This massive season of content brings five new Multiplayer maps and one 6v6 variant, six new weapons, the Shattered Veil Zombies map, a new BlackCell Operator, wild Store Bundles including Jay and Silent Bob, and much more. Plus, players can check out the 24-hour Multiplayer and Zombies Free Trial, including all Season 03 Premium content from these two game modes.

Here's what's coming in Season 03:

Returning Modes: Test your skills across two classic game modes returning for Black Ops 6. Display your mastery of weapons in Sharpshooter and bomb the enemy team in Demolition.

Additional Equipment: Rapidly deploy your Dedicated Melee weapon using the new Close Shave Perk and blast enemies to pieces with the glorious return of the Death Machine Scorestreak. In the mid-season, get even with help from the Vendetta Perk.

Season 03 Ranked Play: Get wins, climb the Ranks, and beat out the competition in a new season of Multiplayer Ranked Play bringing all-new rewards to earn.

Zombies:

Shattered Veil: Move into the heart of an Appalachian apocalypse as the crew descends on Colton Hall, a diabolical mansion that holds the key to saving Agent Maxis.

Additional Gameplay Content: Boost your fire rate with the Double Tap Perk-a-Cola, enjoy the effects of three new GobbleGums, and wield the Death Machine.

New Enemy Types, Wonder Weapons, and More: Battle the Elder Disciple and its empowered minions, take on the new Toxic Zombies in special rounds, disintegrate enemies with the Ray Gun Mark II and its variants, as well as the classic Wunderwaffe DG-2 Wonder Weapon, and heat up the undead leftovers with the Microwave Trap.

Team Cranked: Power up and keep slaying with friends to replenish the countdown timer and stay in the game as Team Cranked debuts with fresh rewards in Season 03.

Across Black Ops 6 and Warzone:

Return to Verdansk: Deploy to the big map that started it all as Verdansk returns to Call of Duty: Warzone.

Weapons Detail: Earn six new weapons throughout Season 03, including four available at launch and revealed here: the Kilo 141 and CR-56 AMAX Assault Rifles, the HDR Sniper Rifle, and the Kali Sticks Melee Weapon. Customize your weapons with the Monolithic Suppressor and other attachments. Plus, unlock the Nail Gun and the new Ladra SMG later in the season.

Battle Pass and BlackCell: The Season 03 Battle Pass brings new Weapon Blueprints, Operator Skins, Calling Cards, Finishing Moves, Emotes, and more in a mix of free and premium tiers. Free tiers include two new base weapons and two attachments, including the Monolithic Suppressor.

Season 03 Operators: R0-Z3, Hudson & Mace answer the call to Verdansk as headliners for BlackCell and the Battle Pass, respectively. Plus, Jay and Silent Bob — as well as Bluntman and Chronic — deploy to the Store along with other Bundles you don’t want to miss.
