One of the key additions is the return of operator Sims, seen in early teasers wielding a new weapon, speculated to be the M249 LMG. However, developers have confirmed the gun is the newly introduced PML 5.56. Also joining the Season 5 arsenal are the ABR A1 assault rifle, available at launch, and the Gravemark .357 revolver, which will arrive mid-season. A surprise melee addition of boxing gloves to close-range combat will also be made available.
Additionally, the new season will bring three new maps, including a reimagined version of the iconic WMD battleground, to the multiplayer. Later in the season, players can access Jackpot, a high-stakes casino-inspired map based on Black Ops 4’s popular setting.
