Black Ops 6 Season 3 Reloaded starts on May 1 and introduces a fresh batch of new content for Multiplayer and Zombies fans to enjoy.
The highlight of Season 3 was Verdansk’s triumphant return in Warzone, but the update was also exciting for BO6 fans. In Zombies, fans praised Shattered Veil for being one of the game’s best maps, and the Ray Gun Mark II and Wunderwaffe DG-2 returned as Wonder Weapons.
Meanwhile, in Multiplayer, the devs added three new maps, including a remake of Firing Range, new modes, and several iconic weapons. Season 3 Reloaded builds on that momentum by making more highly requested changes.
Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Season 3 Reloaded Early Patch Notes Explained
Two New Multiplayer Maps
Haven and Signal are the two new 6v6 Multiplayer maps in Season 3 Reloaded.
Call of Duty insider CharlieIntel reported that Haven was initially developed by Sledgehammer Games and was intended for Modern Warfare 3. However, it was put on hold to be launched in BO6 instead.
The map takes place in an abandoned KGB safehouse set in 1991. The dilapidated compound is a medium-sized map and only supports 6v6 matches.
Signal, on the other hand, rewinds the clock to 1968 and is set in an underground submarine military station. This map is small and supports 6v6 or 2v2 action.,
New LTM & Perk
Joint Operations is a new limited-time mode in Season 3 Reloaded, featuring a playlist of Team Deathmatch, Domination, Hardpoint, Kill Order, and Kill Confirmed.
These aren’t your typical game modes, though, because there are modifiers, including a +420 Score Bonus, 3rd Person, Visual Impairment, Double Health, Hardcore, Paranoia Sounds, Low Gravity, Double Jump, and Increased Movement Speed.
Vendetta is a new Recon combat specialty Perk found in the second Perk Slot that briefly marks your killer’s last known position and awards a bonus score for eliminating that enemy.

Zombie Snacks LTM
Sombie Snacks is a new limited-time mode available on all five maps that replaces your health bar with an energy meter, which depletes when taking damage or moving.
Activision provided a full breakdown of how the mode works in the official Season 3 Reloaded blog post.
- In Standard, your energy depletes when moving or taking damage. Jumping, mantling, sliding, and diving all deplete energy on use. In Directed Mode, your energy only depletes when taking damage.
- Replenish your energy by eating snacks (+50), drinking Perks (+150), or chewing a GobbleGum (+50). Other health-based features will also refill energy, such as the Stimshot (+50) and the Light Mend Ammo Mod (+5 per glyph, +10 with the Extra Strength Augment).
- The Jugger-Nog Perk will increase your total energy bar.
Food Items: Eat food to partially replenish your energy meter, dropped by downed enemies and found throughout the map.
- Specials, Elites, and HVTs are guaranteed to drop three snack items.
Refrigerator Powerup: When activated, all eliminated zombies will drop food items for a short period of time. Nobody’s going hungry when this Power-Up drops.
Flow Mode: Eliminate 10 zombies without taking damage to enter a flow state. Operators in the flow inflict plenty of extra damage and gain special boosts, such as improved handling and movement. Take any damage, and the flow state is lost. We suggest you turn up your music for this one.
Earn GobbleGum rewards upon the first completion of the Main Quest in Standard or Directed Mode on any map:
Frost Blast Field Upgrade
The Frost Blast is a returning Field Upgrade that allows players to create a blizzard that deals frost damage and slows down enemies.
Frost Blast is available in all five Zombies maps, and there are also Major and Minor Augments.
Major Augments
- Ice Slick: Enemies within the blizzard may be knocked down.
- Frost Cast: The blizzard moves forward when activated.
- Flash Freeze: Normal enemies within the blizzard will be frozen solid and are killed when damaged.
Minor Augments
- Extension: Significantly increases blizzard duration.
- Frostbite: Increase damage to frozen enemies.
- Extra Charge: Increase max charges by one.
Shattered Veil Directed Mode & Ray Gun Mark II Changes
Season 3 Reloaded introduced Directed Mode to Shattered Veil, which guides players through the main quest on the map.
In addition, the mid-season update also makes a highly-requested quality-of-life change by making the Ray Gun Mark II available on all Zombies maps rather than just Shattered Veil.
