Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 Reloaded – TMNT Crossover, New Maps, Perks, and More!

After being stagnated in Season 1 for far too long, it appears that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 is moving exceptionally swiftly. Today marks the arrival of Season 2 Reloaded, the significant midseason content update, for both console and PC gamers. This update brings a host of quality-of-life improvements to enhance gameplay experience and introduces a new crossover event featuring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Indeed, the event offers a new opportunity to purchase tickets. The Season 1 Squid Game event ticket seems to have been successful, even facing some criticism from players.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2 Reloaded — Multiplayer

To mark the TMNT crossover with Season 2 Reloaded, a fresh mode called Moshpit is being added to the playlist rotation. In this new setup, players will engage in team-oriented games like Team Deathmatch, Domination, or Hardpoint. Earning special scorestreaks becomes possible in these matches, and it’s important to note that working together as a team boosts your chances of scoring higher.

New limited event: TMNT Moshpit

Enabling scorestreaks for overall abilities provides players with a temporary health boost that lasts for 30 seconds, an improvement in health regeneration rate, faster movement speed, and extended melee reach.

During this phase, getting shot while attacking an opponent won’t make you stumble or slow down. Additionally, finishing moves can be executed from any angle. So, if you wish to defeat your enemies with a magical unicorn-style fart attack, there’s no need to approach them stealthily. Furthermore, you’ll acquire the abilities to double jump and air dash.

In this game, when you trigger the unique Turtle Power scorestreak, it activates one of several abilities related to the characters, which are assigned randomly at the start of each match. However, if you choose an operator skin that represents a specific Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle character, you’ll receive that character’s scorestreak ability for sure. Here are the abilities:

1. Leonardo – Stealth Drone: Deploys a drone to scout enemy locations.
2. Donatello – Shock Tower: Places a tower that emits electrical energy, disrupting enemies.
3. Raphael – Grenade Launcher: Fires explosive grenades at distant enemies.
4. Michelangelo – Bubblegum Bomb: Throws sticky bombs that detonate after a short delay, damaging and disorienting enemies.

Splinter: Vanish in smoke and teleport to a safe location behind enemy lines.
Leonardo: Gain the Tracker, Ghost, Vigilance, and Cold-Blooded Perks to navigate the map in stealth.
Donatello: See Operators through walls as well as Equipment, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks. Hack enemy Equipment and Field Upgrades.
Michelangelo: Drops a Pizza Box for your team. Players who eat a slice will deal Double Damage for a short time. Replenishes ammo and Equipment.
Raphael: Unlimited Shuriken.

New map: Bullet

This map, designed in the shape of a bullet train, essentially transforms into a long, narrow corridor that offers numerous opportunities for spawn kills by snipers or excessive LMG fire. While there is a possibility to escape your starting point by climbing onto the roof, this map generally encourages chaos and intense gameplay. Players will either adore it or despise it; there’s no middle ground with this one.

Remastered map: Grind Ooze

In this revised version: Turtles riding on half-shells in a skate park – it’s Turtle power! The much-loved skate park from Black Ops 2 is back, now adorned with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) graffiti all over the walls and floors. You’ll find all your favorite features such as the skate shop, indoor ramps, a half pipe, and an outdoor cradle, just like before. But this time around, there’s even more Turtle-inspired nostalgia to enjoy!

New perk: Hunter’s Instinct

In the lineup for Slot 2 in Enforcer (red) during Season 2 Reloaded, a fresh benefit has been introduced – Hunter’s Instinct. This perk will reveal the closest enemy after you successfully take down one. If you often find yourself pondering over how an opponent seems to know your whereabouts, get ready for that mystery to deepen!

New wildcard: Flyswatter

In the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 last November, they introduced a separate melee button; however, it seems that many of us strategic players prefer maintaining a safe distance from our adversaries instead.

In other words, developers from Treyarch and their partner teams have given us the option to change our melee weapons (originally restricted to knives, drills, or bats) with a handy launcher that allows us to destroy score-streaks more effectively in Call of Duty.

In the multiplayer mode of Black Ops 6, there are only two launchers available for equipment at present. Therefore, it is unlikely that this wildcard will cause many players to abandon their Perk Greed. However, it does provide an appealing alternate option.

Multiplayer patch notes:

Spawns
- Team Deathmatch
  - Adjusted spawning logic to reduce chances of flipping too soon resulting in less immediate flipping.
- Domination
  - Adjusted spawning logic to slightly reduce the stickiness and strength that zone ownership has on spawns. While we do want players to spawn near their owned zones, we also want to ensure that safe spawns can occur if enemies are advancing into your objectives.
- All Modes
  - Increasing the time that a death will affect enemy spawn positions. This should result in less immediate flipping.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2 Reloaded — Zombies

New limited time mode: Cowabunga Cranked

As a fellow enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that multiplayer aficionados aren’t hoarding all the TMNT excitement! In this unique crossover event, Zombies fans can dive into their preferred map from the current selection and gear up with their chosen loadout. Then, they can eliminate a tiny zombie to initiate the Cranked timer, joining the Turtles’ action-packed adventure!

After it begins, the countdown on the timer moves towards zero, signifying the end for the player, yet as they persist in slaying zombies, the timer – and the excitement – carries on.

During the game, you can discover various power-ups inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to assist in maintaining your heart rate steady:

Power-ups akin to those from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can be found throughout the match to help keep your pulse in check:

Or:

In the game, power-ups similar to those seen in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can be located to aid in keeping your heart rate consistent:

Each option maintains the original’s intent and flow while providing a slight variation in phrasing.

Turtle Power: Temporarily empowers the player with a health bonus and Pack-A-Punch 3 Legendary Melee Weapons
Pizza Box: Fills the Cranked Timer to max
Slice-O-Pie: Partial time added to the Cranked Timer

As a tech-savvy gamer, I’d gladly share that all players are equipped with Donatello’s Time Freezer enhancement. This marvelous feature grants you a full sixty seconds of temporal pause, providing a much-needed respite amidst the endless onslaught of the undead, before you return to your carnage-clearing spree!

As a diehard fan, I can’t wait to grab one of the TMNT Operator Bundles and dive into Cowabunga Cranked! The unique perk of being a Ninja Turtle operator is that you take 50% less damage from behind. When it comes to Splinter, joining him increases the odds of a Slice-O-Pie dropping. It’s like we’re living the TMNT dream!

The main missions are currently available, allowing players to dive into the Cowabunga Cranked mode across all four levels, with the goal of earning a unique Calling Card souvenir upon completion of these missions while playing in this mode.

New mode: The Tomb (Directed Mode)

In simple terms, after the trial period of Season 2’s latest Zombies map, The Tomb, has ended, it’s now open for everyone, especially those who might need a bit more assistance. This is where the Directed Mode comes in handy. Directed Mode limits the difficulty to round 15 and provides extra help like waypoints and objective markers. This way, players of all skill levels can immerse themselves in the ongoing storyline of Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode without any hassle.

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 2 Reloaded — Warzone

For Season 2 Reloaded of Warzone, there is less new content because the Call of Duty team is focusing on adjusting gameplay and resolving problems based on community input at the moment. But don’t worry, there’s still plenty to enjoy for free players!

New perk: Low Profile

If you’ve ever struggled to balance evading enemy fire while moving swiftly to avoid advancing gas in Warzone, this perk is perfect for you. With Low Profile equipped in Slot 1, players can move faster when crouching or being prone, adding an element of speed to your stealth.

Call of Duty Season 2 Reloaded — General changes

Regardless of which variant of Call of Duty you prefer, there are common enhancements that players in all three main modes can experience (or voice opinions about on Twitter, if they choose) as we move through the rest of Season 2. These updates encompass fresh weapons, operator packages, and additional features.

New weapons

Secondary weapon: D1.3 Sector
- The blade launcher from Black Ops 3 returns in this new variant for Black Ops 6 which lobs heavy projectiles at enemies. It can be unlocked for free during the TMNT event.
Melee weapon: Skateboard
- This free track reward from the TMNT event fits into your Melee slot, replacing the knife, baseball bat, or drill. There are no attachments, but you can customize it with skins.
Melee weapon: Katanas
- One-hit elimination katanas to fit in your dedicated melee slot. These babies pack a fast attack speed but are only good at short range. Unlocked via the Armory or by purchasing the TMNT blueprint via a bundle.
Melee weapon: Bo Staff
- Slow, one-hit elimination with a very long range compared to other melee weapons. Unlocked via the Armory or by purchasing the TMNT blueprint via a bundle.
Melee Weapon: Nunchaku
- Two-hit elimination, but very fast and good at medium range. Unlocked via the Armory or by purchasing the TMNT blueprint via a bundle.
Melee Weapon: Sai
- One-hit elimination, fast attack speed, but very short range. Unlocked via the Armory or by purchasing the TMNT blueprint via a bundle.
Weapon attachment: Belt-Fed
- Available for 4 LMGs; the PU-21, XMG, GPMG-7, Feng 82. This magazine attachment allows extra ammo to continuously be fed to the weapon during sustained fire at the risk of overheating. Unlocked via the TMNT even free track.

New event: Call of Duty x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) event for Call of Duty will commence on February 27 and run until March 13, providing ample opportunity for everyone to acquire some fantastic TMNT rewards without a battle pass purchase. The free track includes two operator skins from the Foot Clan, one regular and one undead, along with a few ordinary cosmetics such as a foot can spray and a pizza decal. Additionally, there’s the new skateboard melee weapon, belt-fed magazine attachment for LMGs, and the new D1.3 sector secondary to unlock, making it all worthwhile.

To acquire additional Turtle-themed weapon blueprints, a special finishing move, or to use Master Splinter as an operator, you’ll need to spend some real money – specifically, 1100 Call of Duty points.

New event: Clover Craze

If you’re not feeling lucky, you might be nearing the end of the season. Starting on March 13 and running until the conclusion of Season 2, Clover Craze takes over! In multiplayer and Warzone, you can snatch up gleaming four-leaf clovers from defeated enemies and supply crates. These lucky charms can later be exchanged for rewards, with one of them being the “Cloverleaf” blueprint for the Ames assault rifle.

Right now, you can play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Xbox, PC, and PlayStation systems. If you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you can jump right into this hit game – it’s set a new record as the biggest launch in the history of Call of Duty, and as a bonus for you, there are no additional costs to access it!
