Here’s everything coming inBO6′s Season Three Reloaded update, a free update for all players on May 1.
BO6 Season 3 Reloaded early patch notes
New maps
Three new maps joinBO6’smultiplayer offerings with the update, includingSignal(six-vs-six or two-vs-two),Haven(six-vs-six), and a pothead repainting of Nuketown calledBlazetown. Signal is the most interesting one as it turns back the clock toBlack Ops 1and brings players back to the notorious Numbers Station from its legendary campaign.
New weapon: Ladra SMG
The newest gun inBO6is coming as a reward as an in-game event in Season Three Reloaded. According to Activision, theLadra SMGhas an “extreme rate of fire, excellent range, and low recoil,” and “headshots can help offset lower base damage.”
“What this SMG lacks in power it more than makes up for with a blistering fire rate that’s effective even in mid-range fights due to the weapon’s low recoil,” Activision said. “Consider an Extended Mag to cut down on reloads and aim for the head to improve your damage output. Pairs well with Scavenger and the Assault Pack, giving you the ammo reserves you need to keep up the pressure and continue spitting out damage.”
Weapon buffs and nerfs
Some slight tweaks have come for new guns like theKilo 141andCR-56 AMAX, which have had minor reductions to their medium damage range. Meanwhile, big buffs are inbound for the C9’s 10mm Auto 30-Round Mag attachment.
