 mmoset RICHTOFEN’s Role in Season 5.

 Season 5's blog does not waste any time in teasing drama. RICHTOFEN has returned and his feud is far from being over. The conflict reaches a turning point in Janice Towers and Team Tophen will not be lacking backup. Peek, Ravenov Strauss and Raptor 1 will be ready to jump in when things heat up.

 RICHTOFEN has not been fully revealed as a playable character. We do not know if RICHTOFEN will be included in a bundle, or unlocked via a reward track. Rumors suggest that RICHTOFEN will be the focus of a larger Easter egg. Many believe it will be available in Season 6 of the ongoing game expansion, which includes zombies.

 Bundles for Featured Operators

 Season 5 is launching a series of cool operator bundles. Each bundle includes new skins, blueprints and matching gear.

 Here are some highlights.

 The Replacement Commander Battleman Bundle

 This bundle contains two operator skins that are bold and brash for The Replacer. Both skins have a blockbuster, action-hero feel:

 Strike Force Skin: This one is dressed for jungle operations, wearing olive drab gear and a sleeveless harness. It also shows off a sleeve full of tattoos.

 Replacement Warrior skin: With tattooed shoulders and a war-painted neck, leather fur gauntlets and a huge tooth necklace, this look is full barbarian.

 This bundle includes 11 items including blueprints for both the AS VAL AR SMG and Doom Lad. Both weapons fire tracers that are flaming and end with a bang. The Underbrush Cleaver blueprint is also included, as well as an animated emblem, the slick finish move and a themed charm.

 The Fisherman Bundle

 This bundle, based on the classic horror theme, brings you the creepy Fisherman Operator skin to your loadout.

 Fisherman Operator Skin: Clad with shadowy threads and swinging a signature hook as if it were a handshake.

 Weapon Blueprints: The Harpoon XM4 and Curved Colar C9 are both excellent weapons that will leave a trail of blood and a finish with a fishy chum on your last enemy.

 This haul includes a lethal hook-melee blueprint, themed Emotes and Sprays, as well as moving calling cards. This bundle is expected to be released in the first two week of Season 5 - we are still waiting for a release date.

 Season 5 will bring more bundles

 There are a few more bundles in Season 5.

 Tracer Pack Dead 2 Mastercraft bundle: While details are kept under wraps, the teasers reveal some sleek weapon designs.

 Tracer Pack Dogs of War bundle: Helen Park is featured in a new operator skin, ready to go.

 Tracer Pack Behemoth Ultra-Skin: Make your operator the star of the show with this Ultra-skin.

 When the new season begins, these bundles as well as more Mastercraft skins and Ultra Skins will be available in the game store.

 Find Free Gifts

 Season 5 offers you the chance to get cool stuff for free.

 Elizabeth Gray Blood, sweat, and Gears: Complete the new Easter Egg quest, and Gray will trade her usual look for a slick, zombie-specific design.

 The 90s Action Hero event will kick in when it begins. There will be operator skins for free that are in line with the throwback action feel. One teaser shows a boxer in chains ready to throw heavy gloves. This skin is still unknown whether it will be a freebie, or available in stores.

  Battle Pass Operators

 The latest blog hinted that a few new faces are ready to jump in Season 5 Battle Pass:

 Stone OG: This variant strips Stone back to its nostalgic throwback - no hoodie and just the mask with a tough vibe.

 This skin is reminiscent of the 80s and 1990s. You can expect to find it in the Battle Pass or Store Bundles.

 The new designs are in line with Season 5 and will keep the operator roster updated.

 It's over!

 Season 5 of Black Ops 6 is set to be a big one with new operator bundles, sleek skins and plenty of rewards. The store has already hinted at some great items that can be purchased and many chances to get free unlocks. The arrival of the "90s Action Hero Event" will also increase the excitement for the whole season.
