Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is making major changes to the Carry Forward system, and Season 1 gives us the clearest picture yet of what items will transfer into the new game. This includes updates for Warzone, Multiplayer, and Zombies, as well as some surprising returning items from Black Ops 6.

Below is a straightforward breakdown of everything that will and won’t carry over, and what players can expect as Season 1 and the mid-season update roll out.

For a long time, the plan was simple: everything from Black Ops 6 would carry forward into Black Ops 7—operators, blueprints, camos, DLC weapons, and more. It was meant to work like the MW2 to MW3 transition. But after players complained about out-of-place characters like Beavis & Butt-Head or American Dad breaking immersion, Treyarch canceled the full Carry Forward idea.

At first, only double XP tokens and Gobblegums were allowed to carry over. Over time, the developers added a few exceptions, like BO6 zombie operators from the Easter egg and the BO7 pre-order camo. Now, Season 1 is expanding Carry Forward even further.

Warzone Carry Forward

Season 1 officially integrates Warzone into the Black Ops 7 ecosystem. When this happens, your level, stats, and history will fully reset. Everyone starts fresh at level 1, and your K/D and win/loss records are wiped. This is normal for big seasonal resets and gives all players a clean start on the new Haven’s Hollow map.

The good news is that almost everything you’ve unlocked across MW2, MW3, and BO6 stays in Warzone. All your weapons, camos, blueprints, operators, event rewards, and bundle items remain available. Warzone keeps its full library of content.

Alongside this, BO7 brings 30 new base weapons into Warzone, along with its own perks, field upgrades, tacticals, and scorestreaks. There’s also a brand-new Warzone-exclusive mastery camo grind for players to work on.

Multiplayer & Zombies Carry Forward

Even though Treyarch originally said BO7 Multiplayer and Zombies wouldn’t support Carry Forward, the Season 1 blog revealed that some BO6 loadout content is returning at mid-season.

These items won’t be available at launch but will arrive in the Season 1 Reloaded update.

In Multiplayer, players will get the shock charge tactical, the impact grenade, thermal grenade, morphine injector, tactical insertion, and a group of returning scorestreaks such as the Archangel launcher, combat bow, death machine, dreadnought, grim reaper, sentry turret, strategic bomber, and war machine. These items can be used for challenges, medals, XP, and trophy progress. Overclock abilities won’t work with them.

Zombies is also receiving returning content. Mule Kick is back, along with Lightmen and the Shatter Blast ammo mod. Returning field upgrades include Tesla Storm, Frost Blast, and Mr. Peaks. Other items like the shock charge, impact grenade, war machine, grim reaper, and combat bow will also be craftable.

This marks the biggest return of BO6 gear to BO7 so far.

Why Weapons Haven’t Returned Yet

Weapons are still the missing piece in Carry Forward for Multiplayer and Zombies. Treyarch has not committed to bringing back BO6 weapons or their blueprints. However, developers have said they are exploring ways to add classic BO6 weapons into BO7 Zombies in the future. This suggests we could see returning guns in Season 2 or another future update—likely during a quieter content period.

Confusing Operator Restrictions

Not all BO6 operator content has returned, and some choices are puzzling. Reznov, a BO7 pre-order bonus, still isn’t usable in the game. Some operators carried forward, but their skins did not. The Replacer is becoming a free reward, but other returning operators remain inconsistent.

The issue seems to be fairness: once Treyarch starts choosing specific operators to bring back, players who bought different bundles may feel left out. This is probably why the studio is adding content slowly and carefully.

More Carry Forward Coming Later

All signs point to Treyarch continuing to expand Carry Forward throughout BO7’s lifecycle. Developer comments, the return of BO6 items, and the community’s demand for legacy content strongly suggest that more operators, skins, and even weapons could return in Season 1 Reloaded or Season 2.

Season 1 is just the beginning, and BO7 could eventually end up with one of the biggest cross-game inventories in Call of Duty history.
