CoD: Black Ops 6 And Warzone Season 2 Reloaded Start Date And Details

The Season 2 Reloaded update for Call of Duty arrives in Black Ops 6 and Warzone later this month, and here you'll find everything rumored and announced so far. This includes new melee weapons, more maps, and limited-time events. There's even a rumor of a potential TMNT crossover this season.

Call of Duty Season 2 Reloaded start times

Based on the days left for the Season 2 battle pass, the midseason "Reloaded" update should arrive around Thursday, February 20. These seasonal updates usually go live around 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST across all platforms.

What to expect from Season 2 Reloaded

Call of Duty's midseason updates include more game modes, limited-time events, and quality-of-life updates across all modes.

At the start of Season 2, Activision teased that a melee-focused set of new weapons would be revealed for the midseason update. There is also a St. Patrick's Day: Clover Craze holiday event, and more details should arrive closer to the update.

Season 2 is themed around ninjas, and multiple dataminers suggest that a TMNT-themed crossover is planned for the midseason update. This is rumored to have an event and limited-time game mode themed around the turtles. Rumored operator bundles for the skateboarding, pizza-eating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fit the theme of this midseason update, as we have a set of teased melee weapons and the return of Call of Duty's Grind skatepark map.

Dual katanas were teased in promos for the launch of Season 2, with the additional melee weapons rumored to be a pair of sais, nunchucks, a bo staff, and a skateboard.

Call of Duty previously had a TMNT collab with the Shredder operator bundle introduced in 2022's Modern Warfare 2, but the crossover felt odd without mention of the turtles themselves.

Black Ops 6 multiplayer

Season 2 Reloaded includes two more multiplayer maps: Bullet and Grind. Bullet is a new map that takes place on a moving bullet train, and this will be available in 6v6 playlists as well as 2v2 Gunfight. Grind is the 6v6 skatepark map originally from Black Ops 2.

The update also adds a new perk. The Hunter's Instinct is an Enforcer perk in slot two, which, when equipped, will mark the nearest enemy whenever the player eliminates someone.

Zombies

Players shouldn't expect a new Zombies map. The Tomb arrived with the launch of Season 2, so the midseason update will likely be focused on quality-of-life updates for the map. However, there could be special limited-time modes themed around the upcoming holiday or the rumored TMNT event, similar to the Squid Game mode in Zombies for Season 1.

Directed Mode also arrives for The Tomb, which is the guided mode that helps players complete the main story quest. Completing the quest in Directed Mode won't allow players to earn all the unique rewards, but anyone looking to complete the story quest for the rewards can use our full guide for The Tomb main Easter egg quest here.

Warzone

Activision hasn't included many midseason announcements for battle royale. However, the update will add a new perk in slot one called Low Profile, which enables players to move more quickly while crouched and prone, as well as move slightly faster when downed.

Most of Season 2 of Warzone is dedicated to game improvements and anti-cheat updates, and the developer previously confirmed some of the new content planned for Season 2 was shifted in order to focus on game updates.
