Call of Duty:
Black Ops 6 Zombies
is leveling up once again, and Season 4 is bringing back a fan-favorite mode that players have been requesting for years—Grief mode. But that's just the beginning. From new weapon mods to limited-time modes, there's plenty to be excited about when the update drops on May 29.
Let's break down exactly what's coming.
Black Ops 6 Zombies Grief Returns With Changes, New Gobblegum, Ammo Mod & So Much More! Season 4
Grief Mode
Makes a Comeback
Originally introduced in Black Ops 2, Grief mode pits two teams of four players against relentless waves of zombies—and each other. It's not about direct fire between squads. Instead, players battle the undead while trying to sabotage their rivals through clever mechanics like Zone Capture objectives. These create debuffs that make surviving even harder for the opposing team.
This competitive PvPvE mode has been absent from the series for over a decade. Now, it's officially returning in Black Ops 6 Season 4, complete with a fresh twist.
Welcome to the Arenas
Although there aren't any new full-size Zombies maps in this update, Grief mode will introduce 'Arenas'—smaller, specialized sections pulled from existing maps. At launch, players can expect 11 Arenas, including areas from Liberty Falls and
Shattered Veil
. These condensed battlegrounds keep the action focused and intense, perfectly suited for the high-pressure format of Grief.

New
GobbleGums
and Explosive Mods
Season 4 is also adding three new GobbleGums, each bringing a unique effect to the table:
Explosive Flourish: Reload to trigger small explosions around you for two minutes.
Flavor Hex
: Grants a random Legendary GobbleGum.
Rainburps:
A quirky option that makes zombies pop with rainbow bubbles upon death for a short time.
On the ammo side, the new
Shatter Blast Mod
turns standard rounds into armor-piercing explosives. Pair that with the new Shatter Blast Augment research path, and you've got even more ways to blow through undead hordes.

Fresh Limited-Time Modes and Challenges
Two standout LTMs will arrive in this update:
Starting Room Survival
: You're locked in the starting area of a map. How many rounds can you last?
Abomination Challenge
: Take on a super-powered variant of the terrifying Abomination in an alternate version of Liberty Falls.
For the completionists out there, new Dark Ops Challenges offer exclusive Calling Cards and bonus XP for your efforts.
Support Weapon Highlight: Grim Reaper
The Grim Reaper joins the arsenal as a support weapon. This semi-automatic launcher is designed for heavy impact, perfect for thinning out clusters of zombies or dealing with elite threats.
Final Thoughts
Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 4 isn't giving us a new map, but it doesn't need to. The return of Grief mode, the introduction of Arenas, new gear, and creative LTMs make this one of the most dynamic updates the mode has seen in years. Whether you're in it for the competition, the chaos, or the rewards, Season 4 is shaping up to be a must-play for any Zombies fan. May 29 can't come soon enough.
