Los Angeles, CA - November 29, 2024 – Activision today detailed the extensive content arriving with Season 01 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, launching December 4th. The update introduces six maps across multiplayer and Warzone, the return of the Mule Kick perk, and a considerable arsenal of new weapons, perks, and field upgrades.
Multiplayer maps & New Elite Enemy
Season 01 expands the Black ops 6 multiplayer roster with new maps. Players will encounter the elite enemy OSCAR (Observation System and Butcher Adjudicator Robot), a floating guardian equipped with a drone shield and Tesla Field attacks. A key counter to OSCAR and high-round survival will be the new wonder Weapon, the LGM-1, which deploys small, homing “saucer squadrons.”
Mule Kick Returns & Arsenal Upgrades
The popular Mule Kick perk makes a comeback, allowing players to carry a third primary weapon. It features a dedicated augment tree with major and minor upgrades, including “Ol’ Reliable” which guarantees the third weapon is retained upon repurchase.
Further bolstering player options, the ammo mods Light Mend and Shatter Blast, alongside the field upgrades Tesla Storm, Frost Blast, and Mister Peeks, are returning from previous Black Ops titles. The Exit 115 Survival map and the ultra-hard Cursed mode for Stars of Evil Grinders will also be available.
