Black Ops 7 Season 1 Reloaded Start Date & Time
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s Season 1 update launched with arguably the largest amount of content for any seasonal launch of any Call of Duty before it, setting high expectations for the remainder of the game’s post-launch content support. From the arrival of the Fate and Utopia Multiplayer maps, Astra Malorum stealing the show for Zombies, and a seamless Black Ops 7 and Warzone integration, Season 1’s launch was pretty strong.
With Season 1 now approaching its mid-season runtime, Season 1 Reloaded is just around the corner. However, many may be wondering when Season 1 Reloaded officially starts for Black Ops 7 and Warzone. Here is a breakdown of when exactly you can expect to see the Season 1 Reloaded update, along with a breakdown of all of its content.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 & Warzone Season 1 Reloaded Full Content Breakdown
New Multiplayer Maps & Modes
Season 1 Reloaded’s first massive content drop is the arrival of the second half of Multiplayer maps for Season 1. Three Multiplayer maps arrive with Season 1 Reloaded, including Yakei (6v6 and 2v2), the Meltdown remaster (6v6), and the Black Ops 6 version of Fringe (6v6). All maps arrive on day one of Season 1 Reloaded.
As for the arrival of new modes, only Takeover is slated to drop with Season 1 Reloaded. Takeover is a completely new mode that combines the rules of Domination with Hardpoint, where two teams compete to hold three objectives, which move to different locations after all three have been captured. The team with the highest score at the end of all rounds will be given the victory.
Astra Malorum Directed Mode, Zarya Cosmodrome Survival, & More for Zombies
Astra Malorum arrived with the launch of Season 1, but with Season 1 Reloaded, players can now play the space-bound map in Directed Mode. With the release of Astra Malorum Directed Mode, players will be guided through the Main Easter Egg Quest with clear objectives and round caps, making it perfect for casual players. Those who complete Directed Mode will get the Bushwalker Skin for Maya, the Directed Calling Card, and 5,000 XP.
Apart from Astra Malorum Directed Mode, Zarya Cosmodrome Survival also drops with Season 1 Reloaded on day one, allowing players to jump into Survival action on the Zarya Cosmodrome point of interest from Ashes of the Damned.
Endgame World Events & Updates
Two new World Events are arriving with Season 1 Reloaded. The only confirmed event is the Wraith Wing Event, which will have players taking on a VTOL that is said to be capable of cloning itself, according to the Season 1 blog. A fourth, unknown World Event is also set to release with Season 1 Reloaded.
Warzone Updates
As of right now, news on Warzone-exclusive content is pretty scarce, with no major announcements being made at the time of writing. However, Raven Software and Treyarch have teased anomalies appearing in different locations for mid-season, which will likely tie into unique in-game events and map changes, along with the arrival of “Win Streak” Camo Rewards.
New Mid-Season Weapons & Loadout Options For All Modes
Season 1 Reloaded sees the arrival of the second half of weapons for Season 1, bringing two new guns for players to unlock and wield. The Hawker HX Sniper and the Sturmwolf 45 SMG both arrive as Event Rewards for Season 1 Reloaded, with the Hawker HX likely releasing during the update’s launch window.
New attachments also enter the fray, each unlocked through the remaining Weekly Challenge updates for the rest of Season 1. These include the CODA Adaptive Discharge Mod, the M8A1 Auto Full Auto Conversion, and the MPC-25 Contrabloom Laser.
Aside from new weapons and attachments, additional loadout content from Black Ops 6 is also arriving in Black Ops 7 Multiplayer and Zombies. These include the following:
- Shock Charge Tactical
- Impact Grenade Tactical
- Thermo Grenade Lethal
- Morphine Injector Field Upgrade (Multiplayer Only)
- Tactical Insertion Field Upgrade (Multiplayer Only)
- Archangel Launcher Scorestreak (Multiplayer Only)
- Combat Bow Scorestreak
- Death Machine Scorestreak
- Dreadnought Scorestreak (Multiplayer Only)
- Grim Reaper Scorestreak
- SAM Turret Scorestreak (Multiplayer Only)
- Strategic Bomber Scorestreak (Multiplayer Only)
- War Machine Scorestreak
Limited-Time Events & Fallout Crossover
The final bit of content players can look forward to is the arrival of new Events, with at least two being confirmed, thanks to the fact that both the Hawker HX Sniper and the Sturmwolf 45 SMG are Event Rewards. The only confirmed Event for Season 1 Reloaded as of right now is a collaboration with the Fallout series, which brings three new Operators into the game: the Ghoul, Lucy, and Maximus.
The Fallout collaboration is likely to bring an Event Pass, with the expected release date for such a pass being day one of Season 1 Reloaded. However, as of the time of writing, no confirmation of an Event Pass has been released.
