You ready for one final go-round in Black Ops 6? Let’s get spooky, then.
The Haunting returns in BO6’s season six, which is launching just a little over a month before Black Ops 7. Sporting horror icons like the Predator, Chucky, and Jason Voorhees, The Haunting turns out the lights and turns up the scares with new weapons, modes, and unlockables across multiplayer, Zombies, and even Warzone.
Here’s what to play when season six of BO6 drops on Oct. 9.

BO6 season 6 patch notes
The Haunting
The seasonal event The Haunting comes to BO6, Zombies, and Warzone, introducing spooks and scares throughout, like the Chucky Event Pass, where you can unlock the doll and his wife Tiffany as a playable operator.
Three new maps
Gravity (six-vs-six), Rig (six-vs-six), and Mothball (two-vs-two or six-vs-six) will round out the year of maps in BO6, while a seasonally spooky variant of Nuketown called Bootown will add spiders, skeletons, and Jack-o-lanterns around the classic map.
New battle pass
The Predator’s Jungle Hunter skin, along with a slew of other rewards, skins, blueprints, and more, will be unlockable in the season six battle pass.
Four new weapons
The Dresden 9mm SMG, Merrick 556 assault rifle, Chainsaw melee weapon, and X52 Resonator special weapon are joining BO6’s massive list of loadout options. The SMG is clearly the MP40 under a different name, and it, along with the AR, will be available for free in the battle pass, while the other two will come in-season.
New LTM: Slasher Deathmatch
Special seasonal limited-time mode Slasher Deathmatch will join the fray for season six, with two special variants: Jason (Friday the 13th) and Chucky (Child’s Play). Both of the iconic horror slashers will be available and playable inside the modes where you hunt down unsuspecting victims.
Warzone season 6 patch notes
Nighttime Verdansk and Rebirth Island
Who turned out the lights?! Spooky, dark versions of the Warzone maps will be playable during the seasonal event.
Zombie Royale
The classic Haunting event, Zombie Royale, is back in-season, featuring Zombies all over the battle royale map that you have to kill. If you die, you can turn into a zombie and revive yourself to get back in the game.
Casual Z
A casual version of Zombie Royale will feature weaker zombies along with bots that fill up the game with enemy players for a more laid-back experience.
BO6 Zombies season 6 patch notes
The BO6 Zombies story is over, but there’s still fun to be had.
New LTM: Haunted Havoc
“Haunted Havoc throws you into a relentless nightmare with lurking Mimics, treat-filled Jack-o’-Lanterns, and the chaos of a forced Rampage Inducer, making zombies faster and more aggressive right from the start,” Activision explained. “The undead are getting into the Halloween spirit, too, donning pumpkin heads in place of their usual rotting features, their eyes glowing right up to the end as they go down in a fit of evil laughter.”
New GobbleGum
- Jacked Lanterns (Whimsical): Zombies have pumpkin heads and make creepy sounds. Lasts three minutes. Not available to use in the Haunted Havoc LTM, as zombies wear pumpkin heads by default in that mode.
Leaderboard events
- Death Pit: Earn Essence in Haunted Havoc to climb the Leaderboard and earn rewards.
- Extinction Protocol: Get eliminations with Scorestreaks or while Field Upgrades are active to score points and progress on the Leaderboard.
