Multiplayer: Turbo Tilt Brings Pinball Chaos to Nuketown
Turbo Tilt isn't just another Nuketown reskin. From what we've seen, it transforms the classic cul-de-sac into a giant pinball machine. Bumpers, ramps, and targets are scattered across the map, and you'll earn points for every environmental interaction. If you love fast-paced, chaotic fights, this map delivers. The layout still feels familiar, but the pinball mechanics add a layer of unpredictability. We expect this to be a fan favorite for players who want something fresh but recognizable.
Freerun: Descent returns as a new obstacle course. You'll race through seven zones filled with climbing, sliding, and jumping challenges. Operators who complete the course earn exclusive rewards. Based on our experience with past Freerun modes, expect tight timers and a few rage-quit moments.
Cranked Moshpit is back. Eliminate enemies to start a timer. Keep getting kills to extend it. Let the timer run out, and you explode. This mode rewards aggression and punishes camping. It's a great way to sharpen your reflexes before jumping into ranked play.

Zombies: The End of the Black Ops 7 Storyline in Rex Infernus
Rex Infernus is the final Round-Based Zombies map for Black Ops 7. The crew makes a last stand against the Warden, and the stakes are higher than ever. We tested the map during a preview event, and the atmosphere is tense. The map features tight corridors, open arenas, and traps that change the flow of combat.
New enemies include the Deathspinners and the Web Mother. Deathspinners close in fast with melee attacks, while the Web Mother shoots web projectiles that slow you down. The Titan Trap lets you smash groups of enemies, and Widow's Wine Perk-a-Cola traps foes in explosions of webs. The Fully Packed Ultra GobbleGum massively boosts your weapon's power.
New legacy weapons include the TR2 Marksman Rifle and the Olympia Shotgun, both available from the Mystery Box. If you're a completionist, you'll want to grind through the Main Quest in both Standard and Cursed Mode.

Warzone: Loaded Resurgence and Special Delivery Drones
Loaded Resurgence arrives as a Weekend LTM. This mode strips away the usual loot RNG. You drop in with a pre-set loadout, focusing on gunplay and positioning. It's a fast, skill-based variant that rewards precision.
Special Delivery Drones now fly over the map. Shoot them down, grab the loot, and survive. You'll earn exclusive Weapon Camos. We found the drones to be a fun distraction during mid-game lulls, but they also attract attention. Expect fights to break out whenever one appears.
Quickdrop Kits are tied to Most Wanted Contracts. Complete the contract, and your squad's redeploy timer in Resurgence drops significantly. This changes the late-game strategy, as teams can afford to play more aggressively.

Endgame: Last Chance for Free Access
Endgame is free to play until the end of Season 05. After that, only Black Ops 7 owners can access it. If you haven't tried it yet, now is the time. Invite friends, level up, and earn rewards through multiple Operations. The Burn Run Assignment is also continuing, letting you race through flaming checkpoints while dodging obstacles.

Mace Melee Weapon is the headline new arm. It offers long reach and high damage, perfect for clearing tight spaces. Weekly Challenges also unlock the RK-9 Calibrated Strike System and the Peacekeeper MK1 Gauss Accelerator.
The Last Call Event rewards Zombies-themed Operator Skins. The Freerun: Descent Challenge Event lets you compete for Emblems and Weapon Camos. Warzone players can jump into the Ranked Series event for exclusive rewards.
The mid-season store drop includes Ultra Skins, Reactive content, and Mastercraft Weapon Blueprints. Zombies fans should check out the bundles tied to Rex Infernus for a fitting sendoff.
