New weapons for Black Ops Cold War Season 1 have not been confirmed. Eagle eyed viewers have spotted a couple in the road map however, that are not currently in the game.

Adler is believed to be holding a Striker shotgun. The semi-automatic shotgun is a classic from prior Modern Warfare games and a current favorite in COD Mobile. It is more than likely coming to Cold War per leakers.

The Groza SMG has been spotted too, with many mistaking it for the Chicom. Leaks have revealed this to be an assault rifle coming to the game rather than an SMG.

Players have been eagerly awaiting Black Ops Cold War Season 1 to see how it will affect COD: Warzone. Operators and weapons from both MW and BOCW will both be usable in the battle royale.

The Modern Warfare engine that Warzone uses will remain intact. Therefore, Black Ops Cold War players may have to adjust to playing a mostly different game when dropping into Verdasnk.

That is, if Verdansk stays on as the Warzone map. Black Ops Cold War Season 1 could see Verdansk traded out for another map, or massive changes to takes players to Verdansk in the Cold War era.

A brand new Battle Pass is sure to arrive, giving players plenty of unlockable content to use in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone.
