Season 04 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone has officially landed, bringing one of the most content-packed updates yet across Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame and Warzone.
From glitch-ridden story missions and prestige resets to 52v52 chaos in Verdansk, this season pushes every mode into overdrive with fresh mechanics, new maps and high-stakes tactical gameplay.
Endgame Story Mission: Operation Wall Breaker Begins
The narrative continues as Karma’s virus reaches its critical stage in Endgame. Players are tasked with tracking down Mapping Data across Avalon to locate a hidden network hub, breach The Guild’s firewall, and eliminate the Command Killer known as Glitch Fracture.
One of the toughest challenges comes in the form of the Nightmare difficulty boss fight.
Top tip: Coordinate your squad before attempting the Glitch Fracture encounter. Defeating the boss with operators like 50/50, Razor, or Faulkner rewards exclusive “Shatter Shock” operator skins and animated weapon camos.
Operator Prestige: A High-Risk, High-Reward Reset System
Season 04 introduces Operator Prestige to Endgame, offering a radical progression system that resets skills, acquisitions and loadouts in exchange for powerful long-term upgrades.
Why it matters:
- Prestige 1 unlocks an extra exotic skill slot
- Prestige 2 adds a nightmare skill slot
- Prestige 3 unlocks a fourth skill track for maximum build customisation
Top tip: Don’t avoid the reset. Each prestige layer significantly expands your build potential, especially for high-difficulty runs.
New Abilities: Guardian Skill Track and Psych Grenade
Mid-season updates bring major new tactical options, including the defensive Guardian Skill Track and the chaotic Psych Grenade minor ability.
A standout feature is the Rescue Pulse, which allows nearby squadmates to revive each other in tight situations.
Top tip: Assign at least one squad member to the Guardian Skill Track when it drops—Rescue Pulse can completely change the outcome of chaotic firefights.
Multiplayer Maps: From Liminal Horror to Vertigo Skyscrapers
Multiplayer receives three core 6v6 maps:
- Primetime – a Japanese game show-inspired obstacle course
- Vertigo – a remastered skyscraper map built for vertical combat
- Liminal – a Guild procedure room that physically transforms mid-match
Liminal stands out most, with environmental changes driven by in-game “patient agitation” levels that reshape cover and sightlines in real time.
Top tip: Stay adaptable—Liminal’s shifting centre structure can instantly destroy defensive setups.
Black Ops Classic: Pure Nostalgia, No Modern Crutches
Classic multiplayer returns with simplified movement and stripped-back loadouts across iconic maps. Modes include Blueprint Gun Game, 6v6 Gunfight, and the new Black Ops Classic Moshpit.
Top tip: Without perks or advanced movement systems, positioning and raw gun skill matter more than ever.
Zombies Mode: Nuked Brings Claustrophobic Chaos
Round-based survival gets a twisted redesign with Nuked, a corrupted version of Nuketown expanding into a tightly packed undead nightmare.
The confined layout means constant close-quarters combat against relentless waves of zombies and Rad-Hounds.
Top tip: Prioritise early access to Pack-a-Punch, Wall Buys and the Arsenal system—survival past Round 50 rewards the “Time Out” GobbleGum.
Rogue Run: A New Roguelite Zombies Experience
A permanent roguelite mode arrives in Zombies with Rogue Run, where players begin with a basic pistol and gradually build power through randomized rewards after each round.
Players teleport between arenas, choosing from weapons, perks and upgrades under time pressure.
Top tip: Don’t hesitate when selecting rewards—timing is critical, and missed choices are lost permanently for that run.
Warzone Update: Fortune’s Keep Returns
The fan-favourite Resurgence map Fortune’s Keep returns with updated traversal mechanics and new micro-POIs, including:
- Sea Science Aquatic Laboratory
- Capt. Bubby’s Chum Haus
A key new hotspot is the Research Vessel, featuring the only UAV Tower on the map for early-game intel dominance.
Verdansk Chaos: 52v52 Clash Mode Returns
Massive-scale warfare returns with 52v52 Clash across nine Verdansk POIs, including Boneyard, Factory and Airport.
While eliminations contribute points, the fastest path to victory comes from:
- Capturing Domination zones (40 points)
- Completing Contracts (10 points)
Top tip: Team coordination wins matches—pool resources to unlock powerful streaks like the VTOL warship.
New Warzone Gear: Contracts and Survival Tools
Season 04 introduces game-changing equipment, including:
- Shadowlink Contract – access the Black Market via mobile satellite link
- Advanced Self Revive – rare item with temporary active camo on activation
The Advanced Self Revive provides a short invisibility window, allowing players to reposition and recover safely.
Whether you’re battling through Endgame story missions, dropping into chaotic Verdansk clashes or surviving Zombies’ most intense survival maps yet, Season 04 delivers one of the most ambitious updates in recent memory.
