COD Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded Patch Notes

The new Season 5 Reloaded update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone will be hitting the Call of Duty launcher soon, injecting the game with fresh content. With Treyarch’s eyes set on the upcoming Black Ops 7, the mid-season update isn’t exactly packed with new features. The same goes for Warzone as well, since the only addition worth speaking of is the returning Deadline LTM. That said, multiplayer fans have enough reasons to check out the latest season as it adds a new map and exciting events to partake in. With that said, here are the full patch notes for the Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 5 Reloaded event.
