A new content drop across all of Call of Duty’s modes is coming in the new season on April 2, and there’s a massive amount of stuff for CoDheads to look forward to, no matter what made is their favorite.
Here’s a look at the new content coming to Black Ops 7’s multiplayer and Endgame in season three.

Endgame updates
The PvE Endgame mode is going free-to-play for a limited time to begin the season, but there’s also new content coming to it as well. Players will be able to reset their Combat Rating or Skill Track, but a new feature called Operations sounds most exciting.
“Operations run on a series of strict objectives designed to be cleared across multiple matches,” Treyarch explained. “Secure rewards for every objective you complete and systematically power up your Operator for the fight ahead. Clear the final objective to finish the job and unlock direct access to the new Link Forger Glitch Fracture.”
Operations will include rewards like a new blueprint, emblem, XP tokens, and more. Elsewhere, there’s a new skill track, Minor ability, and Major ability to keep the mode fresh.
