The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 06 Launch patch notes open The Haunting with the new Quantum and Bloodstead multiplayer maps, the Tenshu Zombies survival map, and a closing wave of Prestige Titles. Track the live Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 season countdown through Season 06.
TL;DR, 12 changes: 1 buff, 1 nerf, plus 2 new maps, a Zombies survival map, and a Halloween-themed Battle Pass. Biggest buff: the AK-27’s Battle-Scar Conversion Kit (Zombies-only). Biggest nerf: the Echo 12’s Pack-a-Punched Backlash Launcher Conversion Kit, toned down after trivializing Zombies boss fights. Meta impact: multiplayer weapon balance stays untouched at launch, with Treyarch promising a full tuning pass shortly after Season 06 goes live.
