From the devastating Combat Bow scorestreak to exclusive mannequin operator skins, this event delivers premium content across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone modes.
Event Overview: Celebrating a Timeless Classic
The Nuketown Block Party represents more than just another seasonal event - it's a tribute to the map that has defined Call of Duty multiplayer for over a decade. Running across all major game modes, this celebration brings together the chaotic spirit of Nuketown with some of the most unique rewards we've seen in Black Ops 6.
What makes this event special is its dual-track progression system, offering substantial rewards for free-to-play participants while providing premium purchasers with exclusive content that truly captures the essence of Nuketown's mannequin-filled madness.
New Weaponry and Equipment
Combat Bow Scorestreak
The standout addition to Season 5 Reloaded's arsenal is the Combat Bow scorestreak, a medieval weapon with modern lethality. This isn't your typical projectile weapon - it combines precision targeting with explosive potential, making it perfect for both elimination and area denial strategies. The bow's unique mechanics allow for both direct impact eliminations and devastating splash damage, giving tactical players a versatile new tool for controlling the battlefield.
PPSh-41 Helical Magazine Attachment
The beloved PPSh-41 receives a game-changing upgrade with the Helical Magazine attachment. This enhancement dramatically increases the weapon's ammunition capacity while maintaining its signature high rate of fire. For players who favor aggressive rushing tactics, this attachment transforms the PPSh-41 into an unstoppable close-quarters powerhouse capable of taking on multiple enemies without reloading.
Gravemark .357 Revolver
Completing the weapon trio is the Gravemark .357 Revolver, a precision sidearm that delivers devastating stopping power. This isn't just another pistol - it's designed for players who value accuracy and damage over spray-and-pray tactics. The revolver's high damage output makes it perfect for finishing wounded enemies or serving as a reliable backup when your primary weapon runs dry.
Free Track Rewards: Premium Content for Everyone
The free progression track ensures that every player can participate in the Nuketown celebration, regardless of their purchasing power. The centerpiece of this tier is the "Nuketown Mayor" operator skin, a brilliant mannequin design that embodies the map's iconic aesthetic while providing a unique battlefield presence.
Beyond the headline operator skin, free track participants gain access to the Combat Bow scorestreak and PPSh-41 Helical Magazine attachment, ensuring that gameplay-affecting rewards aren't locked behind paywalls. Additional cosmetic rewards include animated weapon camos, calling cards, and various customization options that let you showcase your Nuketown pride.
Free Track Mastery: "Armed and Dangerous" Pickaxe
Completing the entire free track unlocks the "Armed and Dangerous" Pickaxe weapon blueprint, a bizarrely creative weapon that literally uses a mannequin's arm as its base. This reward perfectly captures the absurd humor that makes Nuketown such a beloved map, while providing a functional melee weapon that's sure to turn heads in every lobby.
Premium Track: Elevated Nuketown Experience
For players seeking the complete Nuketown Block Party experience, the premium track offers an extensive collection of exclusive rewards that dive deeper into the map's mannequin mythology. This isn't just additional cosmetics - it's a comprehensive celebration of everything that makes Nuketown special.
The premium track features the "Lady-quinn" mannequin operator skin, offering an alternative take on the mannequin aesthetic with its own unique personality and design elements. Weapon enthusiasts will appreciate the "Nuke Proof" weapon blueprint and the premium "Nuketown Special" Mastercraft, both designed to showcase the map's nuclear testing theme.
Additional premium rewards include the "Durable Gizmo" gunscreen for customizing your weapon displays, the "Nuked Town" calling card for lobby bragging rights, exclusive emotes that capture Nuketown's chaotic energy, and finishing moves that incorporate the map's distinctive elements.
Premium Track Mastery: "Merc Test" Operator Skin
The ultimate reward for premium track completion is the "Merc Test" operator skin, a battle-ready mannequin that embodies tactical preparedness. Featuring a sleeveless tactical vest, combat-ready black pants, and comprehensive gear loadout, this skin represents the evolution from civilian mannequin to combat-ready soldier. It's designed for players who want to showcase their dedication to the Nuketown Block Party while maintaining a serious competitive appearance.
Cross-Mode Integration
One of the event's strongest features is its integration across all major Black Ops 6 modes. Whether you prefer the fast-paced action of multiplayer, the cooperative challenge of zombies, or the large-scale battles of Warzone, your progress contributes toward unlocking these exclusive rewards.
This cross-mode approach ensures that players can engage with the event using their preferred playstyle, while encouraging experimentation across different game modes.
