Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Update Reverts Controversial Zombies Change

This update addresses player feedback and implements several changes and bug fixes across various game modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Key changes include:

  • Reversal of Zombies Directed Mode Spawn Delay: Following community backlash, Treyarch has reverted the controversial change that increased the time between zombie spawns in Directed Mode after five looped rounds. The spawn delay is now back to approximately 20 seconds.

  • Citadelle des Morts Fixes: Multiple bug fixes have been implemented for the Citadelle des Morts Zombies map, addressing issues with quest progression, visual effects, and crashes related to the Void Sheath Augment.

  • Shadow Rift Ammo Mod Buffs: The Shadow Rift Ammo Mod has received significant buffs, increasing activation rates for normal, special, and elite enemies (with Big Game Augment), and reducing its cooldown timer by 25%.

  • General Bug Fixes and Improvements: The update includes various stability fixes across Multiplayer and Zombies modes, along with UI and audio improvements. Specific fixes address issues with Maya's Operator Skin visibility, the Events tab, and Event milestone banner audio.

The January 9th update patch notes also highlight upcoming changes:

  • Season 2 Update (January 28th): Further bug fixes and adjustments are planned for release on January 28th with the launch of Season 2. This includes resolving remaining issues like the Vermin double-attack bug.

  • Dead Light, Green Light LTM Adjustments: The limited-time mode, Dead Light, Green Light, has been updated to include Liberty Falls as a playable map and increased the round cap to 20.

In summary, this update prioritizes player experience by addressing community concerns regarding the Directed Mode changes and significantly enhancing the Shadow Rift Ammo Mod. Further improvements are slated for the upcoming Season 2 update.
