Black Ops Cold War Season 5: Reloaded is here, bringing the return of Demolition and a whole lot of new Zombies content with it. We have all the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 5: Reloaded details right here for you, including the new maps, game modes, and more. We also have the BOCW Season 5: Reloaded Update Patch Notes...
Season 5: Reloaded has largely slipped under the radar, mainly due to this weekend's Call of Duty: Vanguard Beta, this week's Vanguard Multiplayer Reveal, and the recent announcement of Warzone's new Pacific Map. It's all very exciting, and there's a ton to look forward to in Call of Duty later this year, but that doesn't mean you should faze out of BOCW quite yet. Here's everything you need to know about BOCW Season 5: Reloaded, including the Patch Notes.
Black Ops Cold War Season 5: Reloaded Details
BOCW Season 5: Reloaded features a number of new Multiplayer Maps, a ton of new Zombies content, and some cool new operators. In addition to these, which are described in more detail below, Season 5: Reloaded features a new "Numbers Seasonal Event" which will begin on September 21, at 10AM PT. It includes a selection of challenges which will (once completed) unlock the new Sai Melee Weapon. The event will take place exclusively on Season 5 maps and modes. Anyway, here's everything else in more detail...
New Multiplayer Maps in BOCW Season 5: Reloaded
Zoo, a classic Black Ops 1 map, has returned in Black Ops Cold War Season 5: Reloaded. The map is set in, as the name suggests, a Zoo, and is located in the Ural Mountains region of Western Russia. It's a medium-large sized map, and features a number of old animal exhibits and cages, as well as shops and a few dried-out fountains. As of writing, we are still unsure as to what will be changed in this new version of the map. However, we do have a map guide ready and loaded for you:
Demolition Returns in BOCW Season 5: Reloaded
Demolition is finally coming to Black Ops Cold War in Season 5: Reloaded, and remains largely the same as in previous Call of Duty games. It is an insanely fun multiplayer game mode that involves players having to defend and destroy bomb sites. Each team is either an Attacker or Defender. The former must destroy both bomb sites by the end of the match to win, and the latter must keep at least one bomb site intact.
New Zombies Content in BOCW Season 5: Reloaded
An entire new region is being added to Outbreak in Season 5: Reloaded, dubbed Armada. It's a water-based map set in the North Atlantic Ocean, and to be honest, it looks pretty bloody cool. The map will be played in-and-or around water, on boats, docks, and ships. It's probably the thing that we're most excited about in Black Ops Cold War Season 5: Reloaded, as Outbreak is clearly the best aspect of BOCW, and this map looks super nice. The following is also being added to Zombies in Season 5: Reloaded...
- New World Event is coming, adding "Black Chests"
- The Rampage Inducer will now begin appearing in starting areas.
Outbreak Survival Limited Time Mode
A new LTM has been added in BOCW Season 5: Reloaded called Outbreak Survival. Players begin the new mode with a Field Upgrade from their standard loadout, and a 1911 handgun. You try to complete the objective and exfiltrate before being killed. There is no auto-regeneration, meaning that players need to heal themselves using items.
