What to expect from Black Ops 6 season 3
Here are the top-line notes of what you can expect from what you can expect from Black Ops 6 season 3:
- Six new weapons will be added to Black Ops 6 in season 3. From when the Verdansk map drops on April 3, you can get the HDR sniper rifle and the CR-56 AMAX assault rifle, plus can nab the Kilo 141 assault rifle as a Warzone login reward. Kali Sticks are available as a new melee weapon, while the Nail Gun is available via event. Down the line, you’ll be able to get the Ladra SMG through a midseason event.
- Expect five new maps throughout Black Ops 6 season 3. At launch, Barrage and Firing Range (a remaster of a Black Ops classic) are available as core maps, while Nomad is a strike map. In a midseason update, expect Haven as a core map and Signal as a strike map, plus a Nuketown variant called Blazetown.
- Oh, now feels like a good time to add that skins based on iconic stoners Jay and Silent Bob are coming as well.
- And then, of course, is the big addition: Verdansk is coming to Warzone, where it’ll appear with graphical, topographical, and quality-of-life improvements over its previous rendition.
