to be a ferocious Ranked Play Battle Royale at Mid-Season, the Urzikstan “big map” is the first of two returning, large-scale locations you can drop into at the launch of Season 01. As development work to integrate Omnimovement and other Black Ops 6 innovations was highly involved, this version of Urzikstan is the one you remember from the earlier seasons of Modern Warfare® III, with an intact Popov Power plant, and prior to the construction of the Atlas Superstore at Al-Sada Village.
The infamous prison island continues to be in the playlist rotation, with the focus on Resurgence Modes now with the added tactical chaos of Omnimovement integration, and a host of Black Ops 6 weaponry, Killstreaks, and more! Squad up, drop in, and survive at the start of Season 01.
Having withstood medieval sieges and two world wars, the castle’s prominence waned as modern-day Avalon grew and prospered. Now it is closed to the public, housing a Syndicate crew led by a man named Franco whose dealings with Project Janus have brought a dark disaster upon a place already soaked in blood. Welcome to Citadelle des Morts.
Modes
Polish your favorite armament and drop into Liberty Falls where the gruff Arsenal Machine Drill Sergeant gives you tough love as you maneuver to a sequence of different “Station” flags dotted around the map.
Deck the Falls with boughs of holly, as the Jingle Hells festive Limited Time Mode returns! In Jingle Hells, the entirety of the Liberty Falls map is festooned with wreaths, ribbons, twinkling lights, Christmas trees, garlands of fir tree bunting, and a thin blanket of snow. Although, something feels a bit off… not least the melting piles of slush stained with bloody entrails…
Trade gold for sweets in this festive LTM that challenges teams to gather and deposit the most cookies. Grab cookies from the rotating crate, fallen Operators, and by breaching the enemy’s cookie box and taking the goods back to your own. Earn buffs for depositing cookies, including a speed boost, faster reload, and faster health regen.
Even the undead are getting into the holiday spirit as zombies and fallen Operators don festive clothing in this jovial twist on the fan-favorite Infected mode.
Enter Area 99, newly outfitted with Deck the Halls trees and Snowball coolers. Get right to the point with access to high-tier loot along with a smaller gas circle and faster transitions between collapses.
Inspect the Core 6v6 Multiplayer Maps with a new sense of purpose, as Ransack sees you looting gold bars from crates dotted around the area of operations. Once gathered, secure your loot by bringing it back to your team’s stash. Naturally, this collection needs to be well-guarded, as the enemy team can raid your stash, meaning cohesive tactical planning between looting and defending is the key to victory. Reach the score limit or the time limit with the most gold and your team wins.
Prepare for an infamous game of hide-and-seek, as the fan-favorite Black Ops party mode is back! Drop into a Multiplayer map as a Prop or Hunter. Props have one job; after a short period of time to find a hiding spot, you need to blend into the landscape as a random scenic object, but with the ability to move… and uncontrollably whistle every 30 seconds. Just wait out the clock, and don’t attract the attention of any Hunters, or the jig is up! Drop identical decoys to fool your foes, change shape to a different piece of scenery, or lob a Stun Grenade at the feet of a Hunter if your cover is about to be blown. Meanwhile, the Hunters are here to scrutinize the map for anything that looks out of place… or whistles… and then shoot it!
This is similar to the mode players experienced during Modern Warfare III, you’re here to triumph over enemies (or enemy teams) and finish as the sole survivor or squad. This time, however, all Operators drop in with Omnimovement options as well as the full complement of Black Ops 6 weaponry to earn and use.
A mode familiar to many, but difficult to conquer, you’re here to survive and redeploy fallen teammates as well as scoring by dispatching enemies, equipment, opening crates, and completing Contracts to return your Squadmates more rapidly. Drop into the fray on both Rebirth Island and the brand-new Area 99.
Players or squads are here for the cash; collecting the highest amount of in-game money as they can to claim victory before the timer runs out. However, the key difference is that players are no longer able to pick up and sell valuables; this is Plunder in its purest form!
The definitive Ranked Play experience that Treyarch has been building towards since Call of Duty: Vanguard – and throughout the lifespan of Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III – is coming to Season 01, starting later in November. Expect a full rules breakdown in the Black Ops 6 Patch Notes closer to Ranked Play launch.
During Season 01, Ranked Play makes its triumphant return to the big map, bringing Ranked Play to Call of Duty: Warzone earlier in the seasons than ever before. Prove your prowess by outsmarting, out-maneuvering, and outlasting the opposition and earn exclusive Ranked Play rewards as you go. Expect further intel on this mode in the Season 01 Reloaded Blog in early December.
