Citadelle des Morts map

The headline addition in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded is the brand-newCitadelle des Morts map. Meaning Citadel of the Dead in French, the new map takes the Requiem crew to an abandoned medieval castle in Avalon.

Kevin Drew, Treyarch associate design director for Zombies,explained, “We’ve broken out of Terminus and discovered that we are looking for Dr. Krafft and the foremost reason is he is an expert on the occult and has direct ties to the Sentinel Artifact we are trying to track down which will help us.”

This map picks up the story after Terminus and Drew confirmed that all future updates will continue to follow this group and storyline.

Alongside the castle, you’ll get to explore the old-timey village while battling hordes of the undead. Plus, there’ll be a new enemy type stalking the ruined keep.

Season 1 Reloaded gameplay changes

Here is a list of gameplay changes coming to Zombies when Season 1 Reloaded starts.

Wonder Weapons

More than one Wonder Weapon will arrive with Citadelle des Morts and Season 1 Reloaded, and leaks suggest they’ll be theUmbral BladeandWunderwaffe DG-2.

According to data miner ‘alanthethird_90,’ theUmbral Blade will have four variantsbut they don’t know what they are yet. While theWunderwaffe DG-2has been seen in the game files, it’s hardly surprising after it appeared in the Liberty Falls trailer, but there’s no guarantee it’ll arrive with Season 1 Reloaded.

Jingle Hells

Jingle Hels was a limited-time Zombies mode in Black Ops Cold War, and Black Ops 6 marks the return of the game mode onDecember 17. This time, Liberty Falls gets a Christmas remake. Here is a list of some of the changes

New weapons

Three new weapons arrive in Season 1 Reloaded and are unlocked through events. Expect the full-auto Maelstrom Shotgun to be a deadly choice in Citadelle Des Morts and the other maps, but perhaps the AMR Mod 4 (essentially the Barret .50 Cal) will be another strong choice.

There will be sure to be plenty of smaller Easter eggs to find throughout Citadelle des Morts so in the meantime, check outall the ones we’ve found in Liberty Falls.
