Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3 Reloaded, launched on May 1, 2025, brings fresh content to the FPS game, including new multiplayer maps, a powerful SMG, and limited-time modes. Building on Season 3’s debut of the Shattered Veil Zombies map and Verdansk’s return to Warzone, this mid-season update refines gameplay and keeps the momentum going. Here’s what players can dive into with this exciting update.
New Multiplayer Maps and SMG
Season 3 Reloaded introduces two new multiplayer maps, Haven and Signal, alongside a Nuketown variant, expanding tactical options for 6v6 and 2v2 Strike modes. The star addition is the Jackal PDW SMG, a devastating close-range weapon that’s already shaking up the meta. Returning modes like Sharpshooter and Demolition, plus the chaotic Team Cranked in Zombies, offer fresh challenges. Team Cranked disables Wall Buys, pushing players to rely on the Mystery Box for high-powered weapons, with rewards like 15,000 XP and exclusive GobbleGums for surviving past Round 50.
Events and Anti-Cheat Upgrade
The update features ongoing events like Blaze of Glory and High Art, ending May 15, 2025, where players collect Blaze Bucks for rewards like the Vendetta Perk and Frost Blast Field Upgrade. Activision’s RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system sees upgrades, with enhanced analytics to ban cheaters and ensure fair play. Console players now have granular crossplay options, allowing matchmaking with specific platforms to optimize queue times. For the full patch notes, visit the official Call of Duty blog.
