CoD BO7 update today (25 June) patch notes

The full list of CoD BO7 Season 4 Reloaded patch notes are as follows, courtesy of Treyarch:

New and returning maps

Zenith (6v6, 2v2)

• In a last-ditch effort to reverse JSOC’s gains, The Guild assaults Karma’s sanctuary hidden deep in the jungle. The extravagant compound features everything the expert hacker needs, from state-of-the-art tech and security systems to high-end art and breathtaking architecture.

Launch (6v6)

• Deploy to a Russian rocket launch facility in Launch, returning from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops. At the start of the match, witness the massive rocket being lifted and moved into position over the Launch Pad, preparing for takeoff near the halfway point of the match.

New weapons

AN-94 (Assault Rifle, Event Reward)

• Full-auto assault rifle. First two rounds fire at a faster rate. Slower handling and mobility.
• The AN-94 makes its triumphant return. Last seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the Assault Rifle features a unique burst mechanism where the first two shots fire at a faster rate before settling into a more moderate fire rate.

Executioner’s Duet (Melee, Event Reward)

• Melee weapon. High damage, short range, and fast attack speed.
• Hack and slash foes with the dual-wield Executioner’s Duet. With an axe in each hand, be capable of unleashing a variety of slashing attacks designed to chop foes down to size. While the deadly weapon exhibits the shortest attack range of the current Melee Weapons on offer, it makes up for it with the highest mobility rating. Close the distance and start swinging.

New Attachments

XR-3 Ion Vulcan Minigun (XR-3 Ion Sniper Rifle, In-Season, Weekly Challenge Reward)

• Maximize control with this side-mounted foregrip that provides a focused hip-fire with reduced spread and improved aiming movement speed. Blocks Optic Attachments.

DS20 Mirage Dual Fire Kit (DS20 Mirage Assault Rifle, In-Season, Weekly Challenge Reward)

• Replaces ADS with high-powered slug rounds. Greatly improves hipfire accuracy, at a small cost to mobility. Blocks Optic Attachments.

Velox 5.7 Carbine Chassis (Velox 5.7 Pistol, In-Season, Weekly Challenge Reward)

• Pistol chassis that converts the Velox 5.7 to full-auto and gives improved range capabilities, at the expense of baseline handling. Unlocks underbarrel and stock customization options.

Returning Multiplayer Modes

Black Ops Classic Update (Launch)

• The popular throwback mode becomes a permanent addition to Black Ops 7 with Season 04 Reloaded, along with four more iconic maps from previous Black Ops titles joining the rotation. Starting on June 25, Black Ops Classic players can enjoy Launch (Black Ops), Fringe (Black Ops 3), Hacienda (Black Ops 4), and Gridlock (Black Ops 4).

Team Blueprint Sharpshooter (Launch)

• Adapt and slay in this 6v6 playlist featuring cycling Loadouts with Weapon Blueprints like the Heart-Stopper NX Ravager, Search Party MPC-25 SMG, the dual-wield Deadend Coda 9 Pistols, and other incredible Blueprints across the Primary, Secondary, and Melee Weapon slots.

• Push the attack and earn power-ups for kill streaks, speeding up your combat movements and unlocking a double score multiplier at a five-streak. The exact Operator bonuses are as follows:

  • 1 - Streak: Faster movement speed.
  • 2 - Streak: Faster reload speed.
  • 3 - Streak: Faster sprint recovery.
  • 4 - Streak: Faster aim down sights speed.
  • 5 - Streak: Double score.

Knife Fight (In-Season)

• Engage in 2v2 hand-to-hand combat in this close-quarters variant of Gunfight. From the H311-SAW to the Flatline MK.II and, naturally, the Knife and Ballistic Knife, Knife Fight challenges Operators to engage in an epic melee brawl.

New Round-Based Zombies Map: Kowakujō

“This place looks like my home, but it is... off. Like a painting created from memory. — Takeo Masaki

As the crew discovered in Totenreich, the Dark Aether is unraveling, the consequences of which would spell catastrophe for the material world. The crew must now free the final Shadowsmith and recover the mysterious World Seed.

Their quest takes them to the fractured slopes of a volcanic landscape where a crumbling castle harbors a smoldering mystery. Their mission? Face Nyxara’s undead army, liberate the Shadowsmith, and expose the curse that grips Takeo’s soul.

New Kowakujō Enemy: Oni

Steel your nerves and prepare to fight for your life when the Oni fixes on you with its glowing gaze. The yōkai embodies wrath and malice, and its pursuit of its foes is relentless, striking targets with a massive spiked kanabō while shrugging off blows with its heavy armor.

New Zombies Wonder Weapon: [CLASSIFIED]

Send the flaming undead back to their graves with a mystical new Wonder Weapon. What form will it take? Discover for yourself when Season 04 Reloaded begins...

New GobbleGum: Hellping Hound

Bring the fire to your side with the new Hellping Hound Legendary GobbleGum. When the horde gets thick, this relentless canine is the perfect companion to thin out their ranks.

• Zombies: Summon a friendly Hellhound to be your best friend. Lasts 5 minutes.
• Dead Ops Arcade: Summons three Hellhounds to do your bidding. They will last a round or until they die.

New Ultra-Rarity Mystery Box Weapon: PPSh-41

Face the burning horrors of Kowakujō with a new Ultra-Rarity Legacy Weapon arriving in the Mystery Box! Wield the infamous PPSh-41 SMG with stats rivaling a Wonder Weapon, including full Pack-a-Punch progression and Ammo Mod capabilities. Unleash hell on enemies with the weapon’s signature large magazine and rapid fire rate, perfect for keeping the heat at bay in the lava fields of Kowakujō.

New Endgame Operation: King Killer

In Act III, The Guild struck back against JSOC’s attempts to deploy a virus against their network, but through the efforts of Operators on the ground, the location of the Central Command Node was finally revealed. With the Guild network now fully exposed, it’s the perfect time to strike.

But it won’t be easy. From Step 1, Operation King Killer kicks things off with missions in Zone III or higher, starting with vehicular combat as Operators scour Avalon for anomalous data and other intel sources to help track down the location of the physical terminal housing the Command Node.

Earn new rewards as you complete the various Operation objectives, all while further empowering your Operator through additional CR gains.

In the final step, acquire access to the new Prime Target Glitch and face the Glitch Boss. Operation rewards include a new Weapon Blueprint, Emblem, Double XP Token, Restore Token, Loading Screen, and more, detailed below.

New Endgame Skill Track: Guardian

Stand your ground and turn pressure into power. The Guardian skill track makes you a frontline anchor, shrugging off damage, punishing attackers, and sustaining both yourself and your squad.
