ShooteorfIO: Dark Warfare Intel Drop for Season 06 Bonus Update
Darkness tightens its grip in Season 06, as the end draws near and the final update looms on the horizon — arriving October 27. The world fades deeper into shadow, the air thick with dread, and every survivor senses that something far worse is coming.
Dark Warfare Zombies
Zombies Goes Dark
Zombies descends into darkness across all six battlegrounds, each now consumed by a haunting new atmosphere. Undead Forest, once vibrant with decaying light, is now shrouded in endless fog and flickering embers that whisper through the trees. Der Palace transforms into a nightmarish fortress drenched in crimson moonlight, where the undead march through collapsed halls and blood-stained chandeliers. Turm der Toten becomes a shadowed spire echoing with screams, its upper floors cloaked in storm clouds and lightning strikes that briefly reveal the horrors within.
Classic maps return reimagined for the darkness—Origins now buried under black ash and howling winds, while Boomtown Zombies flickers with failing neon and infernal firelight from burning streets. Finally, Foldpoint takes on a sinister new form, with collapsed sectors and glowing anomalies twisting the battlefield into something alien.
Each location features a Dark Variant, complete with unique ambient soundscapes, corrupted enemy behaviors, and limited visibility challenges designed to test even the most seasoned survivors. Prepare to face the apocalypse anew—because when the lights go out, the dead rise stronger.
Limited Time Mode: Pumpkin Mania
Pumpkin Mania descends upon Dark Warfare Zombies, twisting every battlefield into a chaotic Halloween nightmare. Across Undead Forest, Der Palace, Turm der Toten, Origins, Boomtown Zombies, and Foldpoint, the undead rise under the glow of flickering Jack-o’-Lanterns and burning skies. Mimics stalk from the shadows, candy-stuffed pumpkins burst with randomized rewards, and a forced Rampage Inducer sends every zombie sprinting the moment the match begins.
Even the undead are celebrating — pumpkin-headed corpses now charge with glowing eyes and shrill laughter, their carved grins the last thing you’ll see before going down. As a seasonal “treat,” zombie health is reduced for faster takedowns... but there’s a “trick”: the total amount is increased by twice as much and will have less drops longer into games.
Each of the six maps features haunting décor and new ambient detail — from candlelit grave markers in Undead Forest to animated skeletons and hanging lanterns across Boomtown Zombies. Complete the Main Quest on any map to earn Halloween-exclusive rewards and 15,000 XP per completion.
Darkness reigns, the pumpkins burn bright, and the dead are laughing — welcome to Pumpkin Mania.
NEW Field Upgrade: Mister Peeks
Summon Mister Peeks — the deranged disco bunny — into our reality and unleash pure Halloween chaos in Dark Warfare Zombies. Exclusive to the Pumpkin Mania limited-time mode, this twisted mascot brings carnage wrapped in fur and neon lights.
Once deployed, Mister Peeks bursts into a frenzy of dance and destruction, luring both standard and Special enemies toward his rave-fueled chaos. Within moments, the undead are hypnotized by his glowing eyes and pounding bassline, only to be met with a flurry of brutal strikes. Any zombie foolish enough to enter his radius is torn apart in a dazzling explosion of confetti and color.
He’s cute. He’s loud. He’s lethal. This Halloween, let Mister Peeks turn your survival into a dancefloor massacre.
Mister Peeks Augments
Mister Peeks: Major Augments
Research the following Augments to further evolve this Halloween Field Upgrade and unleash new layers of chaos.
Neon Meltdown
When Mister Peeks reaches peak hype, he releases a blinding neon shockwave that melts zombie armor and leaves a glowing hazard field that damages enemies over time.
Infernal Groove
Peeks’ dance floor ignites — literally. Each beat of his rave music spawns small bursts of green fire, dealing fire and explosion damage to anything caught in the rhythm.
Mirror Mirage
Mister Peeks creates two holographic duplicates that mimic his moves, distracting the undead and multiplying his area of effect. Each clone deals reduced damage but shares his taunt radius.
Void Pop
Upon expiration, Peeks opens a brief rift to the Aether, sucking in nearby zombies before detonating in a burst of purple light that restores player armor and health within range.
Mister Peeks: Minor Augments
Boogie Boost
Increases Mister Peeks’ movement speed and dance tempo, allowing him to cover more ground while drawing in enemies faster.
Lucky Treat
Zombies eliminated by Mister Peeks have a small chance to drop rare Halloween loot, including Candy Perks and Pumpkin Essence.
Encore
After Mister Peeks finishes his act, there’s a 25% chance he respawns for an encore performance at the same location, continuing the fight for a few extra seconds.
Party Favor
Each zombie killed by Mister Peeks slightly recharges your Field Upgrade meter, keeping the mayhem rolling for longer sessions.
Zombies Exclusive Events
Zombies has stood as Dark Warfare’s most successful and celebrated mode to date, captivating millions of players across every new season. Each map launch has brought record-breaking engagement, with squads diving back in to uncover new storylines, challenges, and survival secrets buried within the Aether. What began as a single experiment has grown into the beating, undead heart of Dark Warfare, defining its identity through relentless replayability and evolving post-launch support.
As the undead horde continues to grow, the Season 06 Bonus Update arrives to keep the momentum surging forward. This update focuses on expanding the Zombies experience with an array of limited-time events, each designed to twist familiar battlegrounds with new objectives, modifiers, and unique cosmetic rewards. From survival-based community milestones to eerie gameplay overhauls, there’s never been a better time to return to the fight.
These exclusive “Zombie Events” blend the thrill of discovery with the chaos of the unknown — offering players dynamic, time-sensitive missions that push strategy, cooperation, and endurance to new limits. Whether you’re exploring the depths of Foldpoint or holding the line in Boomtown, the undead are changing... and they’re waiting for you to adapt or perish.
Dark Warfare Zombies — Seasonal Events

Dark Warfare Multiplayer
Even though no new maps are scheduled for this update, Dark Warfare’s Multiplayer experience continues to evolve with the introduction of a brand-new weapon, two limited-time seasonal events, and several gameplay enhancements that keep the battlefield feeling fresh. Operators can expect new customization options, themed challenges tied to Halloween and post-season progression, and balance updates aimed at refining the core gunplay.
Whether you’re dropping into small-team skirmishes or large-scale objective modes, this update delivers new ways to engage, earn rewards, and adapt your loadout for the chaos ahead.
Event 1: Iron Harvest
Deploy across all core modes to collect Iron Shards dropped by fallen enemies. Redeem them in the Seasonal Armory for exclusive weapon blueprints, calling cards, and operator skins forged in fire and steel.
Event 2: Haunted Skirmish
Step into the eerie chaos of night maps and power outages where visibility drops and fear sets in. Earn bonus XP by completing special Halloween challenges and outlasting enemy teams under the flicker of emergency lights.
New Feature: Armory
The new Armory system in Dark Warfare introduces a permanent way for players to earn content from previous Seasons that they may have missed.
Designed to reward dedication and long-term play, the Armory serves as a living archive of weapons, attachments, operator skins, and cosmetic rewards drawn from the game’s evolving seasonal history.
Instead of relying on time-limited challenges or event windows, players can now unlock these legacy items simply by earning XP through standard gameplay. Every match, kill, objective, and completed contract contributes toward Armory progress, allowing steady advancement without the pressure of seasonal deadlines or exclusive time gates.
The more XP you earn, the deeper you dig into the Armory’s tiers, uncovering classic content that once defined earlier operations. Whether reclaiming a assault rifle from Season 02 or earning a fan-favorite operator outfit from Season 04, the Armory ensures that nothing in Dark Warfare is ever truly lost — only waiting to be rediscovered.
Custom Games
New Systems and More Improvements
This update greatly expands the systems available within the Custom Games experience of Dark Warfare Multiplayer, giving players far deeper control over how they design and personalize their own matches. What was once a simple setup mode has evolved into a powerful sandbox, packed with new tools, rule options, and modifiers that let you create anything from competitive scrims to full-on experimental scenarios.
Players can now fine-tune everything — from spawn logic and equipment restrictions to AI behavior and environmental conditions. Want to simulate a tactical night raid with limited HUD elements and no radar? Or design a close-quarters chaos match with randomized loadouts and accelerated streaks? It’s all possible through the expanded Custom Games interface, now equipped with more advanced settings and visual indicators than ever before.
Whether you’re hosting community tournaments, testing weapon balances with friends, or just crafting your own twisted rule sets for fun, the new Custom Games tools bring flexibility and creativity to the forefront. Dark Warfare now gives you the freedom to play the game your way — no restrictions, no limits, just pure customizable warfare.
Combat Training Improvements
Whether you’re stepping into Dark Warfare for the first time or simply want a place to refine your aim, test new strategies, or unwind without the intensity of live competition, Combat Training provides the perfect environment. Introduced in Season 04, this AI-driven mode delivers the complete Multiplayer experience in a relaxed, low-pressure setting designed for players of all skill levels.
Within Combat Training, you’ll enter a dedicated hub featuring access to the full suite of classic modes, curated map rotations, and personalized loadouts. Every engagement is powered by adaptive AI opponents that replicate human-like tactics and reactions, offering realistic gunfights without the unpredictability of PvP matches. Players can adjust bot difficulty, match rules, and even simulate live playlist conditions—making it ideal for practice, experimentation, or pure casual fun.
Progression in Combat Training operates on its own independent system, letting players earn weapon levels, attachments, and camo unlocks exclusive to the mode. Prestige ranks and XP milestones reward consistency, while the separation from the Battle Pass keeps the focus on learning, mastery, and enjoyment rather than grinding for seasonal rewards. Whether you’re warming up before dropping into Ranked or just exploring new gear combinations, Combat Training ensures there’s always a way to play, improve, and have fun at your own pace.
