Call of Duty is revealing details about its Season 4 mid-season update. The incoming update, set to launch later this week, is titled Season 4 Reloaded and will introduce a wide array of new content, including several free new weapons.
The joint fourth season between Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Raven Software's Call of Duty: Warzone is nearing its first month in. Season 4 has added a copious amount of content to the game, particularly in Zombies with the new Zoo region in Outbreak mode. Season 4 has also updated Verdansk, along with introducing new weapons, maps, LTMs, and more.
Detailed in a blog post on the official Call of Duty website, players will be getting their hands on a pair of new armaments in Season 4 Reloaded. The first weapon players will be adding to their arsenal is the OTs 9 SMG. A fully automatic submachine gun boasting impressive firepower and a high fire rate, this SMG's stats are similar to the Bullfrog, while edging it out in both categories. However, the gun's drawback is its limited 20-round magazine, although the OTs 9 does have unlockable 30 and 40 round attachments, making it more ideal for larger-scale modes. Players can unlock the OTs 9 via in-game challenges or can purchase it directly in the Inside Job Store Bundle.
The other weapon coming to Black Ops Cold War and Warzone is a two-handed melee weapon. The Mace looks to be one of the most lethal melee tools ever introduced in Call of Duty, able to inflict critical damage on command. This heavily implies that players will be able to bludgeon their rivals down with a single blow within Multiplayer, and can adeptly function as a crowd-clearing device in Zombies. The Mace joins over a dozen melee weapon options in Call of Duty: Warzone, and over a half-dozen options for Black Ops Cold War. Players can unlock the two-handed death dealer by completing an in-game challenge or via Weapon Blueprint through the Mystic's Scepter Store Bundle.
CoD fans will have plenty of new places to try out the new weapons, as the OTs 9 and Mace are just a small fraction of what Season 4 Reloaded's content consists of. Beyond the pair of free new weapons, the biggest piece of new content arriving with the midseason update is the new Zombies map Maurer der Toten. The new traditional map, set after the events of Outbreak's "Operation Excision," is introducing new zombie variants, along with a new Wonder Weapon, a Perk series veterans will recognize, and more.
Both weapons look like they can be useful across both Call of Duty titles, and within multiple modes. Fans won't have to wait long to check out all the new content, as Call of Duty Season 4 Reloaded launches this week.
Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War are out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
