Black Ops 7 Season 5 Ranked Play Rotation Covers 27 Map-Mode Pairings
Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Overload make up the Season 5 rotation, with Frequency and Vertigo returning across multiple modes.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 5 has refreshed the Ranked Play rotation with new map additions across Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Overload. Knowing where each mode can appear should help players prepare their class setups and map strategies before queueing.
Ranked Play follows the competitive structure associated with the Call of Duty League, using stricter rules and a smaller selection of modes than standard multiplayer. The Season 5 pool now includes several returning maps, along with added options for each mode.

What changed in Season 5?
Frequency and Vertigo return to Ranked Play and appear in all three modes. Their inclusion gives players new rotations to learn in objective matches and new sightlines to account for in Search & Destroy.
Hardpoint receives four additions: Frequency, Vertigo, Blackheart, and Exposure. Search & Destroy adds Colossus, Exposure, and Scar, expanding its pool to 11 maps.
Overload now features six maps after Frequency and Vertigo joined the mode. That gives the mode its broadest rotation so far in the Season 5 breakdown, with Den, Exposure, Scar, and Gridlock making up the rest of the pool.
The full Ranked Play changes are available in the Black Ops 7 Season 5 patch notes.
