Season 6 The Haunting Release Date in Black Ops 6 & Warzone
Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 6 will begin on October 9th at 11AM CST, 12PM EST, & 9AM PST. Players can expect preloads to drop for most platforms 24 hours or a couple days before the launch of Season 6. There’s plenty of content to uncover here in the spookiest time of the year.
Black Ops 6 & Warzone Season 6 Global Content
This is all the various global content coming to every mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 & Warzone in Season 6 The Haunting. COD Fans can expect a TON of Halloween themed content with the release of Season 6 here in BO6 & Warzone. The Haunting updates are usually the most popular seasons in Call of Duty games.
New Weapons
Dresden 9mm – SMG – On Launch
This all too familiar SMG returns to Call of Duty in Season 6 of Black Ops 6 & Warzone. That’s correct, iconic MP-40 returns to players hands in Season 6! It packs very high damage rates, with recoil that’s easier to manage. It does have its’ drawbacks however, which is a slower rate of fire & shorter range. The slow fire rate is nothing new for MP-40 fans. You can unlock the Dresden 9mm through page 3 of the Battle Pass, or page 11 of the Battle Pass (Blueprint).
Merrick 556 – Assault Rifle – On Launch
The Merrick 556 is a fully capable Assault Rifle, that packs a punch, especially if you aim high. It also holds excellent range for long distance engagements. Recoil can be helped to get under control with a few different attachment options such as the compensator muzzle. You’ll be able to unlock the Merrick 556 from either page 6 of the Battle Pass, or page 14 of the Battle Pass (Blueprint).
Chainsaw – Melee – In Season
Fans of DOOM or Texas Chainsaw Massacre may be getting flashbacks as the Chainsaw returns to Call of Duty. Last seen as a retro weapon in a DOOM Bundle back in MW3, you’ll be able to cut down your enemies with this hulking weapon. Slash & hack your way through anyone who stands in your way. You’ll be able to unlock the Chainsaw through the Chucky Event Pass later in Season 6.
X52 Resonator – Special Weapon – In Season
This mysterious weapon will appear in the hands of operators later on in Season 6. This anomaly will be able to be wielded as a Full-Auto special weapon. It will have a high fire-rate, & decent range. This however, will be countered by very high recoil & lower damage. Three separate shard attachments can enhance the weapon even further. These are the shards & their effects:
- Orbed Eruption
- This will provide the weapon with multi-shot.
- Spiked Barrage
- This will provide the weapon with a lethal 7-round burst, however it comes at the rate of speed.
- Stone Escalation
- This will enable you to perform a powerful charged shot from the weapon.
You’ll be able to unlock the X52 Resonator as an event reward later on in Season 6!
Weapon Attachments
GPR91 Double-Barrel Conversion – On Launch
This attachment will add an entire second barrel to the GPR 91. This will give it the double tap affect, firing two bullets at once. This comes at the cost of fire-rate & a higher recoil. You can unlock this attachment on page 7 of the Battle Pass.
GPMG-7 Muzzle Booster – In Season
The GPMG Muzzle Booster attachment will improve the LMG’s rate of fire a syou continue to fire the weapon. It will have the same effect on the bullet velocity. This will bring the drawback of higher recoil. You can unlock the attachment as an event reward later in Season 6.
New Operators Coming in Season 6
The Haunting in Season 6 of Black Ops 6 & Warzone brings some MASSIVE crossover operators this year, as well as a frightening new BlackCell Operator. Let’s take a look at each operator coming in Season 6:
Predator – On Launch
Last seen in Call of Duty: Ghosts, the Predator makes a grand return to the franchise. The all-powerful trophy hunter from space seeks to add some new additions to the collection of skulls. For players who purchase the Season 6 Battle Pass, you’ll instantly unlock the Predator’s classic skin from the 1987 film.
Feral Predator – On Launch
Another variation of the Predator joins the classic in the Season 6 Battle Pass. This version of the Predator hails from the 2022 film ‘Prey’. You’ll be able to net this version of the Predator by completing the Battle Pass.
Dread – On Launch – BlackCell
This bone-chilling operator comes from the deepest parts of the afterlife to rain down fear on his foes. Dread wears a suit of cursed armor with a mouth in the center of his chest to devour enemies. You can unlock dread by purchasing the Season 6 BlackCell.
Jason Voorhees – In Season – Bundle
The one & only JASON VOORHEES makes his way into Call of Duty. With the appearance of Michael Myers a few years ago, it only makes sense that Jason would make his presence known. Sporting the iconic hockey mask & machete, Jason will be a force to be reckoned with later in Season 6 through a Tracer pack in the shop.

Black Ops 6 Season 6 Multiplayer Content
New Multiplayer Maps
Gravity – 6v6 – On Launch
If players looking for a unique multiplayer experience, Gravity may do the trick. Once you make it through the Reception area, make your way underground where the real action takes place. The Low Gravity Room will host unique & entertaining engagement opportunities. Aside from the Gravity Room, there’s also the Courtyard & Atrium to battle within, with a view of the facilities even further down.
Rig – 6v6 – On Launch
Battle your opponents at this run-down truck stop, complete with overturned rig, & destroyed Gas Station. There are various other points of combat in the map such as the restaurant or motel balcony. As serene as the surrounding mountainous environment may seem, don’t let it fool you. There’s chaos to be had everywhere.
Mothball – 6v6 & 2v2 – On Launch
Beneath the testing facility & low gravity room, Mothball lies beneath the previous labs in Gravity. Battle around golden statues in the main lobby, or duck into the observation wings to flank your opponents. The hallways may also provide different engagement opportunity. The map was heavily inspired by the BO6 Campaign level ‘Emergence’.
Boo-Town (Variant) – 6v6 – Launch
The spookiest time of the year has rolled around to Nuketown in the latest variant, Boo-Town! An infestation of spiders in one house, skeletons overtaking the other, with Jack-o’-Lanterns scattered everywhere. Frightening atmosphere rolls over the map, & players will need to face their fears.
New Multiplayer Modes
Slasher Deathmatch (Chucky & Jason) – On Launch LTM
Slasher Deathmatch will be an LTM where 2 of the 8 players will randomly be selected to wield the power of infamous slasher villains, and eliminate their opponents. Every match will last 4 rounds in total, & the two slashers will be chosen at the beginning of the game. The selection will cycle until all players have been chosen to be the slasher.
In either version of the LTM, Slashers will win based off of eliminating all survivors before the timer runs out. Similar to whistles in prop hunt, survivors will scream every 30 seconds. This will press players to stay on the move to hopefully survive to the end. Survivors can win if they’re able to survive till the end of the timer, or if they can eliminate all the slashers. Let’s take a look at each Slasher & their unique abilities:
Jason
- Rage Mode – Scorestreak
- Jason will gain immunity for a short amount of time to stuns, & survivors will have no detection of you until you’re near them. This rage mode will last only 5 short seconds, however will pause if in pursuit of a survivor.
- Teleport – Field Upgrade
- Jason will be teleported to an unexpecting & unfortunate survivor.
- Stalking – Passive Ability
- Jason will gain an frightening speed as survivors come into his line of sight.
- Loadout
- Jason’s loadout consists of his iconic Machete, as well as a combat axe.
Survivors – Jason Deathmatch
- Loadout
- Survivor loadouts will consist of no lethal weapons, & only a flashbang. The final survivor will be given a pickaxe to take out Jason.
Chucky
- Extra Lives
- Chucky has a total of six lives. Six different chances to eliminate survivors.
- Speed – Passive Ability
- This enables Chucky to move faster than the survivors.
- Loadout
- Similar to Jason, Slashers wield combat knives as well as a combat axe.
Survivors – Chucky Deathmatch
- Loadout
- Survivors will be given a shock charge, as well as a Molotov. These pieces of equipment will refresh over time. This refresh rate is faster than usual, & even quicker as the final survivor.
Black Ops 6 Season 6 Zombies Content
New Zombies Modes
Haunted Havoc – LTM – On Launch
Haunted Havoc has arrived in Black Ops 6 Zombies, & is bringing the heat! This LTM will prove to be a challenge even to the most experienced of Zombies players. Mimics are always on the prowl, Zombies are far more aggressive & faster due to a forced Rampage Inducer, & they will hit a lot harder, a lot faster. The Pumpkins adorning the undead heads will sometimes be dropped & can provide potentially powerful loot. These pumpkins can sometimes be mimics however, so stay alert.
Zombies health is reduced till round 15 for easier eliminations. As stated earlier though, their damage per hit will also begin to increase much faster as rounds progress.
This LTM will be available on all 6 round-based maps (Terminus, Liberty Falls, Citadelle Des Morts, The Tomb, Shattered Veil, & Reckoning). If you’re able to complete the Main Quest on each map in the LTM, you’ll be able to earn a set of 5 Gobblegums, an Ultra Gobblegum, & 15,000 XP per map.
New Gobblegum
Jacked Lanterns – Whimsical – On Launch
Jacked Lanterns will give zombies Pumpkin Heads, as well as make new & ominous sounds. It will last three minutes & will not be usable in the Haunted Havoc LTM. Zombies will have Pumpkin Heads by default in that LTM.
New Leaderboard Events
Extinction Protocol
This leaderboard event will center around getting kills while Field Upgrades are active, or by using scrorestreaks. The more kills you obtain under these stipulations, the better the leaderboard placement.
Death Pit
Players will be earning essence in the ‘Haunted Havoc’ LTM to climb this leaderboard event. Higher amounts of essence collected means higher board placement, & better rewards at the events end.
Extra event challenges can also be completed to not only improve your ranking on the board, but to also earn additional rewards.
Call of Duty: Warzone Season 6 Content
New Map Variants
Verdansk Night (Variant) – On Launch
Players will have their hands full as they battle for that first place position under the ominous night sky in Verdansk Night. Keep your head on a swivel, as operators just may have found new ambush points in the newfound shadows.
Rebirth Island Night (Variant) – On Launch
Rebirth Island receives a chilling variation this time of year. Night falls over the prison island, & players will be tasked with facing their enemies in the eerie darkness. New vantage & assault positions may be uncovered in the dark of night.
New & Returning Modes
Zombie Royale – In Season
The ever-popular LTM Zombie Royale has returned to Warzone in The Haunting, however this time, the Zombies have gotten a bit of a boost. For those who may be new to the LTM, Zombie Royale allows slain players to return as zombies after elimination. You’ll then need to collect Anti-Vials scattered around the map to return to life. Your main objective is to return to the field as a living operator. However, collaborating with your living team to eliminate enemy players doesn’t hurt, does it?
At various intervals of the Zombie Royale game, what’s called an infestation will occur & will resurrect all fully eliminated players (eliminated as zombies) back as undead foes. The last squad remaining with a minimum of one living player alive will claim victory of the game! Let’s go over some of the new Abilities coming to the undead side of the operators:
Mimic
Similar to how you can transform into props in the mode Prop Hunt, zombies are able to take the shape of objects within the map. Once enemies approach, you can spring into action for a quick elimination.
EMP Blast
One trick to take out living operators is to disrupt their electronic devices. Using your EMP Blast, you’ll be able to deploy an area of effect & destroy their equipment, slow them down, & disable their vehicles. Once they’re on the ropes, launch your attack!
Mutant Injection
A rare drop from eliminated living players is the Mutant Injection. Any players who’ve played BO6 Zombies will recognize this Support Streak. Using the Mutant Injection will transform Zombies into a battle-hardened Mangler. The Mangler will be able to use a critical swipe attack, charged jump which will stun players near the landing point, & the infamous Mangler Cannon. *It is worth noting that the Mutant Injection will change throughout the Season, giving players even more horrors to eliminate living operators with.
Player-Wide Feature – Portals
Various portals will be placed all around Verdansk that will allow players to travel very large distances in seconds. These portals will work in different ways depending on who enters them. For Zombies, the portal will teleport players to enemy living operators who aren’t in their squad. For humans, they’ll be redeployed high in the air away from the undead masses.
Field Upgrade – Haunted Box
Haunted Boxes can be located either in random loot caches, or on fallen operators. These boxes can provide a myriad of helpful supplies, but on occasion can provide a scare along with those same supplies.
Casual Z – On Launch
In a Hunting Twist on Battle Royale Casual, as well as Resurgence Casual, Zombies have now infiltrated Warzone once again. Now players will have to contend with not only players & bots, but the undead as well. The Zombies are not to be taken lightly, as they can swarm players if a large enough horde is gathered. Keep your eyes peeled when engaging other players, as you both might have an unexpected third party creeping up.
