Black Ops 7 Season 5 Reloaded Update Live via Patch 2.04
New Map
Turbo Tilt (2v2, 6v6)
- Celebrate the history of Nuketown as Operators enter the Nuketown Turbo Era Rampage pinball machine hosted by Archie Atom. This fun-sized map is packed with callouts to the infamous cul-de-sac, including the Bus, a view from the House, the desert landscape, and the blast itself in the center where a mushroom cloud rises over action.
New Weapon
Mace (Melee, Weekly Challenge Reward)
- Melee weapon. High damage, long range, and slow attack speed.
- Swing at enemies with a massive two-handed Mace offering a long lunge distance with a slower downtime between swings. Take aim and crush your foes.
New Attachments
RK-9 Calibrated Strike System (RK-9 SMG, Weekly Challenge Reward)
- Calibrated barrel paired with specialized bloom rounds that expand mid-flight and deal maximum damage when fired within a specific range. Includes an indicator to prompt the user when they are within that ideal range.
Peacekeeper MK1 Gauss Accelerator (Peacekeeper MK1 Assault Rifle, Weekly Challenge Reward)
- Heavy metal projectiles are accelerated to lethal velocity through a series of electromagnetic coils. Silently fires two projectiles at once with improved ballistics but harms overall handling and mobility.
Cranked Moshpit
- Your life ends when the timer does in Cranked, the action-packed game mode where eliminating enemies activates Cranked mode, awarding Operator buffs while setting the timer in motion. Keep slaying and playing the objective to add more time. Hit zero and you explode.
- Earn the following buffs for reaching killstreak milestones in each life:
- 1-streak: Increased Movement and reduced Field Upgrade Recharge
- 2-streak: Improved Hip Fire Accuracy and Increased Sprint to Fire
- 3-streak: Increased ADS and Weapon Swap speed
- 4-streak: Increased Reload Speed and Equipment Refill on Kill
- 5-streak: Increased Score and Headshot Damage
