Season 2 kicks off soon
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Season 2 kicks off on January 28. The new season delivers a host of new content to the game, including more multiplayer maps and a handful of new and returning modes.
Five new maps for Season 2 have been announced, and in this gallery, we're running through all of them and explaining what they're all about.
Not all of the maps are totally new, however, as Season 2 delivers a remastered version of the Black Ops II map, Grind, which is set in a skate park.
Of the five maps for Season 2, three are coming at launch, with two more coming during the season. This type of phased rollout is typical for Call of Duty.
All of the Black Ops 6 multiplayer maps are free for all players. This has been common practice in recent years, but it wasn't always this way. Activision used to charge for individual map packs, and this was criticized for fracturing the playerbase.
As for the new and returning modes, players can look forward to a souped-up version of Team Deathmatch called Overdrive as well as the return of the always-fun Gun Game. There are two new Valentine's Day-themed multiplayer modes coming as well.
Click through the images in the gallery below to find out everything you need to know about the new Black Ops 6 multiplayer maps and modes for Season 2.
Bounty
A brand-new map for 6v6 modes, Bounty is a medium-sized multiplayer map set on top of a skyscraper. The lore of the map is that the Rogue faction are visiting the penthouse to celebrate previous victories, and the space is indeed themed around opulence. Players will find a gold-plated nightclub and a lounge with top-shelf booze.
Bounty
Activision says the "party is in the front, but business is in the back," referring to an office in the back room that is actually a place where a crime lord would torture his victims. This room is filled with "unpleasant evidence" of that.
"Race over the tarp and battle between the unfinished walls or move out to the Rooftop for a tactical breath of fresh air. Shoot the glass out from underneath your enemy’s feet on the Skylight, or race along the outer Ledge, jumping over the top of a neon sight to reach the other side, as Bounty has plenty of routes to learn if you aren't scared of heights," reads a line from the map's description.
Dealership
Another brand-new, medium-sized Black Ops 6 map coming for the Season 2 launch is called Dealership. This is a car dealership that is actually a front for black market criminal activity.
Dealership
The Dealership map has a car lot and a showroom, along with sliding doors that players can use to slow down oncoming enemies. Snipers are in for a treat, too, as the map as an administrative office with two windows that serves as a sniper nest. There is also a floor vent, which Activision said can be used to surprise enemies with an RC-XD.
Lifeline
Lifeline is a brand-new, small-sized map that will be available at launch for Season 2. It takes place in the middle of the ocean on a yacht named Lifeline. The ship is on fire, though, leading to some dangerous scenarios.
Lifeline
Lifeline is a very small map, so players can expect the lanes to funnel combatants together very quickly. The yacht has a gambling table, a disco room, and a bar.
Bullet
Bullet is a brand-new, small-sized multiplayer map coming to Black Ops 6 in the middle of Season 2. The map takes place on a fast-moving bullet train, so expect tight quarters and lots of action.
Bullet
Again, this is a very small map, so players should expect fast and frenetic encounters. Each car has automatic sliding doors, and cars include a first-class lounge and a dining car. There is a rooftop hatch, too, but Activision warns that players need to stay alert or they'll run the risk of getting jettisoned off the train.
Grind
Finally, Black Ops 6's remaster map, Grind, takes players back to the environment first seen in Black Ops 2. This map, which is coming sometime during Season 2 and not at launch, takes place in a skatepark, and it features both indoor and outdoor areas.
Grind
Grind features a massive skate bowl and half-pipe in the outdoor sections, along with lots of ramps. Finally, Activision teased that players can expect "an additional surprise related to this map, later in the season," so fans will have to wait to see what that is.
