The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 5 Reloaded patch notes are here bringing tons of new content. From Demolition returning, a new map, to more Zombies content, here is everything that you need to know for this mid-season update.

For the first time since Modern Warfare Season 3, fan-favorite game mode, Demolition,has returned to the CoD franchise. Alongside Demolition, the map Zoo, which was revealed with Season 5, is finally coming to Cold War.

On top of all of this Multiplayer content, Zombies also got a huge update. This introduced a new Outbreak Region, event, and LTM that were all set live as the patch released on September 9, 2021.

The Numbers Event is also coming to Cold War, this will allow players to complete challenges across multiplayer to unlock cosmetic rewards and a new melee weapon, the Sai.

Here are the full patch notes for Season 5 Reloaded.

Cold War Season 5 Reloaded: Demolition and Zoo return

The time has come for those that have been patiently waiting for two features coming to Cold War. Revealed at the start of Season 5, classic CoD game mode Demolition and Black Ops map Zoo are finally back in the game.

Demolition remains the same as it has in previous CoD titles. Attackers must try to destroy both bomb sites before the end of the round, while defenders must protect at least one site until the round is over.

Zoo is also back, but with some new features. Activision said to “ride” on the monorail so this suggests that the system is useable and will have a moving train that players can get on. You’ll need to jump in yourself and check out the reimagined map.

Cold War Season 5 Reloaded: Zombies Outbreak Region, Event, Rampage Inducer

Zombies was another focal point of the Season 5 Reloaded update. This update introduced Armada, a new region to Outbreak. Set in the North Atlantic Ocean, this map takes place near or on the water.

On top of a new region, a New World Event is coming as these “Black Chests.” Details about this are for “Requiem agents to discover,” so players will need to grind out and unlock the secrets of these new chests.

In round-based maps, the Rampage Inducer will appear in the starting areas. This orange essence canister will crank up the difficulty of Zombies to all-new levels. If all players accept the challenge, zombies will spawn at faster rates and will sprint until Round 20. The chaos keeps going until the second milestone is reached or death.

Cold War Season 5 Reloaded: Outbreak Survival LTM

The new limited-time mode, Outbreak Survival, creates a grueling but rewarding challenge for hardcore players. In this mode, players start with their Field Upgrade from their loadout and a 1911 handgun.

There is no auto-regeneration, so players must find food items to heal themselves. There is Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary which will restore different amounts of health based on rarity.

Players are still working toward the same goal as any other Outbreak game, complete the objective and reach the exfil site before dying.

Cold War Season 5 Reloaded: The Numbers Seasonal event and Melee Weapon

The highly anticipated Number Event is almost here. The seasonal event will begin on on September 21 at 10 AM PT and will feature different challenges that can be completed on Season 5 maps and modes.

By completing these in-game tasks players can unlock tons of cosmetics along with another arcade cabinet game. Additionally, those who complete all nine of the challenges (in Warzone or Black Ops Cold War) will unlock the new Sai melee weapon.

Cold War Season 5 Reloaded: Judge Dredd & Hudson Operators

Players have been waiting for an official announcement following the tease of a new operator coming to Cold War. Judge Dredd is confirmed to be available in Cold War with Season 5 Reloaded. Dredd, the crime fighter, will be coming to Cold War with a “Comic Strip” variant as well. This will feature a black and white cel-shaded skin.
