In balance and gameplay updates, Vigilance immune to Scrambler after respawn is introduced, Decoy Grenade footstep audio is fixed, Hunter Bot targeting for the Needle Drone is adjusted, and multiple scorestreaks—including Deadeye Drone, RC-XD, Sentry Turret, Grim Reaper, Rhino, and SAM Turret—receive fixes to enhance consistency.

Endgame undergoes a major rework, becoming a directly locatable World Event with a Nightmare Zone spawn marked by a new map icon, while the event’s accessibility improves; Exotic weapon damage multipliers rise from 2.5x to 3.5x to boost Endgame viability, and Guild Bot survivability and the Activity widget disappearance are addressed.

The SG-12 shotgun is nerfed with reduced damage, diminished effective range, and a tighter ADS pellet spread to curb two-shot kills at mid-range.

Black Ops 7 Season 2 Reloaded launches midseason updates across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Endgame, featuring weapon balance tweaks, new maps and modes, and quality-of-life improvements.

Ranked Play adds Stay With Team to auto-form parties for Diamond and below, enables vote-to-forfeit at any time, and tweaks matchmaking to place Iridescent and Top 250 players together more often to preserve competitive integrity.

The XM325 gains improved resilience against scorestreaks, especially when paired with the Akimbo Titan Wield attachment, enhancing effectiveness against ground-based threats like RC-XD, Sentry Turret, and Watchdog Helo.

Zombies introduces Paradox Junction with balance changes, slows the Astra Malorum boss (O.S.C.A.R.) on higher rounds while increasing loot from Mega Death Machines, adds the Ultra Aether Tool to the Mystery Box at Tier 2+, and rolls numerous fixes across Perk-a-Cola, GobbleGums, field upgrades, UI, audio, and stability.
