In Zombies, a new survival map, Eidskallen Lighthouse, challenges players to survive on Beacon Island with rewards at Rounds 10, 25, and 50. The Kowakujo map receives Directed Mode with on-screen quest hints and a Starting Room mode. The Zombies narrative concludes with the Rex Infernus map mid-season. Season 5 Reloaded adds new weapons and perks.
