Call of Duty Season 5 Reloaded start times

Activision confirmed that Call of Duty Season 5 Reloaded arrives on September 4. The update will go live at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST across all platforms.

What to expect from Season 5 Reloaded

New weapon and scorestreak

This midseason update includes a new weapon and scorestreak. The new Gravemark .357 is a single-action revolver, and the Combat Bow serves as the new scorestreak. Both items will be unlocked as free rewards in the upcoming events.

Seasonal events

Nuketown Block Party is a seasonal event with paid and free reward tracks, which is similar to past Call of Duty event passes for TMNT, Beavis and Butt-Head, and Squid Game. However, instead of a big IP crossover, this event’s rewards include cosmetics themed around the Nuketown map.

There is also an event called Operation: Hell Ride. It’s unclear what type of event this will be, but Activision describes it by saying, “The clock is ticking and only the most daring action heroes can hope to save the day before everything goes ka-boom.”

Black Ops 6 multiplayer

New multiplayer map

Jackpot is a new 6v6 map set inside a casino. The developer says this map was inspired by both the High Rollers campaign mission from Black Ops 6 and the Casino multiplayer map from Black Ops 4.

More game modes

Season 5 Reloaded adds three more game modes to Black Ops 6: Cranked Demolition, Ransack, and Blueprint Gunfight.

Cranked Demolition is a brand-new mode that combines Demolition with the mechanics of Cranked. Players must manage a 30-second Cranked timer during these matches, meaning chaining kills, plants, and defuses to keep resetting their timer to avoid exploding.

Previously a limited-time mode in Black Ops 6, Ranksack returns as a mode where two teams battle to steal gold bars and deposit them into their own team stash for points. Blueprint Gunfight is the 2v2 mode that features a variety of weapon blueprints.

Black Ops 6 Zombies

Season 5 Reloaded adds Director mode to Black Ops 6’s final Zombies map, allowing players to get guided support for the main-story Easter egg for Reckoning. Players who complete Reckoning on Directed mode will earn a unique calling card, a “Keepsake” weapon charm, and XP.

Team Cranked returns as a limited-time game mode. This combines the Cranked mechanics from multiplayer to Zombies, requiring players to chain kills together to stay alive and reset their 30-second Cranked timer to avoid exploding.

Additionally, new leaderboard challenges will also arrive with the midseason update.

Warzone

The only announcement for Warzone’s midseason update is the addition of a new limited-time mode called Deadline. This mode is played on Verdansk with 100 players dropping into the match as squads of four.

Deadline has unlimited respawns, but players will need to be proactive throughout the entire match, as the lowest-scoring squads will be eliminated with each circle collapse. Each new circle resets the earned score for all squads, so players will need to constantly make sure they’re earning more by eliminating enemies, completing contracts, looting supplies, and spending cash at Buy Stations.

Additionally, Activision is offering up 20 free battle pass tier skips for any player who simply logs in to Black Ops 6 or Warzone between now and September 16.

Black Ops 7 launches on November 14 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. The game’s multiplayer beta begins in October.

How to Unlock End to Dumbest Slumber

In order to tackle the Soundest of Sleepers prophecy in Hades 2, you have to complete three incantations. To access them, you first need to speak to Hypnos whenever you’re in the Crossroads. You need to gift him two bottles of Nectar and collect at least one Poppy, which is obtained by gathering Poppy Seeds and planting them in your garden at the Crossroads. The main NPC that you need to speak to is Medea in Ephyra, which is the first region when you’re attempting a surface run.

Medea is your go-to NPC for this questline.

Completing these steps will unlock the End to Deepest Slumber incantation, which can be accessed from the cauldron. You’ll need one Molly, two Mandrake, and three Poppy flowers to complete it. Once that’s done, you’ll gain a Dream Vapor. Go ahead and gift it to Hypnos, and this will start a dream sequence.

During early access, the Olympic Update added the End to Dearest Slumber incantation. It has the same requirements as the previous one (albeit with an additional Mandrake), and you’ll once again enter Hypnos’ dream sequence. Sadly, this won’t be enough to wake him up, as there’s a third and final incantation.

As with everything in Hades 2, it might take you a few runs to actually see progress with conversations. Make sure to always be speaking to Medea when she’s available in Ephyra, and she’ll eventually unlock the incantations for you. Also, we have a guide covering all material sources in Hades 2 in case you need some help in that regard.

How to Get Soot for the End to Dumbest Slumber Incantation

Once you’ve completed both End to Deepest Slumber and End to Dearest Slumber, you’ll gain access to End to Dumbest Slumber. This requires two Poppy flowers, one Shaderot, and one Soot. The problem is that there’s no indication of where to find Soot.

In short, if you’re wondering how to get Soot in Hades 2, you first need to beat the main story. Without spoiling too much, you must have seen the game’s credits once. Then, you have to do a couple of underworld runs and, when you’re rummaging through the last region before the final boss, make sure to visit the NPC room when it becomes available. It took me three runs until the room appeared, but this may differ on your end. Then, gift at least one Nectar bottle to said NPC.

You won’t be able to get your hands on Soot until you hit the game’s credits.

After speaking to said NPC, they will (quite unceremoniously) give you Soot, as well as a Keepsake. Once you’re back at the Crossroads, go ahead and tackle the incantation. All that is left to do is to gift Hypnos a Dream Vapor and watch another dream sequence. This will conclude the End to Dumbest Slumber incantation, which in turn will finally wake up Hypnos in Hades 2.

Now, go ahead and claim your reward from the Fated List of Minor Prophecies. You’ll receive two Nightmares for your trouble, which is a rare material. If you’re wondering what to use it for, we have an extensive guides hub to answer all of your Hades 2 questions.
