| ==Production notes==
| |
| Despite being dubbed '''Content Update 29''' and more prominently, '''CU29''', every Operation within this update is grouped under the banner of '''Season 6000'''. Spirit of Fire is '''Season 6001''', Cyber Showdown III is '''Season 6002''', and The Yappening II is '''Season 6003'''. This occurred earlier with the [[Winter Update]], which fell under [[Season 02: Lone Wolves|Season 02's]] banner as Season 2001 before being properly reclassified as an Operation, and would carry forward, with [[Content Update 32]]'s Operations falling under the Season 7000 banner.
