The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 05 Launch patch notes open Season 05 with the new Jubilee multiplayer map set in a rural Japanese town, the Eidskallen Lighthouse Zombies survival map, and a weapon-balance pass led by an AN-94 nerf. Track the live Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 season countdown through Season 05.
TL;DR — 5 weapon changes: 2 buffs, 3 nerfs. Biggest buff: DS20 Mirage (Dual Fire Kit rework). Biggest nerf: AN-94 loses its four-shot body kill at max damage range. Meta impact: the AN-94's long-standing dominance eases as the reworked DS20 Mirage and a buffed M8A1 gain viability.
