Black Ops 6 & Zombies Season 4 Early Patch Notes: New Multiplayer Maps, Modes & Grief Returns!

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 isn’t slowing down, and Season 4 is shaping up to be one of the biggest yet. Early patch notes have dropped for both Multiplayer and Zombies, and whether you’re grinding ranked or surviving the undead hordes, there’s something for everyone in this update. Let’s break it all down:

🔫 Multiplayer Gets a Fresh Shot in the Arm

New Maps Incoming:

"Steel Vortex" (Core Map) – A vertical industrial plant set inside a spiraling machine press. Expect tight lanes, catwalk shootouts, and plenty of flanking routes.

"Breaker Point" (6v6) – Set on a windswept Arctic oil rig, complete with moving platforms and dynamic weather events mid-match.

"Lost Chamber" (Gunfight Map) – A claustrophobic temple ruin that forces quick reflexes and no room for error.

New Multiplayer Modes:

Payload Heist (NEW MODE) – A blend of Hardpoint and Escort, teams fight to control and move a mobile objective across enemy lines.

Rapid Duel – 3v3 gunfight-style matches with randomized loadouts every 60 seconds. Pure chaos, maximum fun.

Balance updates and gun tuning have also been teased, including nerfs to the LADRA SMG and adjustments to sniping flinch mechanics.

🧟 Zombies Season 4 – Grief Is Back and It’s Glorious

The long-awaited return of Grief mode headlines the Zombies update. If you’ve never played it, it’s essentially PvPvE mayhem:

Two teams, one map, and only one squad can make it out.

Grief Mode Highlights:

Team-based sabotage: Throw meat to lure zombies at enemies, block revive attempts, or fight for limited resources.

New Map – “Damnation Row”: An abandoned hellscape of a prison, where demons roam cell blocks and the final boss lurks deep in solitary confinement.

Chaos Perks: Randomized perk effects every round. One moment you're a tank, next you're a glass cannon.

Also teased: A new Wonder Weapon, called “The Choir”, rumored to use banshee-like sonic pulses that disorient enemies and explode zombies’ heads.

🛠️ Patch Rollout & Event Timing

While the official release date for Season 4 is expected early June, insiders report that a mid-season “Hellfire Event” is also in the works—featuring double XP, limited-time blueprints, and a crossover skin collab (yes, rumors are pointing to DOOM Slayer).

🕹️ Final Thoughts

Treyarch is swinging hard with Season 4, injecting adrenaline into both Multiplayer and Zombies with fresh ideas and beloved fan-favorites. Whether you’re jumping into new modes or flexing in Grief, this is the season to squad up or shut up.
