Major Additions
Trenches
A new map built around trench networks, underground spaces, outdoor areas, and longer sightline pressure.
Loadout and weapon customization
A new loadout flow with a large attachment system, compatibility rules, and gameplay-affecting stats.
Optics and weapon feel
Magnified optics, scope work, first-person animation changes, weapon handling updates, and new weapon additions.
Tools and equipment
Drones, RC cars, knives, grenades, and supporting audio or handling updates were added or reworked.
Lobby and UI
The update introduced a Shooting Range hub, tablet-based UI direction, server browser, loadout screen, and refreshed match screens.
Modes and match flow
Wingman 2v2 replaces Bodybomb as the default competitive mode, while Gun Game, Hardpoint, and match flow received updates.
Trenches In Locked & Loaded
Trenches is the headline map addition. It creates a different learning problem from tighter indoor maps because players must handle both close trench pressure and more exposed outdoor movement.
Read the detailed Bodycam Trenches map guide for layout, confirmed key areas, night visibility, and practical tips.
Loadout And Weapon Customization
The update introduces a new loadout and weapon-customization flow, including a large attachment pool and attachment effects such as aim speed, reload speed, recoil, spread, kick, and magazine capacity. Because compatibility and balance can change after a major update, treat exact best builds as patch-sensitive.
Zombies Changes
Zombies is affected by the broader systems work around Locked & Loaded, so players should separate two questions: whether the mode is currently accessible, and how the mode should be approached when it is playable.
Use Zombies Mode for status and Bodycam Zombies Guide for gameplay questions.
Game Modes After Locked & Loaded
Locked & Loaded retired Bodybomb and made Wingman 2v2 the default competitive direction. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Gun Game, Hardpoint, Versus, Wingman, and Zombies are covered on the Bodycam game modes page.
What Changed After Locked & Loaded?
Returning players should re-check the basics after Locked & Loaded: learn Trenches, rebuild loadouts around the customization system, expect mode and match-flow changes, and review Zombies separately before trying to queue for it.
