Season 05: A Heroic Hold on the Line
Season 05, dubbed “Heroes Hold the Line,” marks a thrilling continuation of the Rogue Black Ops team’s mission to crush the final Pantheon moles. Here’s the rundown of the key additions:
- Multiplayer Maps: Four new maps hit the scene. At launch, you’ve got Runway (a chaotic airport chase), Exchange (a vibrant Avalon marketplace), and World Motor Dynasty (a reimagined W.M.D. from the original Black Ops). Mid-season brings Jackpot, a casino-inspired map tied to the campaign’s “High Rollers” mission.
- New Modes: Kick off with Aim High, where headshots rule, and expect Snipers Only and Cranked Moshpit later. Mid-season adds Cranked Demolition, Ransack, and Blueprint Gunfight for variety.
- Weapons and Gear: The Battle Pass unlocks the PML 5.56 LMG and ABR A1 assault rifle, while events drop Boxing Gloves and the Gravemark .357 revolver. New attachments like the 9mm PM Skull Splitter barrel spice up your arsenal.
- Zombies: The Reckoning map at Janus Towers delivers the storyline’s climax, featuring new enemies like Uber Klaus and the bio-aetheric Gorgofex Wonder Weapon. Mister Peeks, a disco-dancing bunny Field Upgrade, adds chaos to the undead fights.
- Ranked Play: A new season of Ranked Play offers shark-themed rewards, including the Pro Reissue Jackal PDW blueprint for 10 wins.
This season’s high-octane action, launching new maps and modes, has players diving back into the fray. Check out the full details on the official Call of Duty site for more!
