Cold War Season 5 Reloaded: Demolition and Zoo return
The time has come for those that have been patiently waiting for two features coming to Cold War. Revealed at the start of Season 5, classic CoD game mode Demolition and Black Ops map Zoo are finally back in the game.
Demolition remains the same as it has in previous CoD titles. Attackers must try to destroy both bomb sites before the end of the round, while defenders must protect at least one site until the round is over.
Zoo is also back, but with some new features. Activision said to “ride” on the monorail so this suggests that the system is useable and will have a moving train that players can get on. You’ll need to jump in yourself and check out the reimagined map.

Cold War Season 5 Reloaded: Zombies Outbreak Region, Event, Rampage Inducer
Zombies was another focal point of the Season 5 Reloaded update. This update introduced Armada, a new region to Outbreak. Set in the North Atlantic Ocean, this map takes place near or on the water.
On top of a new region, a New World Event is coming as these “Black Chests.” Details about this are for “Requiem agents to discover,” so players will need to grind out and unlock the secrets of these new chests.
In round-based maps, the Rampage Inducer will appear in the starting areas. This orange essence canister will crank up the difficulty of Zombies to all-new levels. If all players accept the challenge, zombies will spawn at faster rates and will sprint until Round 20. The chaos keeps going until the second milestone is reached or death.
Cold War Season 5 Reloaded: Outbreak Survival LTM
The new limited-time mode, Outbreak Survival, creates a grueling but rewarding challenge for hardcore players. In this mode, players start with their Field Upgrade from their loadout and a 1911 handgun.
There is no auto-regeneration, so players must find food items to heal themselves. There is Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary which will restore different amounts of health based on rarity.
Players are still working toward the same goal as any other Outbreak game, complete the objective and reach the exfil site before dying.
