Seasonal updates typically have a significant file size due to the large amount of new content, and this one is no exception. The new maps, modes, and features heavily contribute to the Season 4 update's overall size.

Here is a brief description of the new content available across all major modes:

Black Ops 6 Multiplayer

Expand Tweet

In Season 4, Black Ops 6 Multiplayer will introduce five new multiplayer maps: Shutdown, Fugitive, Blitz, Eclipse, and Fringe. New game modes include Team Elimination, One in the Chamber, and Party Ops. A new Scorestreak called the Grim Reaper will also be introduced.

Black Ops 6 Zombies

Black Ops 6 Zombies won’t have a new map in this update, and nor will it continue the main Zombies storyline. However, a fan-favorite mode from Black Ops 2, Grief, is making its return. In this mode, two teams of four face off in an indirect battle where players can’t directly kill opponents but can sabotage them by body-blocking or using certain actions to slow them down.

The objective is to outlast the rival team. As the rounds progress, capturing zones will inflict penalties on enemies, giving your team an edge. Additionally, Dark Ops Challenges and two limited-time modes (Starting Room and Abomination Challenge) will be introduced.

New gameplay elements are also coming, including the return of the Shattered Blast Ammo Mod and three new GobbleGums: Explosive Flourish, Flavor Hex, and Rainburps.

Warzone

Warzone will receive a new POI called Overlook on the Verdansk map. Two new limited-time modes — Clash and Havoc Royale — will also be introduced.

A new Resurgence Casual mode will be added with the launch of Season 4, and Ranked Play Resurgence, which was previously seen in MW3, will arrive during the mid-season update.

In terms of gameplay, Warzone is set to get several new elements in Season 4:

Door Barricade Field Upgrade
Search & Destroy Contract
New Killstreaks (Hand Cannon and Care Package)
Loot Master Perk
A new vehicle: ATV Polaris Sportsman XP 1000
