Black Ops 7 Reveals Patch Notes for Big January 8 Update

By newsgame


Treyarch Studios has officially revealed the patch notes for the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1 Reloaded update, which is now available to download on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. With the midway point of Season 1 now upon us, Treyarch has deployed a mid-season update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 that not only adds some brand-new content to the shooter but also includes tons of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, balance adjustments, and more.

While Call of Duty: Black Ops 7‘s massive Season 1 update was one of the biggest content drops the series has seen for a long time, the game’s launch has been somewhat lackluster. The latest entry in the series, which is tied to the Call of Duty HQ app along with Black Ops 6 and Warzone, barely made any sort of movement in player count numbers on Steam when it launched in November. Fans were also quick to point out that Activision’s response to the release of Black Ops 7 was much more sombre than previous titles. While previous years had seen record-breaking statistics shared by the publisher, the 2025 release saw Activision thank players and Treyarch with no impressive numbers tied to the statement.

Call of Duty Releases Big Season 1 Reloaded Update

Although it is speculated that Black Ops 7 has had a somewhat rocky launch, that hasn’t prevented developer Treyarch Studios from staying true to its word and absolutely bringing it when it comes to major content updates. After an already massive Season 1 update last year, which added tons of new maps, weapons, modes, and more, the studio is kicking off 2026 with a bang as the highly anticipated Season 1 Reloaded update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone is available to download now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

According to the patch notes, which can be found further down this article, Season 1 Reloaded is filled with new content and changes for players to check out. The biggest addition for the mid-season update is Call of Duty‘s massive collaboration with Fallout, which brings new skins, limited-time events inspired by the post-apocalyptic series, and a new Nuketown map variant that brings the world of Fallout to the iconic cul-de-sac. The variant, known as Vault Town, has been sponsored by the Vault-Tec Corporation and features special air purifiers removing all the dangerous particles one would normally breathe throughout the Wasteland, allowing residents to enjoy the fruits of classic suburban living. As expected, the map features tons of nods and easter eggs from Fallout, including the Nuka-Cola bus, the massive power armor stored under glass in the Blue Garage, and more.

Season 1 Reloaded isn’t all about Fallout, though, as the update has plenty of new and returning additions. While the controversial Carry Forward feature was canceled for Black Ops 7 following player backlash, Treyarch does appear to be bringing some content from Black Ops 6 into the latest entry. The studio says a variety of returning Equipment, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks will be making their way into Black Ops 7 with Season 1 Reloaded, including the Shock Charge, Impact Grenade, Thermo Grenade, Morphine Injector, Tactical Insertion, Archangel Launcher, Combat Bow, Death Machine, Dreadnought, Grim Reaper, SAM Turret, Strategic Bomber, and War Machine.

Fans can also expect tons more, including a new 6v6/2v2 multiplayer map known as Yakei and the return of two iconic Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 3 maps: Meltdown and Fringe. For those who are eager to see which bugs have been fixed and what improvements have been made, the full patch notes for the update can be found below.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1 Reloaded Patch Notes

New & Returning Maps

  • Yakei (6v6/2v2)

    • Traverse the rooftops of Japan in this new small-sized map bringing Operators up high over the neon-lit streets of the city. Track down enemy targets through the maintenance passage and over a series of ducts, vents, electrical equipment, and other rooftop features, including Wall Jumps to leap after fleeing foes.
  • Meltdown (6v6)

    • This Black Ops 2 masterclass in map design returns in a stunning remaster as Meltdown comes to Black Ops 7 Multiplayer in the Mid-Season update. Go nuclear on the enemy team in the classic map featuring updated visuals, dynamic lighting, and the same intense moment-to-moment fights that cemented the map’s popularity.
  • Fringe (6v6)

    • Based on the reimagined version of the map introduced in Black Ops 6 Season 04, Fringe returns, giving players the chance to revisit the idyllic Rolling Hills distillery with new Wall Jump opportunities.

New Map Variant

  • Vault Town (6v6)
    • Drop into the suburbs of the future in this Nuketown map variant bringing the retro-apocalyptic setting of Fallout to the iconic cul-de-sac. Sponsored by the Vault-Tec Corporation, Vault Town features special air purifiers removing all the dangerous particles one would normally breathe throughout the Wasteland, allowing residents to enjoy the fruits of classic suburban living.

New Multiplayer Modes

  • S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Mayhem
    • Brave the Wasteland as its irradiated atmosphere descends on Multiplayer, blanketing each map in toxic particles as players engage in a 6v6 moshpit of Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint featuring S.P.E.C.I.A.L. buffs providing vital power ups. Keep your radiation levels in check to avoid adverse reactions. Thankfully, the HUD features a handy Geiger counter displaying your level of exposure at all times.
    • Acquire a variety of power-ups to improve your chances of survival in the harsh Wasteland. These power-ups are dropped by eliminated Operators where they fall, including:
      • Pumpkin Pie: Increased health. Even irradiated Operators need to eat now and then.
      • Nuka-Cola Cranberry: Score multiplier. Quench your thirst with the Wasteland’s most popular soft drink.
      • Jet: Increased overall speed. Highly addictive.
      • Psycho: Improved hip fire accuracy and headshot damage. Users susceptible to bouts of intense rage.
      • RadAway: Cut down your current radiation level. An essential item for curbing the effects of the Wasteland’s irradiated air. Rad levels also drop after eliminating enemies and are further mitigated when engaged with the objective.
      • Luck Bobblehead: Increases the odds of finding better power-ups and RadAway from fallen enemies. Secure one early for a big advantage. NOTE: All players wearing a Fallout-themed Operator Skin, including the two free Operator Skin rewards from the Fallout Event Pass, will start the match with this buff active automatically.
  • The Ghouls
    • Irradiated horrors swarm the surface as Vault Dwellers fight to survive a feral Ghoul outbreak in this 24-player Wasteland twist on Infected, where Vault Dwellers must scavenge for Perks and RadAway in an irradiated environment. Eliminated Vault Dwellers return as relentless Ghouls. Infect everyone or outlast the clock to win.
    • Vault Dwellers: Deploy with a full Loadout of items and three Scorestreaks—LDBR, H.A.R.P., and War Machine—to help face off against the horde. Vault Dwellers become exposed to higher levels of radiation poisoning throughout the match. Reduce your levels by grabbing packs of RadAway dropped by eliminated Ghouls along with other power-ups like Max Ammo, Full Power, and Insta-Kill.
      • Vault Dwellers who chain enough Player Ghoul eliminations in a row will gain additional enhancements, including increased movement and sprint to fire speed on the first kill, improved hip-fire accuracy on the second, increased ADS and weapon swap speed on the third, increased reload speed on the fourth, and double points and headshot damage after the fifth kill. NOTE: All players wearing a Fallout-themed Operator Skin, including the two free Operator Skin rewards from the Fallout Event Pass, will start the match with an active buff automatically.
    • Glowing Ghouls: Once the Infection timer begins, one randomly chosen Vault Dweller will become the first Ghoul, a toxic variant of the enemy glowing green with radiation, benefiting from increased health and the ability to instant kill enemies until they are no longer the only Ghoul in the match. On death, the Glowing Ghoul explodes, increasing the radiation levels of Vault Dwellers caught in the blast radius. Every time a player spawns as a Ghoul, there’s a random chance that they will spawn in as a Glowing Ghoul instead of a Standard Ghoul.
    • Standard Ghouls: Ghouls attack with their hands and are also equipped with Ninja and Tracker Perks with the Recon Combat Specialty. Ghouls who chain enough Vault Dweller eliminations can activate the powerful Deathclaw Scorestreak, transforming them into an even bigger threat.
  • Takeover (In-Season)
    • Fight over a set of three neutral zones in this new dynamic objective mode combining elements of Hardpoint and Domination into a brand-new competitive experience. Teams earn points for capturing a zone, which then disables that zone from the match. Once all three zones have been captured, they rotate to a new trio of zones following a short cooldown. Redouble your efforts with each subsequent shift of the objectives to achieve the highest score and win the match.

New Weapons

  • Sturmwolf 45 (SMG, Event Reward)
    • Full-auto submachine gun. Very low recoil and good headshot damage. Lower handling, mobility, and range.
    • For a quick, reliable SMG sporting an easy to control and recognizable recoil pattern, look no further than the Sturmwolf 45.
  • Hawker HX (Sniper Rifle, Event Reward) (In-Season)
    • Bolt-action Sniper Rifle. Fast handling and mobility. Higher recoil and flinch. Hold breath while ADS to steady.
    • With solid mobility and handling, this weapon is absolutely lethal in the hands of the Operator who can line up their shots and hit the mark.

New Weapon Attachments

  • Coda 9 Adaptive Discharge Mod (Weekly Challenge Reward)
    • Provides a faster fire rate with improved spread when fired off the hip and a slower fire rate with higher damage and range in ADS. Improves recoil control, but harms handling and mobility.
  • M8A1 Autostrike-X8 Conversion (Weekly Challenge Reward)
    • Convert the M8A1 into a fully automatic weapon with a fast fire rate and controllable recoil. Improves headshot damage and handling but harms ranged firepower, aiming movement speed, and spread.
  • MPC-25 ContraBloom Laser (Weekly Challenge Reward)
    • Removes virtually all hip spread and resists firing bloom. Improves non-ADS mobility with a significant damage range penalty. Provides Crossbar ADS with increased aiming idle sway. Blocks Underbarrel Attachments and Optics.

Returning Black Ops 6 Loadout Content

Get ready for a huge drop of extra Loadout options as a variety of returning Equipment, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks make their way into Black Ops 7. Overclocks are not a component of the following items, but their effectiveness in the field of battle remains undisputed:
Tactical

  • Shock Charge
    • A deployable electrical trap that sticks to surfaces and releases a pulse that stuns and damages enemies.

Lethals

  • Impact Grenade
    • A precision grenade that detonates instantly upon impact for quick, controlled eliminations.
  • Thermo Grenade
    • Deploys a volatile fuel-air mix that ignites after a brief delay, engulfing targets in a powerful blast.

Field Upgrades

  • Morphine Injector
    • Grants a temporary safeguard against fatal damage, triggering a Last Stand state. Teammates can revive you, or you can self-revive by securing an elimination.
  • Tactical Insertion
    • Marks a chosen spot as your next respawn location, ideal for maintaining pressure or rejoining the fight fast.

Scorestreaks

  • Archangel Launcher
    • A shoulder-fired launcher that deploys remote-piloted rockets, allowing precise strikes from afar. Fires two per magazine.
  • Combat Bow
    • A lightweight bow armed with explosive arrows that detonate on impact, leaving behind fiery zones of denial.
  • Death Machine
    • A heavy minigun with extreme fire rate, deep ammo reserves, and devastating penetration power.
  • Dreadnought
    • A heavily armed gunship outfitted with multiple cannons, rocket pods, and a Daisy Cutter payload for wide-area destruction.
  • Grim Reaper
    • A semi-automatic rocket launcher that fires up to four rockets per cassette-style clip, with rapid reload capability for sustained fire.
  • SAM Turret
    • Deploys an automated missile system that locks onto and destroys enemy aerial Scorestreaks.
  • Strategic Bomber
    • A stealth aircraft that unleashes a massive carpet bombing run over a designated target zone.
  • War Machine
    • A burst-fire grenade launcher that fires impact-detonated rounds from an oversized magazine for high-volume explosive firepower.

Astra Malorum: Directed Mode

  • Following the crew’s harrowing adventure through Ashes of the Damned, their quest leads them to a cryptic observatory located along the rings of Saturn. They must seek out a second Shadowsmith—an ancient denizen of the Dark Aether bound to the Warden’s will—while facing new dangers within the cosmic void.
  • To help you on your adventures in Astra Malorum, the Mid-Season update brings Directed Mode to the map, offering extra guidance and a max round cap of 15 when taking on the Main Quest.

Survival Map: Zarya Cosmodrome

  • Trapped in a strange land, a Soviet launch site is overrun by the forces of darkness. Will you fall to the horde, or obtain glory in victory? It’s all up to you.
  • Fight tooth and nail until you Exfil or go down in this Survival map based on an isolated location from Ashes of the Damned. The more rounds you survive, the more rewards you can earn:
    • “Cymballistic” Animated Emblem and 1,000 XP (reach Round 10)
    • “Zursa Minor” Charm and 2,500 XP (reach Round 25)
    • “Wonderbar!” Ultra GobbleGum and 5,000 XP (reach Round 50)

New Zombies LTM: Project RADS

  • Feral Ghouls and Deathclaws invade Ashes of the Damned and Astra Malorum in this Fallout-themed LTM, exposing the crew to increased levels of radiation with each passing round.
  • In this mode, the usual means of healing and earning Essence are replaced with a system of drops given by fallen enemies that assist the crew in staying fit, keeping rad levels at bay, and gaining vital resources. Loot drops in this mode include:
    • Food Items: Hold your nose and take a bite out of some food to replenish health. But beware, some snacks are irradiated! Eating them will increase your radiation level.
    • Bottle Caps: Instead of earning Essence for eliminating enemies, players collect dropped Bottle Caps to gain resources to purchase map items.
    • RadX: Take a swig of this to reduce your current radiation level.
    • RadAway: Remove all radiation from all players. Enjoy it while it lasts.
  • Crew members will experience adverse effects if they don’t properly manage their radiation levels. Check your Geiger counter to track your current exposure. At low exposure, there are no negative effects, while increasing levels will first reduce your movement speed and then your weapon damage, followed by a freeze on your Field Upgrade charge and a slow and steady health drain. Let it get really bad and say goodbye to your Perks.
  • Furthermore, reports have been trickling in regarding an Irradiated Deathclaw, though they’re likely the idle rumors of frightened Vault Dwellers. Reach higher rounds and more on both maps to earn rewards and an XP payout. Happy hunting.
