Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded: Release date, new guns, CODMAS event & more

Black Ops 6 Season 1 has already introduced a load of new content, from the Krig C and Saug SMG to new maps and modes. That said, the devs still have more up their sleeve, as the mid-season Reloaded update is set to bring another wave of content for players.

For those interested in what’s coming in the Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded update, as well as the update’s release date, here are all the details you need to know.

When is Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded update?

BO6 Season 1 Reloaded will arrive on Thursday, December 5, 2024, at around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT.

Treyarch confirmed this via X, where they announced the release date for the new Zombie map, Citadelle des Morts, which arrives with the mid-season update.

New weapons in Season 1 Reloaded

The Maelstorm Shotgun, AMR Mod 4 Sniper Rifle, and Cleaver Melee Weapon will all be arriving with the Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded update.

According to the CoD blog, these weapons will be available via an “Event Reward.” This likely means that players will need to complete an in-game challenge in order to unlock them, similar to the Sirin 9mm and Power Drill in the Hit List event.

New maps & modes

Black Ops 4’s Hacienda arrives as a 6v6 map in BO6 Season 1 Reloaded. Players will also be getting a new, smaller Strike map called Racket, while Nuketown Holiday brings the Christmas Holiday vibes to the iconic Black Ops map.

The devs also revealed that Prop Hunt will be available “in-season,” so we expect that mode to arrive after Season 1 Reloaded. Further, limited-time modes will also be arriving, which seem to be associated with the CODMAS event.

Citadelle des Morts

The brand-new round-based Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts, arrives on December 5th alongside the update, bringing yet another Easter egg for players to complete.

The map is set in an abandoned Castle in Europe, and leaks suggest that the map will feature elemental swords and the iconic Wunderwaffe DG2. For all the details on the new Zombies map, check out our detailed guide on Citadelle des Morts.

CODMAS event in BO6 Season 1 Reloaded

To celebrate the Christmas holidays, Black Ops 6 will host yet another CODMAS event in Call of Duty. This event will bring a variety of rewards for players to earn, all with a holiday theme.

In the past, we’ve seen CODMAS bring a variety of cosmetics to the game as well as map makeovers, which Nuketown Holiday will bring. We’ve also seen limited-time modes like Krampus too, so perhaps players can expect something similar for BO6.
