Now, just weeks after the game’s release, Season 1 is on the horizon, packed with exciting new content, a battle pass to dive into, and ranked play. There’s plenty to look forward to, so let’s break down all the key details below.

When Does Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Start?

Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches on November 14, 2024, introducing a wide array of new content that's well worth the price of entry. Players can expect a fresh battle pass, a ranked season, a Blackcell update, Warzone integration, new maps for both Warzone and Black Ops 6 multiplayer, as well as a selection of new skins, modes, and weapons. Let's dive into everything that Season 1 has in store.

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Battle Pass Content

Season 1’s Battle Pass will feature 14 pages packed with over 130 unlockable items, including Blackcell-exclusive content. Players who purchase the pass will have full access, while those playing on the free tier can still earn at least two items per page.

Black Ops 6 Season 1 Ranked Season Details

Starting November 21, Season 1’s ranked season will elevate competitive play, offering substantial rewards. To participate, players must first secure a minimum of 50 wins in match play.

Once qualified, they can enter ranked mode and progress through eight ranks, from Bronze up to Top 250 - and Champion status if they remain in the top 250 by season’s end. Each rank offers a unique skin, and those who achieve Champion status earn an exclusive Ghost Rider-inspired flaming skull skin.

Black Ops 6 Season 1 New Maps and Game Modes

Season 1 delivers five new maps and a festive version of Nuketown. Day one features Hideout and Extraction, two medium-sized 6v6 maps, alongside Heirloom, a smaller Strike map suitable for 2v2 or 6v6. Mid-season, a remastered Hacienda, and a new map, Racket, join the lineup.

Towards the season’s end, a winter-themed Nuketown map will also make an appearance. New modes include Ransack, where teams compete to collect and stash gold bars, and the fan-favorite Prop Hunt, a high-stakes hide-and-seek mode where players disguise themselves as random items.

Black Ops 6 Season 1 New Weapons, Perks, and More

Season 1 introduces new guns, perks, and attachments. Key perks include Shadow, which conceals players from traps, and Shrapnel Radar, showing where area damage lands. The Hand Cannon scorestreak (earned at 900 points) offers high accuracy with one-shot power, while the High Roller Wild Card allows players to equip an additional scorestreak in 6v6 matches.

Among the seven new weapons are the Krig C assault rifle and the Saug SMG, with the Maelstrom shotgun and AMR Mod 4 sniper arriving mid-season. New attachments, like the Dragon's Breath for shotguns and burst-fire options for specific rifles, will also be available.

There could still be more to come with Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 when it launches on November 14, so stay tuned for any additional updates. For now, this covers everything you need to know about the exciting new content arriving in Season 1.
