Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone Season 06 is bringing back The Haunting for a new Halloween-themed content drop, introducing Haunted Hollow, Giant Infected, new Multiplayer and Zombies content, and a major collaboration with DOOM. The new season launches September 17, with additional rewards, weapons, events, and seasonal progression arriving across the two games.

The Haunting Returns for Season 06

The latest seasonal update puts The Haunting at the center of the experience, transforming familiar locations and playlists with Halloween-inspired content. In Warzone, Haven’s Hollow becomes Haunted Hollow, featuring supernatural changes across the map and several new gameplay opportunities.

Players can encounter a Ghost Train traveling through the area, Trick or Treat Pumpkins containing potential rewards, and a Low Gravity Zone around the Mansion. The seasonal environment also introduces various powerups, including Double Points, Full Armor, Full Ammo, Loot Master, Zarkour, and Undead Sight.

The changes are designed to make familiar Warzone locations feel different while giving players additional reasons to explore during the seasonal event.

Giant Infected Expands the Warzone Experience

One of the headline additions is Giant Infected, a limited-time mode arriving during the second week of the season.

The mode supports 64 players and divides them into Survivors and Infected. Eight players begin the match as Infected, while the remaining Survivors must gather DNA samples and work toward constructing a DNA Bomb.

Survivors can upgrade their fixed Loadouts while earning score through survival, eliminations, DNA collection, and objectives. Infected players, meanwhile, return to the battlefield after being eliminated and gain abilities such as unlimited sprint, powerful melee attacks, wall jumps, and increased mobility.

The two sides therefore have different objectives: Survivors must gather enough DNA and successfully detonate the DNA Bomb, while the Infected must stop them from completing the objective.

Haunted Hollow Adds New Gameplay Elements

Haunted Hollow is more than a visual redesign. The new seasonal version of Haven’s Hollow adds several interactive elements that can affect how matches develop.

The Ghost Train can temporarily phase into reality, allowing players to access Supply Boxes, a Buy Station, and a Mystery Box. Players can also discover Trick or Treat Pumpkins containing either useful rewards or negative surprises.

The Mansion's Low Gravity Zone provides another major gameplay change. Operators can jump farther and higher, avoid fall damage, and leave visible trails while airborne. These mechanics give players additional movement options during fights and rotations.

DOOM Comes to Black Ops 7 and Warzone

The seasonal content also features a DOOM-themed event pass. Players can unlock rewards inspired by the franchise, including the Doom Slayer Operator, Doom Guy Operator Skin, Crucible Blade, DOOM Shotgun, and Roc 20mm Special Weapon.

The collaboration adds another progression path to the seasonal content alongside the regular Battle Pass and other event rewards.

For players planning their Season 06 progression or looking for efficient ways to prepare their Multiplayer and Warzone loadouts, resources such as Buy Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies may appear in searches around the season. Players should always consider the game's rules and account-safety requirements when using any third-party service.

New Multiplayer, Zombies, and Endgame Content

The Haunting is not limited to Warzone. Season 06 also brings new and rethemed Multiplayer maps, a new Survival map and an expanded Rogue Run experience in Zombies, as well as the Forbidden Summoning Event in Endgame.

This broader content lineup gives Black Ops 7 players several ways to experience the seasonal theme instead of restricting the event to a single mode.

New weapons are also part of the season, with additional unlock opportunities tied to Weekly Challenges and seasonal events. The Black Ops 7 Camo Event adds another progression target for players who want to work through challenges across different modes.

Season 06 Adds a New Battle Pass and More Rewards

Season 06 introduces a new Battle Pass featuring Blackjack alongside additional seasonal rewards. Players can also earn content through Weekly Challenges and the new Camo Event.

Warzone's Season 06 update additionally refreshes Win Streak rewards. New Weapon Camos are available for reaching specific consecutive-win milestones across Battle Royale, Resurgence, and Black Ops Royale.

Black Ops Royale also receives a notable seasonal change: Season 06 is the final opportunity to play the mode and earn its associated Weapon Camos.

Anti-AFK Changes Arrive With the New Season

Alongside the seasonal content, Raven Software has made adjustments to the AFK detection system.

Players will now receive clearer on-screen alerts when inactivity is detected, while teammates can also see notifications when an inactive player is identified. According to the Season 06 patch notes, the changes are intended to provide clearer feedback before an inactive player is removed and to help address botting behavior that attempts to bypass inactivity detection.

These system changes are separate from the seasonal Halloween content but form part of the wider Season 06 update.

What Season 06 Means for Black Ops 7 and Warzone

Season 06 gives Black Ops 7 and Warzone a substantial seasonal refresh built around The Haunting. Haunted Hollow changes the Warzone environment, Giant Infected introduces a large-scale limited-time mode, and the DOOM Event Pass adds a separate set of themed rewards.

Meanwhile, Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and seasonal progression all receive new content, giving players multiple activities to pursue after the update goes live. The combination of Halloween-themed gameplay, new challenges, weapons, and crossover rewards makes Season 06 a significant content drop as the current Call of Duty cycle moves toward its next stage.

For players following Black Ops 7 updates, guides, and progression strategies, EZBUFF can also provide additional game-related coverage alongside the latest official Call of Duty information.
