Black Ops 7 has been progressing smoothly since it was released, and while it does feel like other games have stolen the spotlight as of late, there is still anticipation around the new season.
Season 2 is now here and we're going to run over all of the new game modes that have been added this season.
Here's what we know.
Black Ops 7 Season 2: All New Game Modes
A new COD season means a ton of new content is about to be released for players, as we're once again in store for new weapons, maps and game modes.
Speaking of game modes, there are some new wacky additions this season, alongside some ones we've seen in the past.
The new game modes are as follows:
Safeguard (Launch)
Returning Mode
In this high-tension game mode not seen in many years, teams alternate escorting a non-combative robot into enemy territory along a set path. Fight off enemies to reach the robot’s destination near the defending team’s spawn. At least one Operator must be near the robot for it to continue down its path.
The defending team must work together to prevent the robot from reaching its objective within the round time limit. Stall the attacking team by downing Operators near the robot, halting its forward progress, and by unleashing damaging attacks on the robot itself, forcing it to shut down and reboot as the clock keeps ticking.
Successfully escorting or pushing back the robot awards a point to the winning team. If both teams score a point, Overtime begins, adding 60 seconds to the clock. The team who escorts the robot to its objective in the shortest amount of time wins the match.
Overdrive (Launch)
Returning Mode
Kick into overdrive in this charged up twist on Team Deathmatch, where every elimination earns stars that unlock powerful abilities, with medal-worthy eliminations awarding additional stars, based on the following parameters:
- Earn 1 star for Basic Eliminations.
- Earn 2 stars for Core Medal Eliminations.
- Earn 3 stars for completing Distinguished Medal Eliminations.
Earning stars also grants special Operator abilities, including the following:
- 1 Star: Cognition Uplink: Increased perception to help you find your next target.
- 3 Stars: Hyper Speed: Increased movement speed to reach your target faster.
- 6 Stars: Ballistic Overdrive: Increased weapons handling to help you eliminate your target.
Acquiring all three buffs activates Overdrive, earning double the stars when eliminating enemies. If you get eliminated, or the elimination timer runs out, you’ll start back at your base abilities. The first team to collect the maximum number of stars wins.
Luck Confirmed (LTM, In-Season)
New Mode
Feeling lucky? Collect Lucky Pouches dropped from friendlies or an enemy to earn a bonus +100 Score for yourself and your team. The first team to collect enough Lucky Pouches will win the match and be the most prosperous in this Lunar New Year-themed twist on the classic Kill Confirmed mode.
Solo Hearts Moshpit (LTM, In-Season)
New Moshpit
Attention single players only: Expect a Moshpit during the days around Valentine’s Day especially for you, with respawn modes and a Party Size set to 1. All 6v6 maps will be available, with Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint in rotation.
Third Wheel Gunfight (LTM, In-Season)
Returning Mode
Who needs a date when you can grab your squad and dominate 3v3 with the return of Third Wheel Gunfight? The addition of an extra player on each side intensifies combat across the mode’s smaller map sizes. Will you spread out, maximizing map coverage, or stick together like lovebirds, winning or losing it all together as one?
Gauntlet (Mid-Season)
New Mode
Flex your skillset in the new Gauntlet mode, challenging teams to vie for victory over five different game modes, played one after the other. The team with the best results across all five modes is declared champion.
Similar to the Pentathlon mode in Black Ops 6, two teams of six compete through a series of modes. The first team to reach the Score Limit wins. The modes in question are Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, and an additional [CLASSIFIED] mode. The mode changes every two minutes, and modes are chosen at random.
Infected (Mid-Season)
Returning Mode
Jump into this fan-favorite Party Game and face off against the undead or become one of them. Eliminated survivors become infected. Infect everyone or survive to the end to win.
In the meantime, be sure to check out our Vulcan II TKL Pro, which is an exceptional choice for all FPS titles.
