Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Season 2 Brings Maps, Modes, and Weapons

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Season 2 is the next major step in the games post launch support, bringing a broad set of updates across multiplayer, Zombies, and progression systems. Rather than focusing on a single headline feature, Season 2 spreads its content across all core modes to keep the experience feeling fresh for both casual and dedicated players. In contrary to Black Ops 7, Season 1, this season also brings more weapons, a whooping 7 new over the next few weeks.

This article serves as an overview of what Season 2 adds to Black Ops 7. Visuals, exact weapon stats, and balance numbers will be added once they are finalized.

Multiplayer Content Added in Season 2

Multiplayer sees a noticeable refresh in Season 2 with the introduction of new maps designed for different pacing and engagement styles. Some of these maps lean heavily into close quarters combat, favoring fast reactions and aggressive movement, while others are built around longer sightlines and structured objective play.

Season 2 also expands the multiplayer experience with additional game modes. These modes rotate throughout the season and introduce alternate rulesets, scoring systems, or match objectives that change how familiar maps are played. The goal is to keep the playlist rotation feeling dynamic instead of repetitive.

Zombies Updates and Seasonal Changes

Zombies continues to receive dedicated support in Season 2. Players can expect new Zombies focused content that either expands the existing narrative or introduces new gameplay twists through seasonal mechanics.

Alongside core Zombies updates, Season 2 adds new Zombies challenges and progression paths. These rewards feed directly into the seasonal unlock system, ensuring Zombies players are not left behind when it comes to progression and cosmetics.

Specifically for Zoimbie players, there is also a limited time, Zombie Exclusive event called MARS. Which is a survival type mode and feels a lot like a playtest for something bigger they might be working on, althought that is not officially confirmed yet.

New Season 2 Weapons and Unlock Methods

Season 2 adds four new weapons to Black Ops 7, covering a wide range of playstyles. All weapons are unlocked through seasonal progression or limited time content, with no random drops involved.

REV-46 (SMG)

The REV-46 is a full-auto submachine gun built around an extremely high fire rate. Its defining feature is a switchable stock that can be folded or unfolded, allowing players to change handling and recoil characteristics mid-playstyle. This makes the REV-46 particularly effective in aggressive close-range combat, while still offering some flexibility for slightly longer engagements. Unlock method: Battle Pass Tier 3 (free track).

EGRT-17 (Assault Rifle)

The EGRT-17 is a full-auto assault rifle that fires superheated rounds capable of ricocheting off solid surfaces. This unique ammo behavior allows for indirect damage potential in tight spaces and around corners, giving the weapon a distinct tactical edge compared to standard assault rifles. Unlock method: Battle Pass Tier 6 (free track).

HE11-SAW (Melee)

The HE11-SAW expands the melee category with a high-impact close-quarters weapon designed for aggressive play. While limited in range, it offers fast eliminations and pairs well with stealth-focused or mobility-heavy loadouts. Unlock method: Battle Pass Tier 10 (free track).

GDL Havoc (Special)

The GDL Havoc is a pump-action grenade launcher classified under Special weapons. Its grenades stick to solid surfaces and can be remotely detonated, allowing for trap-based setups and area denial. The weapon does not support ADS, reinforcing its role as a situational but powerful tool rather than a precision option. Unlock method: Season 2 Weekly Challenges, Week 1.

SG-12 (Shotgun)

The SG-12 is a semi-auto shotgun designed for well-rounded mid-range performance rather than pure point-blank dominance. It offers consistent damage output and controllability, making it suitable for players who want a shotgun that remains effective outside of extreme close quarters.

Mid Season Weapons

Both the Swordfish A1 (DMR) and the Voyak KT-3 (Assault Rifle) will unlock mid season. Most likely through more events. We are expecting these probably in Week 4 and Week 6, but this is unconfirmed.

Seasonal Progression and Battle Pass

A new season means a new Battle Pass, and Season 2 follows the established structure with both free and premium reward tracks. Players can earn weapon blueprints, operator skins, calling cards, emblems, and other cosmetics themed around the season.

Progression is shared across multiplayer and Zombies, allowing players to advance the Battle Pass regardless of their preferred mode. This unified progression system remains one of the strongest incentives to engage with multiple parts of the game.

Limited Time Events and Playlists

Throughout Season 2, Black Ops 7 will feature limited time events that introduce temporary playlists, unique modifiers, and exclusive rewards. These events are designed to bring players back regularly, as each event typically runs for a short window before rotating out.

Rewards earned during these events often do not return, giving them added value for completion focused players.

Black Ops 7 Season 2 in the Bigger FPS Landscape

Season 2 positions Black Ops 7 as a steady presence in the competitive FPS space, continuing Activisions live service strategy with consistent seasonal drops. For players who follow the broader FPS genre or long running franchises like Call of Duty, Season 2 is another example of how these games evolve over time rather than through isolated expansions.
