This reload update is typical of Activision’s mid-season model, designed to reinvigorate player interest and provide new content to explore across multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone modes. In particular, Season 4 Reloaded introduces several new and remastered maps, fresh weapons, limited-time modes, and cosmetic collaborations. The rollout aligns with other recent COD updates and continues the trend of pacing new content throughout a season instead of front-loading it.

Map Lineup Updates
One of the headline features is the return of the classic Fringe map, a favorite from Black Ops 3, now reimagined with updated visuals. Set in a distillery environment, Fringe brings its signature mid-sized, three-lane structure back into multiplayer rotation. It’s complemented by the introduction of a new compact map called Eclipse, set in a neon-lit underground nightclub—ideal for intense close-quarters combat.

Additionally, several popular maps receive cel-shaded variants under the new CODtoons playlist. This cartoon-inspired style gives Nuketown, Babylon, Skyline, Stakeout, and Grind a pop-art twist that aligns with the broader aesthetic of recent content drops and ties into character crossovers such as Beavis and Butt-Head.

Weapon Arsenal Expands
The Reloaded update brings some fan-favorite weapons back into the fold, along with new additions. The Olympia double-barrel shotgun from earlier titles makes a return, offering powerful close-range firepower. Meanwhile, the new Pickaxe melee weapon adds brutal up-close kills to combat options. Both are tied to in-game events and likely tied to the crossover battle pass themes.

There are also conversion kits for existing weapons, such as a full-auto conversion for the SVD sniper rifle and a CQB auto kit for the TR2 marksman, giving players more flexibility in customizing their gear and loadouts.

New Modes and Events
Season Four Reloaded also introduces Party Ops, a lighthearted limited-time game mode packed with party-themed minigames like bo staff tag and musical chairs. These whimsical modes provide a break from traditional objectives and invite casual and competitive players to take part in something more relaxed and playful.

In the Zombies mode, new limited-time variants such as the Starting Room challenge and Abomination Challenge are introduced. The Starting Room mode forces players to survive in a small confined space against hordes with minimal resources. In contrast, Abomination Challenge drops players into a twisted version of Liberty Falls to face an enraged boss creature.

Cosmetic Crossover
Possibly the most surprising addition to Reloaded is the inclusion of Beavis and Butt-Head operator skins, fully cel-shaded to maintain their iconic cartoon look. This comes in conjunction with other nostalgic Operator skins and continues the trend of cross-media collaborations. Not everyone is thrilled—the skins’ bright visibility makes them stand out compared to more camouflage-focused Operators—but nostalgia and novelty appeal strongly to many.

Launch Timing and Expectations
The update launches on July 2 at 9 AM PT, with console preload likely beginning a few hours earlier, and PC preload starting one to two days beforehand. As the release clock strikes, servers typically go down for maintenance before content becomes available, so players should anticipate a brief outage window.

Overall, Season Four Reloaded aims to energize the community after a season marked by technical hiccups and disjointed content pacing. It refreshes the experience across all modes and prepares the game for the latter half of the season. Whether you are hungry for new maps, weapons, or modes—or just want to experiment with cartoon Operator skins—Reloaded has something to offer.
