New Modes and Returning Equipment

A new mode called Takeover is coming to the game, and here is the official description: Two teams of six fight over three neutral territories, earning a point for each zone they control. The highest score at the end wins the game. When all three of the zones are captured, there’s a slight cooldown before all three territories move to a new set of locations within the map.

Thanks to the Fallout collaboration, the following modes are also coming to multiplayer:

  • S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Mayhem: A variation of the standard 6v6 Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint where players need to keep their radiation levels in check, and power-ups spawn around the maps.
  • The Ghouls: A variation of Infected with 24 players, where the Ghouls are the infected, and the Dwellers are the survivors. Dwellers must scavenge for perks and/or RadAway.

The following equipment from Black Ops 6 will be added to the game:

  • Shock Charge (Tactical)
  • Impact Grenade (Lethal)
  • Thermo Grenade (Lethal)
  • Morphine Injector (Field Upgrade)
  • Tactical Insertion (Field Upgrade)
  • Archangel Launcher (Scorestreak)
  • Combat Bow (Scorestreak)
  • Death Machine (Scorestreak)
  • Dreadnought (Scorestreak)
  • Grim Reaper (Scorestreak)
  • SAM Turret (Scorestreak)
  • Strategic Bomber (Scorestreak)
  • War Machine (Scorestreak)

Zombies

In terms of Zombies, here are all the additions coming in this second half that are not part of the Fallout collaboration:

  • Directed Mode for Astra Malorum

The Fallout collaboration brings a new mode called Project Rads, which is available in both Ashes of the Damned and Astra Malorum. In this mode, Feral Ghouls and Deathclaws become new enemies, and the crew is exposed to increased levels of radiation round after round. The healing methods are different, as players can recover HP through drops from enemies and keep rad levels in check.
