New Zombies map: The Tomb

Following the events at Citadelle des Morts, Weaver, Maya, Carver, and Grey must take the amulet secured at the Citadel to a cursed dig site and the ancient catacombs within. Professor Krafft indicated that the elusive Sentinel Artifact may be found in the tunnels below. Reports of paranormal phenomena go back centuries, possibly related to the presence of the artifact. If the team can secure it, there may yet be hope in releasing Samantha Maxis from her imprisonment in the Dark Aether.

New weapons

PPSh-41 – SMG (Battle Pass)
Full-auto submachine gun. Fast fire rate with impressive damage and high recoil. Moderate handling.
Cypher 091 – Assault Rifle (Battle Pass)
Full-auto assault rifle. Slower rate of fire balanced by great handling and excellent mobility.
Feng 82 - LMG (Battle Pass)
Full-auto light machine gun. Very slow rate of fire with great damage and handling.
TR2 - Marksman Rifle (Event Reward)
Semi-auto marksman rifle. Great rate of fire and respectable handling.

New attachments

Crossbow Attachment (Battle Pass)
Add some flare to your Primary Weapon with the Crossbow Underbarrel Attachment. The three explosive-tipped bolts detonate shortly after impact for an explosive finish, even if you hit just wide of the mark.
AEK-973 Full Auto Mod (Event Reward)
Convert the AEK-973 into a fully automatic weapon chambered in 5.45x39mm. The change gives the Marksman Rifle a steady upward kick; press slightly downward through sustained fire to stay on target.
Tanto .22 SMG Binary Trigger (Event Reward)
Alter the weapon’s typical full-auto firing mode to a specialized semi-auto function that fires a bullet when the trigger is pulled and when it’s released for rapid-fire capabilities. Blocks Barrel and Underbarrel attachments.

New scorestreak

War Machine (Event Reward)
Available In-Season, equip this powerful burst-fire grenade launcher with grenades that explode on impact.
The War Machine can also be accessed in Zombies at the Crafting Table under Support.

There’s no escaping this master assassin, known only under the alias Vortex. All biographical information for this Operator has been redacted.

A bounty’s been activated on the Rogue Black Ops team, and Nocturne is here to collect. Other than his incredible lethality on display, all biographical information for this Operator has been redacted.
The Terminator (Bundle, Crimson One, In-Season)
The ultimate killing machine arrives as The Terminator deploys from the future to decimate its enemies across Season 02. This brand-new Operator comes with two Ultra Skins inspired by the original movie. Take control of the cyborg assassin who first crashed onto the silver screen in 1984, releasing as a Store Bundle shortly after Launch.

New events

The Terminator (February 6 to 20)
Collect skulls to unlock rewards. Skulls are earned via eliminations in Multiplayer and Zombies, and by eliminating players and opening caches in Call of Duty: Warzone. Earn bonus skulls for eliminating enemies with explosive or fire damage.
Shadow Hunt (February 13 to 20)
