Prepare for Action: Call of Duty Season 5 Launches August 7!

Get ready for some heart-pounding action as Call of Duty Season 5 kicks off in Black Ops 6 and Warzone this August 7! This season promises intense gameplay with weapon balancing tweaks, a new battle pass featuring fresh operators, and an exciting limited-time Stadium event in Warzone.

What’s New in Season 5?

This season introduces a brand-new battle pass packed with cosmetics and two powerful weapons. Lawrence Sims from Black Ops Cold War takes center stage as the main battle pass operator, while Solace joins as the new BlackCell operator.

For Black Ops 6, players can expect the final Zombies map along with additional multiplayer maps. Warzone is also evolving with new playable areas within the Stadium and a thrilling Stadium Resurgence mode.

Weapon Balancing: A Focus on Viability!

Season 5's patch notes indicate a strong focus on weapon balancing, especially for underutilized firearms. Shotguns, semi-auto rifles, and the less popular Feng 82 light machine gun are being revamped with range improvements to boost their effectiveness.

While buffs are the main course, expect a nerf for the Olympia special weapon, which has proven to be a bit too powerful in previous seasons.

Get Ready for a Competitive Edge!

The new season also brings an invigorated multiplayer Ranked Play, complete with fresh rewards and Demotion Protection for early losses. Returning players should note that some re-qualification parameters have changed, ensuring an intense competition ahead!

Zombies Mode Gets a Makeover!

With the launch of the Reckoning Zombies map, previous maps will receive several quality-of-life improvements, addressing issues to ensure seamless gameplay. Get ready for chaotic encounters against fearsome foes!

Unleash Mayhem with the Stadium Event!

In a twist from past events, this season Warzone features a unique Stadium contract allowing players to blow the roof off the Stadium! This thrilling experience will be available during the first week of the season, with permanent access to a revamped Stadium area afterwards.

The Stadium Resurgence Mode Debuts!

Starting in the second week of Season 5, enjoy the fast-paced Stadium Resurgence mode, complete with custom loot pools and a unique gameplay experience for up to 36 players!

Nerfs and Buffs Galore!

From the fan-favorite LC-10 receiving damage range nerfs to the HDR sniper rifle facing adjustments to its bullet velocity, balances are being made to keep gameplay fresh and competitive! Notably, players can also look forward to new attachments and lootable perks, enhancing gameplay strategy.

Get Ready for Season 5!

Mark your calendars for a thrilling experience starting August 7 at 9 AM PT! With so many exciting updates on the horizon, it's time to gear up and dive back into the fight!
