Stick to the path, seek out bonuses en route, and don’t let up on that gas pedal. **New Ability Boosts:** Further customize your Operator with the addition of Ability Boosts, earnable primarily in Nightmare zones with a chance to drop in Zone IV. Ability Boosts add additional upgrades to your Major and Minor Abilities, from reducing their cooldown time to adding more ammo, inflicting additional damage types, and more. **Free to Play Ends Soon:** Season 05 is your last chance to jump into Endgame for free with your squad. Don’t miss out! ##### New Assignment: Burn Run (Launch) Get pumped in Avalon with the new Burn Run Assignment, challenging Operators to a race against the clock in a bomb-rigged vehicle that’s ready to explode. As the music rages on, step on the gas and pass through all thirty arches, each one embroiled in flames so you know exactly where to go. The pathway is littered with Fear enemies and objects; run them over to add additional seconds to the clock and seek out bonuses like repair wrenches and speed boosts to keep your vehicle in working order as you blast through the racecourse. Keep your eyes on the road, hit everything in your path, and get to the destination. ##### Exotic Ability Boosts (Launch) Upgrade your Major and Minor Abilities with new, rare enhancements that can be acquired in the match, further empowering them with advantages including reduced cooldown times, extra ammo, the chance to inflict additional damage types, and other bonuses improving their effectiveness in the field. Found in item cases, Ability Boosts are mixed in with other reward types and are chosen based on your currently equipped Major and Minor Ability. Though Ability Boosts have a small chance to drop in Zone IV regions, they are primarily found in Nightmare locations. Open your Tac Map and check the rewards list of various Nightmare level Activities and Assignments to discover where you have the best chance of discovering them. Each Major and Minor Ability has two Exotic Ability boosts to choose from. Once acquired, the Ability Boost will remain until you either wipe or swap out the affected Ability. ##### Free to Play Throughout S05 Endgame’s free-to-play period is planned to continue through to the conclusion of Season 05, so be sure to jump in with your squad to explore all that Avalon has to offer in this expansive PvE mode. Once Season 06 of _Black Ops 7_ and _Call of Duty: Warzone_ begins, Endgame will no longer be accessible via the _Call of Duty: Warzone_ menu and will be available only to _Black Ops 7_ owners. ##### Black Ops 7: Multiplayer Content [table equalcells="1" colwidth="" _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1938090/view/702147697120904802]_ ### Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone - Season 04 - Live - Date: 2026-06-04 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1938090/view/525373714489934855 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/call-of-duty/releases/steam-525373714489934855 - **added** — Operation Wall Breaker in Endgame mode - **added** — Five new and remastered Multiplayer Maps - **added** — Fortune's Keep returns to Warzone - **added** — Rogue Run game mode in Zombies set on Ashes of the Damned ##### Yours for the Taking: Black Ops Season 04 is Live! ##### The Story So Far After David Mason is captured by The Guild and Specter Two goes on the offense with their own man on the inside, Karma's Guild-killing virus is finally ready to deploy... but Dorne has one last card to play.

No loadouts, no problem 🔥 ##### Welcome to Black Ops Royale [table equalcells="1" colwidth=""] BLACK OPS ROYALE SUMMARY **Black Ops Royale:** This is an original Blackout-inspired Battle Royale with no Loadouts, no Gulag, and no Buy Stations. Wingsuit in, scavenge to survive, upgrade weapons through rarity, master Cradle Breaches, and outlast 24 rival squads on Avalon’s massive warzone. **Weapons, Archetypes, and Upgrading: **After infil, it’s pure scavenger warfare: scramble to find _Black Ops 7_ weapons with fixed Build Archetypes and five-attachment upgrade paths. Hunt for Attachment Kits to raise weapon Rarity, unlocking your preset build, and push your arsenal to Legendary before the competition does. **A Deeper Dive into Weapon Archetypes:** Weapon Archetypes define how every gun functions in Black Ops Royale, pairing class-wide Global Benefits with tuned Build Themes that stack through rarity upgrades. Learn the Themes, master the kits, and turn base ground loot into Legendary or even Exotic match-winning firepower. **Cerebral Link: Your Heads-Up Display:** Black Ops Royale’s Cerebral Link HUD keeps the familiar _Call of Duty®_: _Warzone™_ layout while adding critical intel: visible health values, weapon Rarity and Archetype, full Attachment upgrade paths, and an expanded Backpack Menu supporting additional equipment slots. Faster swaps, clearer data, sharper decision-making — all at a glance. **Black Ops Royale Perk System:** The original _Call of Duty_ BR Perk system returns and includes a flexible twist: no fixed slots, just five swappable, consumable boosts you activate when the moment demands. Loot them, swap them with your squad, and time them wisely — each temporary advantage can shift the balance of a firefight or the fate of your squad throughout the match. **Black Ops Royale Equipment: **Arm yourself with a full Blackout-inspired arsenal: carry two types of Equipment at once and use returning favorites like the Grappling Hook, Sensor Dart, and Trauma Kit, plus potent Killstreaks and the Tiered Armor Vest system. Scavenge smartly and deploy the right tool at the right moment to survive Avalon’s escalating chaos. **Black Ops Royale Match Features:** Black Ops Royale reshapes match flow with wingsuit infil, wall-jumping Omnimovement, swimmable waterways, and crossable tidal flats. No Gulag — redeploy via Tokens or captured Towers. Command land, sea, and air vehicles, outmaneuver rivals, and stay ahead of the ever-closing Collapse. **Activities:** Avalon’s optional Activities add to looting with purposeful risk: hunt bounties, crack Strongboxes for Armor, capture Relays for UAV sweeps and redeploys, or fight through Guild defenses for premium rewards. Choose your objective, secure the advantage, and dictate the pace of the match. **Cradle Breaches** shroud parts of Avalon in red gas, spawning hallucinated zombie hordes and revealing desirable loot invisible outside the zone. Brave the chaos to face a Mangler Boss or unlock a Mystery Box for the best armor, weaponry, and other top-tier rewards — if you survive. **Integrations and Launch Timing:** Black Ops Royale ties directly into _Black Ops 7_ and _Call of Duty: Warzone_ progression, with exclusive Challenges, Missions, and camo unlocks — plus the cross-mode Counter Skies Event Pass (March 17 – April 2). Earn the Swordfish A1, new Attachments, Operator Skins, and more when the mode launches March 12 at 9PM PT. _“Up to 100 wingsuited players with one goal: be the last team standing. Once you hit the ground, you’ll have to scavenge for weapons and other resources to strategize your survival. In addition to the numerous opponents beware of the collapse which slowly shrinks the area of combat forcing fights to the death. Oh, and don’t forget the zombies…”_ – Call of Duty Blog, describing t _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1938090/view/532125218178596978]_ ### Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone - Season 2 - Live Now - Date: 2026-02-05 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1938090/view/534374481398857729 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/call-of-duty/releases/steam-534374481398857729 - **added** — New maps added to the game - **added** — New weapons added to the game - **added** — BO7 Ranked Play introduced - **added** — New Zombies content added - **changed** — Rebirth Island now features snow coverage Season 02 brings new maps, weapons, BO7 Ranked Play, Zombies content, a snow-covered Rebirth Island, and more starting today. ### Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 1 - All You Need to Know - Part 2 - Date: 2025-12-03 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1938090/view/505095376722723171 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/call-of-duty/releases/steam-505095376722723171 - **added** — Deploy to Haven's Hollow, a brand-new Resurgence map tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains - **added** — Explore the new Signal Station featuring an interactive element that rewards worthy squads with a view of their enemies - **added** — Loot up in the remastered Factory, returning since its first appearance in Verdansk '84 - **added** — Player Level reset, allowing you to level up and optionally Prestige across Co-Op Campaign, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Call of Duty: Warzone - **added** — Access to all 30 Black Ops 7 launch weapons, plus the additional armaments coming to Season 01, each with specific Call of Duty: Warzone Camos to unlock - **added** — All Weapons now have access to Weapon Prestige and Prestige Attachments - **added** — Weapon Build Sharing has been enabled for Black Ops 7 weapons - **added** — Season 01 Operators - **added** — Test out Wall Jump and the Grapple Hook Tactical in Limited-Time Modes - **added** — New equipment interactions: Smoke Grenades now douse Molotov fire - **added** — New equipment interactions: Stim Shots now remove the effects of Flash and Concussion Grenades - **added** — A new Adaptive Perk has been added - **added** — Needle Drone Lethal equipment has been added - **added** — Pinpoint Grenade Tactical provides sustained reconnaissance, deploying tracking darts at enemies entering its radius - **added** — Echo Unit Field Upgrade has been added - **changed** — Tac Sprint is now part of the Sprinter Perk - **changed** — Base movement speed has been increased to compensate for Tac Sprint being part of the Sprinter Perk - **changed** — Players equipped with the Mountaineer Perk can now perform the new Combat Roll for added mobility - **changed** — Overkill is now a default advantage when you access your Loadout - **changed** — Weapons now have a maximum of five attachments - **changed** — The three Perk Slots have been restructured and updated ##### Call of Duty: Warzone: Season 01 Content [table equalcells="1" colwidth=""] CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE SUMMARY **New Gameplay Features: **Get details on the changes coming to movement, Loadouts, Perks, Equipment, and more with the Season 01 integration with _Black Ops 7_. **New Resurgence Map – Haven’s Hollow:** Deploy to Haven’s Hollow, a brand-new Resurgence map tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains and replete with old school American charm. **New Verdansk POIs:** Explore the new Signal Station featuring an interactive element that rewards worthy squads with a view of their enemies.

Call up your squad and get ready to re-deploy to Ransack and Blueprint Gunfight. **New Scorestreak:** Set the enemy aflame with the new Combat Bow, a low-cost Scorestreak that detonates on impact leaving a pool of flames in its wake. ##### New Multiplayer Map ** ** Jackpot _Inspired by Black Ops 4, Core, 6v6, Medium-Sized_ _ _ Step into the Casino Luttazzi, where luxury meets chaos. Inspired by the “High Rollers” Campaign mission from _Black Ops 6_ and the “Casino” Multiplayer map from _Black Ops 4_, Jackpot sets the stage for incredible action as Operators battle over the casino floor, the dazzling Stage, and the outer Terrace and Gazebo, dripping with opulence at every turn. The stakes are sky-high, but the potential payoff is well worth the effort. Hold the central Bar for map control, trade shots between the Slots, or flank targets through the wings. Combining open combat, risky chokepoints, and multiple routes to victory, every match is a gamble, so double down, play the odds, and go all in for the win. ** ** ##### Multiplayer Modes Turn up the heat with the explosive Cranked Demolition mode arriving alongside two returning favorites: Ransack and Blueprint Gunfight.

Just don’t let that timer distract you from the ticking match clock; planting and defusing bombs are still the main objective in play! Ransack _Returning Mode_ Put it all on the line in this returning mode where teams attempt to strike it rich by looting and stashing the noblest metal of them all. Score points by looting gold bars from designated piles around the map and off fallen enemies who drop their acquired gold when eliminated. Each gold pile is activated for a limited time before moving to the next area marked on your HUD and minimap. Fill your pockets and safely return to your team’s deposit zone to score for each delivered bar; but remember that even deposited gold is up for the taking. If a player enters the opposing team’s drop site, they’ll secure gold bars directly from their stash while adding them to their own team’s score if they can get the delivery back to base in one piece.
