Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Warzone Nov 7 Update Notes (8th November 2026)

The latest update for Call of Duty: Warzone marks the start of Season 1. The update adds two new maps: Hajin and Zodiac. Hajin is a large map set across North and South Korea, featuring 13 major points of interest that range from dense urban districts to open farmland and mountainous terrain. Hajin introduces an all-new Gulag with two distinct arena variants. Players can mantle over obstacles in the arena and can spectate from ground level at certain angles. Hajin also introduces dynamic weather scenarios, with one of six conditions randomly selected at the beginning of each match, including clear, wind, sun showers and growing storm.

Zodiac is a new Resurgence map set within the DRC Advanced Systems drone manufacturing headquarters in South Korea. The map has 10 points of interest, combining industrial interiors, elevated rooftops, underground passages and moving trains with interactive environmental hazards. Operator visibility was improved across Zodiac, particularly around the Sentinel Overpass, Old Mines, and sewer routes. Footstep audio and ambient occlusion were also improved. A new mode called Rally Point is set on Zodiac. This 20-player mode features no Gas Circle, unlimited Resurgence, and drop-in/drop-out functionality.

Train spawn rates have been reduced by approximately 25% to address the abundance of high-tier loot. Breakable crates now contain Lethal and Tactical Equipment, while the likelihood of finding Perks, Killstreaks, and Drop Kits in these containers has been reduced. New physics-based objects, such as fuel barrels, concrete cylinders, and bollards, can be repositioned to create cover, block enemy routes, reach elevated areas, or establish traps. Teammate footstep volume has been lowered so enemy movement is easier to hear during combat, and XP gains have been adjusted across all modes to match intended values.

Beginning with Season 1, new enforcement measures apply to Warzone Agent. Warzone Agent is an unauthorized, paid third-party application that enables "lobby shopping," allowing players to assess lobby skill levels during pre-match warm-ups. Players attempting to launch or access Warzone while running Warzone Agent will receive a notification instructing them to close the software. Players who do not close it will be prevented from accessing Multiplayer modes. Players who attempt to circumvent these restrictions and continue using the software may face temporary or permanent account and/or hardware bans. Campaign access will remain unaffected.
