Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded is sort of right here, and regardless of which means to be a mid-season top-up of content material, it’s completely crammed. There are new multiplayer maps and weapons, occasions, a Christmas makeover for Nuketown, and way more, however the headline function is totally Citadelle des Morts – Black Ops 6’s third round-based Zombies map. From teasers, it already seemed like an epic new Zombies expertise, however after seeing all the pieces that’s been revealed about it in at present’s huge Season 1 Reloaded information dump, I feel it could find yourself being even higher than Terminus and Liberty Falls.
Black Ops 6’s two launch Zombies maps are hardly duds – Terminus is a brilliant atmospheric, secret-rich expertise, whereas Liberty Falls is a extra light-hearted however nonetheless difficult area that’s nice for grinding. Set in a run-down fort (which appears to be like completely beautiful, by the best way) in Black Ops 6’s fictional European microstate of Avalon, Citadelle des Morts appears to be like like it could trump the pair of them. The FPS sport’s new map options taverns, dungeons, a large cannon formed like a lion, and most significantly of all, 4 new Marvel Weapons that’ll make you are feeling such as you’re enjoying a fantasy RPG relatively than a co-op shooter.
Inside Citadelle des Morts, you’ll discover The Bastard Sword, a strong claymore that may cube up zombies and deflect incoming projectiles. Whereas it’s extremely robust, you’ll additionally have the ability to remodel it into one among 4 epic, elemental Marvel Weapons. There’s the fire-infused Caliburn, the electrifying Durendal, the Aether-powered Balmung, or the radiant Solais. Not solely do all of them look unimaginable, they’re essentially the most highly effective weapons you’ll be able to wield (that we all know of to date, anyway) in Citadelle des Morts.
On prime of this quartet of swords, the map is suffering from boiling oil traps which you can tip out onto pursuing zombies and set alight with fiery weapons and gear, reminiscent of Molotovs. The aforementioned Lion Cannon can also be at your disposal, and Treyarch teases that its objective could transcend blasting zombies. “What would occur for those who climbed inside it?” it teases. Factors of Energy can be discovered scattered round Citadelle des Morts, that are “otherwordly” manhole covers that sound like they’ll teleport you to some type of secret room or realm – given the title, it might properly be the path to the Pack-A-Punch machine.
There’s additionally a model new discipline improve referred to as Tesla Storm which you can add to your loadout, which sends out electrical power for ten seconds that connects to any close by teammates, beautiful and damaging zombies. A brand new Gentle elemental ammo mod can also be coming that may be an incredible additional therapeutic possibility in your staff. Citadelle des Morts additionally has a brand new Perk-A-Cola referred to as Vulture Assist, which we haven’t seen since Black Ops 2 many moons in the past. Vulture Assist basically expands the pool of loot that enemies can drop.
A very freaky new enemy sort referred to as the Doppleghast can be present in Citadelle des Morts, which is described as “violent” and “erratic” with lurching actions and excessive pace if it’s chasing you down.
In fact, the we’ll have to attend to see how compelling the primary quest line is and what number of new Black Ops 6 Zombies easter eggs are hidden inside the fort’s partitions, however from these particulars, trailers, and screenshots alone, I’m already received over by Citadelle des Morts. Black Ops 6 has already been a deal with for Zombies followers after years of mediocrity within the sequence, but it surely seems like issues are solely going to get higher.
