  • Last Verified: March 2, 2026
  • Quick Answer: Season 2 Reloaded arrives soon in Black Ops 7 and Warzone, and the latter will be getting some major additions, including the anticipated Blackout experience.

Although the start of the season brought significant additions, like the return of Ranked Play and Winter Rebirth Island, Season 2 Reloaded also has some major additions in line for Warzone players.

While we wait for more information (and possibly a new roadmap), we have gathered all the details available of the season's second half so you can get up to speed and prepare accordingly.

When Does Warzone Season 2 Reloaded Start?

Season 2 Reloaded of Warzone is currently scheduled to start on Thursday, March 12, on all platforms. A new update with all the new content is set to go live at 9:00 AM PT (5:00 PM GMT).

After that, the season won't stay around for too much longer, as the battle pass screen suggests it will end on Thursday, April 2, at the usual time.

New Weapons

The mid-season content is set to add two new weapons to both Black Ops 7 and Warzone. Here are those weapons, along with a few other details:

  • Voyak KT-3 (Assault Rifle): Can be unlocked through an event.
  • Swordfish A1 (Marksman Rifle): Can be unlocked through an event.

Blackout Experience

One of the most anticipated additions for this mid-season update is the new Blackout Experience, which was first announced in September of last year at the COD Next 2025 event.

As the name suggests, the experience will try to replicate the feeling from Treyarch's battle royale mode, which launched alongside Black Ops 4 in 2018. As of now, the only confirmed feature is that players will drop on the map with wingsuits, just like in the Endgame mode from Black Ops 7.

The experience will be played on Avalon, which will finally be added to Warzone after only being available in the Endgame mode. It's unclear whether players will also be able to play a normal battle royale game in it, with the current format.

New Modes

Two new modes are dropping with the mid-season update, and below we have all the details:

  • Extreme Resurgence (Haven's Hollow, 100 players, Quads): All Resurgence rules, meaning regular loot, same gas circle activity, same contracts, and same public events. The only difference is in the size, with 25 squads instead of the usual 13.
  • Iron Gauntlet (Verdansk, Duos, 150 players): A variation of battle royale aiming to become a competitive mode. Here are the changes this mode offers compared to the standard battle royale:
    • Scarce resources: This is a high-stakes drop in a survival-focused environment where every decision counts.
    • Competitive Duos: The last squad standing wins.
    • Rapid Collapse: Circles collapse more rapidly than normal BR, leading to more frequent engagements.
    • Earn that loot: There are no free Loadout drops and Buy Station prices are increased. 
    • Don’t rely on a ride: Only Bikes and ATVs are available.
    • TTK Delay: Base health has been raised (from 150 to 300 units). Regeneration delay has been adjusted, and regeneration rate has been reduced; all designed to slow down TTK.
    • Loot rebalancing: Epic and Legendary weapons spawn less often, and Killstreaks as well as Cash drops are rarer. Weapons are from the Black Ops 7 pool. Common weapons usually start with extended mags and iron sights (primarily for ARs and SMGs). There are no Perks in loot.
    • Tough But Fair: One-hit kill protection is enabled. Stim shot has been removed.
    • Returning Mechanics: The Gulag, Contracts, and respawn mechanics are the same as the main Call of DutyWarzone Battle Royale mode.
