Summary
Activision and Treyarch revealed a slew of new weapons and operators coming inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Season 1, including those that will be available at the beginning of the season. Like previous seasons in the franchise,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6Season 1 will have a major mid-season update.
Black Ops 6Season 1will launch on Thursday, November 14 and bring new multiplayer and Zombies content throughout the season’s duration. New content additions for Season 1 include new maps, weapons, operators, and in-game events, along with bug fixes and balance adjustments. With just a week remaining before Season 1’s launch, theBlack Ops 6developers revealed in-depth details about what weapons and operators that players will be trying out in their loadouts soon.
Atthe beginning ofBlack Ops 6Season 1, players will be able to obtain the new Krig C Assault Rifle and Saug SMG as Battle Pass Page 3 HVT Tier rewards, along with the new Goliath and Sevati “Sev” Dumas operators at the start of the season. According toTreyarch’s blog post, the Krig C offers average handling with high damage output and predictable recoil, making it a powerful and consistent primary weapon once more attachments are applied. On the other hand, the new Saug SMG offers great mobility and handling, along with a high fire rate. One of the downsides of the Saug SMG is its high recoil, but the recoil may be mitigated by applying attachments to improve stability and accuracy. Players may try out these new weapons while testing out operators Goliath and Sev, which are obtained by upgrading to BlackCell and buying the Season 1 Battle Pass respectively.
Five more weapons will be introduced as event rewards during the course of the season, including the two new Power Drill and Cleaver melee weapons. Along with the new melee weapons,Black Ops 6players may earn the Maelstrom shotgun, AMR Mod 4 sniper rifle, and Sirin 9mm secondary weapon from in-game events in Season 1. Although the Maelstrom lacks power compared to other shotguns in its class, its rapid-fire full-auto capabilities make it a devastating option at close range. The AMR Mod 4 is the most powerful semi-auto sniper rifle in its class, with the ability to land one-shot kills across the upper body of opponents. However, the AMR Mod 4 is slow to aim and has high recoil.
The Maelstrom and AMR Mod 4 will be available once the mid-season update goes live, while the Sirin 9mm is an in-season event reward categorized in the game’s new “special” secondary weapon class. The Sirin 9mm is unlike any of the othersecondary weapons inBlack Ops 6currently, as it’s a foldable weapon with SMG characteristics, such as a steady full-auto fire rate.
The Replacer and Competitor CDL Home and Away operators will be available in store bundles sometime after the season begins, according totheBlack Ops 6Season 1 roadmap. Treyarch did not share specific release dates on most of the new weapons and operators, but the developers will likely reveal more details and dedicated patch notes once the new content is ready.
