Major Update Coming in February
The first seasonal update for Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone released last month on Dec.16. Well, prepare to jump back into it as Season One is set to get another major update in February.
Season One’s initial release included new operators, weapons, player progression, and Battle Pass rewards. The next major update coming on Feb. 4 will include a beloved 6v6 Multiplayer map and an all-new Zombies experience.
As far as new maps goes, players can look forward to two new additions. The first map, Sanatorium, is live now and will allow ten groups of four players to fight over objectives on land, sea, and air. The map description can be read below:
“Here in the Urals is a Soviet experimental health retreat – the focus of a clandestine investigation by NATO forces in September 1984. Low wooded hills provide cover for squads to gain reconnaissance over the main, roughly circular-shaped main “hotel”: a concrete, brutalist architectural behemoth flanked by lakeside structures and a large wooden dock.”
The next map is the 6v6 map returning from Black Ops II, Express. The map will be available in the Feb. 4 update and is described as:
“Express is a roughly U-shaped map featuring two train tracks looping around the transportation hub’s main hall. Players can expect plenty of close-quarters combat in the hall, but should note that its glass ceiling leaves it susceptible to enemy Scorestreaks.
Long-range combat can take place across the train tracks, especially when looking out from the skybridges on either side of the map. These areas are also great places to watch one of the high-speed trains bolt by the station on one of the tracks, where it won’t hesitate to take out any Operator who doesn’t mind the gap.”
The final major addition coming on Feb. 4 is the continuation of the Dark Aether storyline in a new Black Ops Cold War Zombies map, Firebase Z.
In addition to the Feb. 4 update, there will be new weaponry dropping this week and a new operator dropping next week.
The new weapon is none other than the Wakizashi, a companion sword to the Samurai’s Katana. The Wakizachi is available now and can be unlocked via in-game challenge, where it can then be levelled up for camos and XP. A Blueprint from the same weapon family is also available in the new “Disavowed Assassin” Bundle.
Next week, players can look forward to playing as the new Operator, Zeyna. Zeyna is a DGSE Mobility and Heavy Weapons specialist and can be purchased for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone as part of a Store Bundle during Season One.
The information shared here is just the tip of the iceberg as to all of the new content being added to Call of Duty’s Season One. You can read the full update details and projected timelines here.
