Black Ops 7 Season 4 Reloaded roadmap: AN-94, Nick Cage, Kowakujo, and more

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 4 Reloaded brings a notable mid-season content drop across Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and Warzone.

The update introduces the fan-favorite AN-94 assault rifle, the new Kowakujo Zombies map, a Nick Cage-themed Event Pass, fresh maps and modes, new Endgame skills, weapons, attachments, and a variety of unlockable rewards. Here are all the new additions as well as returning content in BO7 Season 4 Reloaded.

All Multiplayer content in BO7 Season 4 Reloaded

Season 4 Reloaded adds two maps to the BO7 Multiplayer rotation. Zenith is a brand-new medium-sized battleground designed for both 2v2 and 6v6 playlists, while Launch—one of most popular Call of Duty maps—returns from the original Black Ops as a fully remastered map.

Two modes are also making a comeback. Team Blueprint Sharpshooter challenges players to adapt as weapon blueprints rotate throughout the match, rewarding elimination streaks with bonus effects. Knife Fight returns as a close-quarters 2v2 experience where only melee combat matters. Players who earn 10 Double Kills in the mode can unlock the exclusive “Combatant” weapon charm.

Meanwhile, Black Ops Classic is becoming a permanent playlist in Black Ops 7. The mode expands its map pool with Launch, Fringe, Hacienda, and Gridlock, giving players more opportunities to relive classic Black Ops gameplay.

All Zombies content in BO7 Season 4 Reloaded

The biggest BO7 Zombies addition is Kowakujo, a new round-based map set in feudal Japan amid a volcanic landscape. Continuing the ongoing Zombies storyline, the crew must battle Nyxara’s undead forces, rescue the Shadowsmith, and uncover the curse haunting Takeo’s soul.

Kowakujo introduces the new fearsome enemy, Oni, a redacted Wonder Weapon, the Ghostly Rifleman Trap support feature, and a new Main Quest packed with rewards and challenges.

Players can also jump into Kowakujo Cursed, a limited-time mode offering Pack-a-Punch camos, calling cards, and large XP rewards. Additionally, the new Hellping Hound Legendary GobbleGum summons a loyal undead-hunting canine companion to assist in both round-based Zombies and Dead Ops Arcade.

All Endgame content in BO7 Season 4 Reloaded

Season 4 Reloaded continues the BO7 Endgame narrative with Act IV: Operation King Killer. This mission sends players into Zone III and higher to locate and destroy the Central Command Node through a series of 10 escalating challenges. Completing the operation unlocks exclusive cosmetics, including weapon blueprints and camos. Finishing the mission with Samuels, Wei Lin, or Emma Kagan rewards a unique weapon camo, while completing it with all three characters unlocks an animated version.

The update also introduces the Guardian Skill Track, designed for those who want to absorb damage, protect teammates, and control the battlefield. Three new abilities arrive alongside it:

  • Psych Grenade (Minor Ability): Creates a cloud of hallucinogenic gas that causes enemies to become disoriented.
  • Fission (Exotic Skill): Eliminating elite enemies can trigger a powerful explosion that damages nearby foes.
  • Sleeper Agent (Nightmare Skill): Gives base enemies a chance to switch sides, attack nearby hostiles, and explode on impact.

New weapons and attachments in BO7 Season 4 Reloaded

The AN-94 headlines the weapon additions in Black Ops 7 Season 4 Reloaded. Last seen in Black Ops 4, the assault rifle retains its hyperburst mechanic, firing the first two shots at an accelerated rate before transitioning into a standard firing pattern. Joining it is the Executioner’s Duet, a dual-axe melee weapon that delivers high damage and fast attacks at the cost of limited reach.

You can also unlock three new attachments through Weekly Challenges:

  • XR-3 Ion Vulcan Minigun – Maximize control with this side-mounted foregrip that provides a focused hip fire with reduced spread and improved aiming movement speed. Blocks Optic Attachments.
  • DS20 Mirage Dual Fire Kit – Replaces ADS with high-powered slug rounds. Greatly improves hipfire accuracy, at a small cost to mobility. Blocks Optic Attachments.
  • Velox 5.7 Carbine Chassis – Pistol chassis that converts the Velox 5.7 to full-auto and gives improved range capabilities, at the expense of baseline handling. Unlocks underbarrel and stock customization options.

Events in BO7 Season 4 Reloaded
