Here’s some of the content to look forward to in Season Two, dropping on February 25:

New Multiplayer Maps

New Multiplayer Modes

Six New Earnable Weapons

Season Two brings some serious firepower with the addition of six new weapons:

Unlock four more weapons — the R1 Shadowhunter, Machete, bolt-action ZRG 20mm sniper rifle, and the military tri-fold shovel E-Tool — by completing in-game challenges to earn the base weapon or by purchasing a bundle with the blueprint version when it appears in the Store.

New Zombies Experience: Outbreak

Interconnected with the Dark Aether storyline, Outbreak tasks players with objective based play across the largest Multiplayer maps in Black Ops Cold War.

Hunt down elite enemies using a satellite tracker, escort a rover that detects dimensional portals, or hold out against the zombies in confined Dark Aether regions — complete your objectives and get to the Exfil site. Will you escape via the chopper or take your chances in the Dark Aether portal for extra rewards?

New Field Upgrade: Frenzied Guard

Take the heat off your teammates with Frenzied Guard, a new field upgrade that on activation forces all undead creatures to attack the user for 10 seconds, during which time only armor will take damage.

Use Aetherium Crystals to upgrade Frenzied Guard with powerful modifiers, such as repairing all armor upon activation, increasing the ability’s duration to 15 seconds, and slowing normal enemies while active.

New Ammo Mod: Shatter Blast

Turn Heavy Zombies into mincemeat using the new Shatter Blast ammo mod, which makes all bullets deal explosive damage. Upgrade the skill to deal extra explosive damage to nearby enemies, knock down normal enemies, and to double the size of the blast.

Upgrade Your Skills to Tier IV and V

Two new Aetherium Crystal types — refined and flawless — can now be earned and used to upgrade your skills into tier IV and V. Chase high rounds in traditional Zombies or complete multiple Outbreak experiments in a single run to get a chance at earning these new crystals.

New Game Modes, Points of Interest in Warzone

The new season brings a fresh loot pool to Warzone, including the new Season Two weapons and operators. Plus, play new game modes and explore two new points of interest in Verdansk.

In Exfiltration, players must locate a portable radio within Verdansk and hold onto it for a set period of time to win the game. The player holding the radio is marked on the Tac Map along with a timer indicating how much longer until they win. Gear up for a frenetic fight in Rebirth Island Resurgence Extreme, a limited-time mode supporting up to 90 players.

As for the new points of interest, initial intel suggests that a cargo tanker has gone off the radar, while murmurs around Verdansk indicate that something is happening below its surface. Explore these new areas at your own risk.

New Battle Pass, Prestige Levels, and More

Season Two brings all this and more with a fresh Battle Pass, four new playable operators — Naga, Maxis, Wolf, and Rivas — new prestige levels, the Death Machine Scorestreak, Outbreak vehicles, a new set of multiplayer and Zombies challenges, and more.
