Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded is HERE! March 2026 Maps, Weapons & Release Date
The Wait is Almost Over!
I can barely contain my excitement as Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded is set to drop tomorrow, June 26, 2025! After weeks of speculation and leaks, we finally have all the juicy details about what’s coming in this massive mid-season update. Trust me, this might be one of the biggest Reloaded updates we’ve seen yet, with new multiplayer maps, weapons, modes, and some seriously cool Zombies content that’ll keep us grinding for weeks.
The current Season 4 has been a bit of a rollercoaster with its fair share of bugs and performance issues, but I’m confident that Season 4 Reloaded is Activision’s chance to turn things around. With ties to the upcoming Black Ops 7 and a whopping 30 GB update size, there’s clearly something special brewing here.

When Does Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded Drop?
Mark your calendars! Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded officially launches on Thursday, June 26, 2025. Here are the exact release times for all major time zones:
- West Coast (PT): 9:00 AM
- Central (CT): 11:00 AM
- East Coast (ET): 12:00 PM
- UK (BST): 5:00 PM
- Europe (CEST): 6:00 PM
- Asia (JST): 1:00 AM (June 27)
The update follows Activision’s typical mid-season pattern, dropping exactly halfway through Season 4. With Season 5 scheduled to begin on July 24, this timing makes perfect sense. I’d recommend pre-loading the update if possible, as 30 GB might take a while depending on your internet speed!
New Multiplayer Maps
Eclipse – The Nightclub Showdown
I’m absolutely pumped about Eclipse, a brand-new Strike map that works for both 6v6 and 2v2 matches. Set in a shady underground nightclub, this map promises intense close-quarters combat with multiple levels and flanking routes.
Key Features:
- DJ Booth: Control the high ground from the elevated DJ area
- Dance Floor: Wide open central area perfect for SMG chaos
- VIP Sections: Tight corners and hidden passages for sneaky plays
- Neon Aesthetic: Dark atmosphere with vibrant lighting effects
This map ties directly into the Season 4 narrative where Adler and Stitch meet to discuss their uneasy alliance, only to be tracked down by Pantheon operatives. The environmental storytelling here looks incredible!
Fringe Returns – A Black Ops 3 Classic
The nostalgia is real! Fringe, one of the most beloved maps from Black Ops 3, is getting a complete visual overhaul for Black Ops 6. Set around the Rolling Hill distillery, this medium-sized map maintains its classic three-lane design but with some key differences.
What’s Changed:
- No Wall-Running: Reimagined for boots-on-the-ground gameplay
- Updated Visuals: Modern graphics bring new life to familiar locations
- Building Access: Multiple interior spaces for tactical positioning
- Classic Flow: The beloved three-lane structure remains intact
I spent countless hours on the original Fringe, and I can’t wait to see how it plays without the advanced movement mechanics. The street down the middle will still be a sniper’s paradise, while the side lanes offer close-range alternatives.
New Weapons to Master
Olympia Double-Barrel Shotgun
The Olympia is making its triumphant return for the first time since Black Ops 3! This powerhouse secondary weapon is all about devastating close-range damage.
| Weapon Stats | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Double-Barrel Shotgun |
| Damage | Very High |
| Range | Short |
| Magazine | 2 Shells |
| Reload Speed | Moderate |
| Best For | CQB Maps, Zombies |
Pro Tips:
- Use the Short Barrel attachment for improved mobility
- Cut-Off Stock reduces ADS time significantly
- Perfect for maps like Eclipse with tight corridors
- Aim down sights for tighter pellet spread
Pickaxe Melee Weapon
Time to get up close and personal! The Pickaxe brings brutal one-hit potential to your melee arsenal.
| Weapon Stats | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Melee Weapon |
| Damage | One-Hit Kill |
| Attack Speed | Medium |
| Range | Short |
| Movement Speed | Fast |
Both weapons will be available through in-game events, so get ready to grind!
New Game Modes & Events
Party Ops LTM
This is something completely different! Party Ops throws you into a series of randomized party-themed minigames where the player with the highest total score wins. While specific details are still under wraps, expect challenges that test:
- Accuracy and precision
- Movement skills
- Quick reflexes
- Strategic thinking
I’m hoping for some wacky, fun challenges that break up the usual multiplayer grind. Think Fall Guys meets Call of Duty!
Zombies Community Events
King of the Dead (June 26 – July 3)
- Eliminate zombies across any mode to earn points
- Climb the global leaderboard for exclusive rewards
- Perfect timing with the new Olympia shotgun release
Master of Grief (July 10 – July 17)
- Collect Essence in Grief mode
- Compete for top spots on the leaderboard
- Exclusive rewards for top performers
Zombies Updates
Starting Room LTM
This hardcore mode takes inspiration from the classic Moon map, locking players in the starting area with no access to:
- Pack-a-Punch machine
- Mystery Box
- Most Perks
- Wonder Weapons
It’s pure survival with basic weapons only. I’m expecting this to be brutally difficult but incredibly rewarding for those who master it.
Abomination Challenge
Get ready for a boss fight! This LTM takes place on a “warped” version of Liberty Falls where you’ll hunt down an ultra-powered Abomination. The map itself will be twisted and corrupted, adding to the horror atmosphere.
Grief Mode Improvements
Following player feedback, Treyarch continues to refine Grief mode with quality-of-life improvements. Recent patches have already addressed match length and zombie difficulty, with more tweaks expected in this update.
Warzone Updates
Resurgence Ranked Play on Rebirth Island
Finally! Competitive players can now grind ranked on Rebirth Island with a completely separate progression system from Verdansk Ranked. This means:
- Independent SR (Skill Rating) system
- Unique seasonal rewards
- Faster-paced competitive matches
- Separate leaderboards
New Limited-Time Modes
Havoc Royale
- 15-minute matches with 44 players
- Limited section of Verdansk
- Game modifiers with each circle collapse
- Adapt or die gameplay
Resurgence Casual
- Mix of real players and bots
- Perfect for warming up or practicing
- Standard Resurgence rules apply
- Great for newer players
Black Ops 7 Integration
Here’s where things get really interesting! The 30 GB update size isn’t just for Season 4 Reloaded content – it includes Black Ops 7 assets. Expect:
- Early teaser events
- Pre-order bonuses usable in Black Ops 6
- Potential operator reveals (David Mason rumors?)
- Asset pre-loading for smoother BO7 launch
How to Prepare for Season 4 Reloaded?
I’ve learned from past updates that preparation is key. Here’s my checklist:
- Free Up Storage Space: Clear at least 40 GB to be safe
- Update Your Loadouts: Current meta might shift with weapon balancing
- Complete Season 4 Challenges: Some might become unavailable
- Stock Up on Double XP Tokens: Perfect for leveling new weapons
- Join the Events Early: Community events have limited-time rewards
- Check Your Internet: 30 GB downloads can take hours on slower connections
What’s Missing? (Speculation Alert!)
While we didn’t get a new Zombies map this update (saving it for Season 5, apparently), the Shattered Veil cutscene heavily hinted at Janus Towers as our next destination. I’m also curious if we’ll see any surprise operator bundles or crossovers – that Beavis & Butthead collab came out of nowhere!
