The star of the show in Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded is a remaster of the iconic Black Ops 3 multiplayer map, Fringe. However, the Season 4 Reloaded early patch notes are also full of other surprises for Multiplayer and Zombies fans.
Some Call of Duty Fans have already shifted their focus to Black Ops 7, as teasers and leaks have revealed key details about the game. It also didn’t help the case for BO6, as glitches and apparent design choices marred Season 4.
Players noticed that Multiplayer lobbies no longer displayed their levels, and ads were added to the loadout screen. Activision claimed that both problems were glitches and not design choices, but players didn’t appreciate the response. Season 4 Reloaded aims to right the ship.
Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded Early Patch Notes Explained
Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded officially begins on July 2 at 9 AM PT.
Fringe is widely acclaimed as one of the best maps in Call of Duty history, but it is a rare example of a classic map yet to receive a remake. That finally changes in Season 4 Reloaded, as Treyarch gives the traditional three-lane map a fresh coat of paint and retains the same layout fans know and love.
Meanwhile, Eclipse takes place on Avalon, which is confirmed to be the location for the Black Ops 7 Campaign. The new Multiplayer map is set in a nightclub, and is small and frantic.
In Zombies, Treyarch rolled out a few gameplay updates to Grief. Additionally, Abomination Challenge and Starting Room are new LTMs. Starting Room has the makings of a fun new addition, as you are tasked with surviving as long as possible in the starting area of a map.
And for all of the high-skilled Zombies fans out there, the King of the Dead Leaderboard Event gives players a platform to flex their skills. Playing one match puts you on the leaderboard, and after that, all eliminations help you climb higher. Special, Elite, and Boss enemies score more points, so get ready to take on hard gunfights. There are rewards at the end of the event, based on your placement.
