Zombies had their spotlight in the Season 4 Reloaded update. Now, double agents have infiltrated the ranks, and a espionage race has kicked off.

As per usual, Black Ops: Cold War players receive new modes and playlists. The standout is called Double Agent, which puts up to ten players in a match with assigned roles.

Double Agents are there to either eliminate everyone without being noticed or set off explosive charges around the map. The Investigator can use clues to target suspected Double Agents as Wanted criminals. In the meantime, Operatives have to work together to identify and eliminate the agents.

Alongside map updates and two new perks, Warzone will have four new weapons that arrive to Cold War as well. In addition, expect a Red Doors event around mid-season.
