The latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has arrived, bringing with it the highly anticipated Hit List multiplayer event and a host of important fixes. This update follows closely on the heels of a previous patch and the recent launch of Ranked mode, marking a busy week for BO6 players across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
This new update coincides with the launch of The Hit List, the first major event for Black Ops 6 this year. This event, running concurrently in both BO6 and Warzone, tasks players with eliminating targets on a contract list. Successfully completing the hit list rewards players with exclusive in-game loot. According to Activision, “Who’s next? Keep up your luxurious – but slightly corrupt – lifestyle during the Hit List Event. You’re offered up a take-no-prisoners mission: kill or be killed. The Hit List Limited Event gives players a board of contracts with one goal – take them all out. Cross off the entire list and earn some exclusive loot for hire.” Beyond the event itself, the update also addresses several key issues across various game modes.
Multiplayer Refinements and 10v10 Moshpit Action
The update introduces a 10v10 Moshpit to both standard and Hardcore Quickplay playlists. This expanded player count mode adds a new layer of chaotic fun to the Black Ops 6 experience. Hideout, Extraction, and Protocol have been added to the 10v10 map rotation, providing a variety of environments for large-scale combat. Furthermore, the update addresses a camo progression issue affecting the Krig C and Saug weapons, ensuring that Dark Spine camo progress is now tracked correctly.
Ranked Play Balancing and Bug Fixes
Ranked Play receives some fine-tuning in this update, most notably with the restriction of the RC-XD in all ranked modes. This change aims to balance gameplay and address potential exploits. Additionally, the update resolves issues related to unintentional draws, incorrect SR display after matches, and UI problems encountered by max-level players. These fixes contribute to a smoother and more competitive Ranked Play experience.
Zombies Mode Improvements and Stability Enhancements
Zombies mode benefits from several improvements, including a fix for a movement issue that slowed players down when reloading while sprinting. This addresses a frustrating impediment to fluid gameplay. The update also resolves a tracking issue with the “Box Addict” Dark Ops Challenge and implements various stability fixes to enhance the overall Zombies experience.
Conclusion: A Solid Update for Black Ops 6
This Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 update delivers a significant content drop with The Hit List event while simultaneously addressing important gameplay issues and bugs across different modes. The inclusion of the 10v10 Moshpit injects fresh excitement into the multiplayer experience, and the refinements to Ranked Play demonstrate a commitment to competitive balance. The fixes for Zombies mode and the overall stability improvements further enhance the game’s overall quality. This update strengthens the Black Ops 6 experience, offering players more reasons to jump back into the action.
