Black Ops 6 Season 2 Reloaded patch notes

Here is everything new in the Black Ops 6 Season 2 Reloaded update:

New Multiplayer Maps

Grind Ooze (6v6)
The fan-favorite map first released in Call of Duty: Black Ops II returns for Black Ops 6 in the mid-season! Show off your best combat moves in the outdoor Half Pipe and Cradle or take your chances inside as Operators trade shots around the Store and across the indoor skate ramps, with TMNT decals, posters, and artwork spread across the scenery.
Bullet (6v6/2v2)
Sev and Rogue Team deploy to a high-speed bullet train to neutralize a key enemy target. Keep your eyes sharp when moving up and sweeping the carriages; the automatic sliding doors may reveal an incoming enemy at a moment’s notice. Climb up to the roof of the train to feel the whipping wind and marvel at the landscape flying by. Be ready to defend your spot up top and then drop back down behind the enemy line.

New Multiplayer Modes

TMNT Moshpit
Enter a game of Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Hardpoint and unleash ninja-level abilities and TMNT Scorestreaks against your enemies in pursuit of victory. These special Scorestreaks are earned by scoring as normal, but because the turtles work as a team, objective plays award an increase in the score.

New Weapons

The mid-season update brings new weapons to battle with, including a sawblade Secondary Weapon and five new Melee Weapons. Note that the base versions of the Bo Staff, Katanas, Sai, and Nunchaku Melee weapons will be available to unlock via the Armory at the start of Season 02 Reloaded.

Melee Weapons

Bo Staff (Armory or Bundle Blueprint Unlock)
One-hit elimination. Slow attack speed. Very long range.

One-hit elimination. Moderately fast attack speed. Short range.
Sai (Armory or Bundle Blueprint Unlock)

Nunchaku (Armory or Bundle Blueprint Unlock)
Two-hit elimination. Very fast attack speed. Medium range.
Skateboard (Event Reward)

New Attachment

New Perk

Hunter’s Instinct (Enforcer - Event Reward)
Eliminating an enemy will mark the next closest one. A narrow cone briefly appears on your mini-map after an elimination, showing the general direction of your next nearest foe.

New Zombies Directed Mode

The Tomb

Maps

Grind Ooze (6v6)
Bullet (6v6/2v2 Strike Map)

Modes

Search & Destroy

Spawns

Team Deathmatch
Adjusted spawning logic to reduce chances of flipping too soon resulting in less immediate flipping.
Domination
Adjusted spawning logic to slightly reduce the stickiness and strength that zone ownership has on spawns. While we do want players to spawn near their owned zones, we also want to ensure that safe spawns can occur if enemies are advancing into your objectives.
All Modes
Increasing the time that a death will affect enemy spawn positions. This should result in less immediate flipping.

LTM Highlights / Adjustments

Added TMNT Moshpit
Enter a game of Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Hardpoint and unleash ninja-level abilities and TMNT Scorestreaks against your enemies in pursuit of victory. These special Scorestreaks are earned by scoring as normal, but because the turtles work as a team, objective plays award an increase in the score.
General Abilities
After activating your Scorestreak, for 30 seconds, you’ll gain increased health plus fast health regen and increased movement speed and melee range. A HUD indicator will flash when an enemy is outside your view and being shot while running toward an enemy will not slow you down. You can perform Finishing Moves on enemies from any direction. Plus, gain the ability to Double Jump and Air Dash.
Turtle Powers
Using your TMNT Scorestreak also activates one of several different character-specific abilities. One of these abilities is assigned randomly to players at the start of the match:
Splinter: Vanish in smoke and teleport to a safe location behind enemy lines.
Leonardo: Gain the Tracker, Ghost, Vigilance, and Cold-Blooded Perks to navigate the map in stealth.
Donatello: See Operators through walls as well as Equipment, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks. Hack enemy Equipment and Field Upgrades.

Fail to eliminate a zombie before the timer hits zero and ka-boom! You’re gone.

Turtle Power: Temporarily empowers the player with a health bonus and Pack-A-Punch 3 Legendary Melee Weapons
Pizza Box: Fills the Cranked Timer to max
Slice-O-Pie: Partial time added to the Cranked Timer
