On top of all of those new playlists and store offerings coming, everything following are some highlights and specifics of what you can expect to see this season.
New Weapon - Type 63
The Type 63 Marksman Rifle arrives in the Season 9 Battle Pass, a semi-automatic tactical rifle that dishes out high damage with reliable accuracy and control while firing. You can acquire the base version of this weapon at level 21 in the free track of the Battle Pass and an epic version, the Type 63 - Deadly Botany, at tier 50 in the paid track of the Battle Pass.
New Scorestreak - Flamenaut
This new scorestreak also arrives via the free track of the Battle Pass at tier 14. The Flamenaut will give you all of the tools you need to set your enemies ablaze with a powerful flamethrower and a fire-resistant mask. This scorestreak doesn’t have a time limit, you’ll have to be taken out by enemies to end it or you can self-destruct.
New Multiplayer Mode - Hordepoint
This new mode is similar to Hardpoint or Domination where you are playing versus another team of operators while trying to capture objective points on a map. However, you’ll have some extra dangers roaming the map with non-player controlled zombies attacking all players. Try it out when it launches mid-season.
New Challenge Pass
The Season 9 Challenge Pass introduces the classic and ever useful Counter Spy Plane Scorestreak, a staple in the Call of Duty series that scrambles the enemy’s radar making it difficult for them to pinpoint your team’s location on the map.
Complete Standard, Special, and Elite Missions to progress through the Challenge Pass. Use your earned Challenge Tokens to purchase items in the Exchange including the Swordfish — Voyage Aloft and UL736 — Eclipse.
Check the in-game Events tab throughout the season for new Missions and rewards. For a broader glimpse of ongoing seasonal activities, check the Mission Board located in the main menu.
New Legendary Operator Incoming - Dark Shepherd
The latest legendary operator to join the fight in Season 9 is Dark Shepherd, a pirate-themed Operator Skin from the grim and distant future. The Void Voyage Draw also features the Type 63 — Anchor Weighed Marksman Rifle based on the new Season 9 weapon. Check out this new draw launching mid October.
Battle Pass Vault
For those looking to dive into some previously released gear, weapons and operators - Season 9 introduces the Battle Pass content from Season 6 2021: The Heat and Season 5 2021: In Deep Water.
