Get ready to drop back in and load back up, a new Black Ops 6 update is set to arrive in Call of Duty.

Here’s everything coming in BO6′s Season Three Reloaded update, a free update for all players on May 1.

BO6 Season 3 Reloaded early patch notes
New maps
Three new maps join BO6’s multiplayer offerings with the update, including Signal (six-vs-six or two-vs-two), Haven (six-vs-six), and a pothead repainting of Nuketown called Blazetown. Signal is the most interesting one as it turns back the clock to Black Ops 1 and brings players back to the notorious Numbers Station from its legendary campaign.
New weapon: Ladra SMG
The newest gun in BO6 is coming as a reward as an in-game event in Season Three Reloaded. According to Activision, the Ladra SMG has an “extreme rate of fire, excellent range, and low recoil,” and “headshots can help offset lower base damage.”
“What this SMG lacks in power it more than makes up for with a blistering fire rate that’s effective even in mid-range fights due to the weapon’s low recoil,” Activision said. “Consider an Extended Mag to cut down on reloads and aim for the head to improve your damage output. Pairs well with Scavenger and the Assault Pack, giving you the ammo reserves you need to keep up the pressure and continue spitting out damage.”
Weapon buffs and nerfs
Some slight tweaks have come for new guns like the Kilo 141 and CR-56 AMAX, which have had minor reductions to their medium damage range. Meanwhile, big buffs are inbound for the C9’s 10mm Auto 30-Round Mag attachment.

New Perk
A new Recon Perk for slot two, Vendetta will be up for grabs for free as an event reward.
“On respawn, mark your killer’s last known position for a short duration,” its description reads. “Get a bonus score for eliminating that enemy. The Vigilance Perk counters being marked by Vendetta.”
New Goblin Mk2 attachment
Another event reward, the Goblin Mk2 7.62 Mini-Rocket Conversion turns the rifle into a full-auto weapon that fires rocket ammunition, offering splash damage at the expense of bullet velocity and fire rate.
New limited time events
Two events, Blaze of Glory and the Call of Duty Endowment Got Your Six event will be the main source of new content for players to grind through and unlock in the second half of season three, likely taking up the majority of May before a new season begins at the end of the month or beginning of June.
New BO6 Zombies content
For Zombies fans, the newest map Shattered Veil will have its Directed Mode debut in the new update. But there will also be a limited-time event called Zombies Snacks and the introduction of a new Field Upgrade, Frost Blast.
