Activision has detailed The Haunting, their latest seasonal update launching this Friday for both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone. The event seeks to add fresh Multiplayer maps and modes, a Zombies limited time event, night variants for Warzone locales, new weapons and cosmetics, and an in game store lineup featuring Jason Voorhees, an undead version of The Replacer, and Dek from the upcoming film Predator: Badlands.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, three new 6v6 Core maps arrive at launch with Gravity, Rig and Mothball Strike, alongside Bootown, a Halloween variant of Nuketown with spiders, skeletons and Jack o Lanterns. Slasher Deathmatch introduces asymmetric hide and seek rules, rotating players between slasher and survivor roles with scenarios themed around Jason and Chucky. A new season of Ranked Play is also available with updated rewards.
Zombies adds Haunted Havoc as a limited time mode where pumpkin headed enemies drop Jack o Lantern items and Mimic traps can catch the unwary. A new Whimsical GobbleGum, Jacked Lanterns, brings the seasonal flair to all modes, and two Leaderboard Events provide fresh challenges and rewards.
Call of Duty: Warzone’s Verdansk and Rebirth Island switch to nightfall versions with event specific surprises. Zombie Royale returns with updated undead abilities and map wide features, tasking squads to keep at least one living Operator to claim the win. Casual Z variants of Battle Royale and Resurgence mix human and bot Operators while adding regular and armored zombies across both maps. Ranked Play seasons also refresh for Battle Royale and Resurgence with new rewards.
Across all modes, four weapons join the arsenal: the Dresden 9mm SMG, Merrick 556 Assault Rifle, X52 Resonator Special Weapon and the Chainsaw melee weapon. Two attachments debut with the GPR91 Double Barrel Conversion and the GPMG 7 Muzzle Booster.
Event tracks and challenges grant themed cosmetics and unlocks, while the Season 06 Battle Pass and BlackCell tiers add haunted Blueprints, Operator skins, Calling Cards, Finishing Moves and Emotes, plus the Dread Operator in BlackCell.
