Call of Duty fans are in for an immense content refresh with Season 5 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone, set to debut August 7 at 9 AM PST. Activision released an exciting trailer teasing this update showcasing new weapons, game modes, maps, and returning characters, as well as multiplayer modes like Multiplayer, Zombies, or Warzone that should make this August 7th update one of the biggest of 2019.

Here’s a complete breakdown of what to expect.

New Operators & Weapons

Season 5 will see the return of Sims as its star attraction. He can be seen in trailers wielding an all-new PML 5.56 light machine gun, which has been touted by developers as an alternative high-mobility option to the classic M249. Despite speculation to the contrary, however, developers confirmed this new weapon as something entirely separate from its classic M249 counterpart.

Also debuting this season:

ABR A1 Assault Rifle – Available at launch. A burst-fire weapon with excellent mid-range control.

Gravemark .357 Revolver – Drops mid-season. Expect a high-damage, slow-fire secondary for clutch takedowns.

Boxing Gloves (Melee)—Yes, literal boxing gloves. A fun, chaotic addition for close-quarters brawls.
