Season 3 has dropped for Black Ops 6 and Warzone—and the gaming community is already abuzz. That’s thanks in large part to the BlackCell Battle Pass, animated Operators like R0-Z3, and some other goodies. One of the most eye-catching additions is the BlackCell Battle Pass itself.
R0-Z3, an animated operator who looks like he just stepped out of a futuristic comic book, is leading the charge in the premium BlackCell tier. You’ll also see Hudson—the CIA’s icy corrector—and Mace—the ex-Spec Ops bruiser—returning with new BlackCell skins. Zombies Shattered Veil’s Easter Egg will give you some free perks. And after what feels like an eternity, the Verdansk map is back in Warzone.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, that’s what Season 3 has in store for you.
R0-Z3 is the face of the BlackCell Battle Pass.
Leading the Black Ops 6 Battle Pass is R0-Z3, a fully animated operator who looks straight out of a sci-fi comic book. There are hints to Modern Warfare’s Roze in R0-Z3, who is exclusive to the premium BlackCell tier and signifies the bold look of the season. Returning Operators include Hudson, the cold CIA planner, and Mace, the ex-Special Forces tough guy, each sporting their own new BlackCell operator skin.
Zombies Easter Egg: How to Get a Free Random Perk in Shattered Veil
Players in the Shattered Veil map in Zombies can now get a free random perk using one of the most elaborate Easter Eggs to date. Here are the simplified steps:
-
Step 1: Kill a Lab Technician zombie (Round 10) to get a floppy disk
-
Step 2: Solve the chalkboard code and activate the service tunnel.
-
Step 3: Beat the Doppleghast boss to get a severed arm.
-
Step 4: Use it to get the Ray Gun Mark II, then upgrade to Ray Gun Mark II-W.

Two optional methods—Ghost Jumpscare Easter Egg and the Sleepwalking stealth challenge—also give perk rewards.
This side quest is becoming a fan favorite for Zombies players looking to get perks without spending in-game cash.
