Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One in October 2024, and is seen as a major revival of the franchise after the overwhelming disappointing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. You can read our full review here. Back in March, Team RICOCHET, the group responsible for monitoring cheaters for the Call of Duty series, revealed that it had banned a whopping 228,000 cheaters since the release of Black Ops 6.

 

New Maps

  • Fringe (6v6)
    • First seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, Fringe returns in a reimagined form for Season 04 Reloaded. Deploy to the Rolling Hills distillery during the grand opening ceremony.
  • Eclipse (6v6, 2v2)
    • Battle to the beat in this underground nightclub in Avalon where neon lights illuminate the halls and dance floor.

Cel-Shaded Map Variants

  • Play cel-shaded variants of Nuketown, Babylon, Skyline, Stakeout, and Grind in CODtoons Moshpit, while Party Ops features the same lineup (minus Stakeout).

New Multiplayer Limited-Time Mode

Party Ops (Launch Window)

  • Party all night in this Free for All party mode challenging players to finish a randomized set of minigames with the highest score!
  • The clock’s ticking, each minigame occurring in a short time frame. There’s no score limit and Scorestreaks are disabled. Matches take place across Babylon, Grind, Nuketown, and Skyline, with the top three scoring Operators winning the competition. Success means adapting to each new challenge on the fly, as the type and order of minigames is randomized at the start of each match.
  • Minigames include condensed versions of some classic Party Modes alongside wild challenges like the Dance Off, tasking Operators to get down and funky in the designated dance zones, as well as Musical Zones later in the season, featuring multiple capture points that dwindle down to a final location when the music stops. Better move fast!

New Weapons (Multiplayer & Zombies)

  • Olympia – Special (Event Reward)
    • Double-barrel shotgun. Very high damage and respectable range but requires frequent reloading.
  • Pickaxe – Melee Weapon (Event Reward)
    • One-hit kill. Medium attack speed. Short range.

New Weapon Attachments (Multiplayer & Zombies)

  • SVD Full Auto Mod (Event Reward)
    • Converts the SVD into a full-auto weapon with a high rate of fire, improved handling and spread. Stronger vertical recoil and a rebalanced damage profile compliments the new fire type while still delivering impressive firepower. Blocks Stock, Underbarrel, Barrel, and Magazine Attachments.
  • TR2 CQB Auto Conversion (Event Reward)
    • Converts the TR2 into a fully automatic weapon with a fast fire rate that gradually slows down with sustained fire. Improves handling at the cost of damage range. Equips a new default Barrel and Magazine and unlocks an exclusive extended Magazine. Blocks Barrel Attachments.

New Zombies Limited-Time Modes

Abomination Challenge (Launch Window)

  • Summon Mo by opening the doors to the Aether Church. Then defeat Mo. Mo has some unique abilities as an Abomination HVT. He will gain resistance, then immunity, to a weapon repeatedly used on him. Mo’s charge attack also holds a secret.
    • Available: Flow Mode, Cel-Shaded Map
    • Restricted: Quests, Easter Eggs, Exit Strategy (GobbleGum)
    • Available Maps: Liberty Falls

      • Amalgams
      • Doppelghasts
      • Elder Disciples
      • Shock Mimics
      • Toxic Zombies
  • Additional Features: The Abomination Challenge LTM utilizes a modified version of the “Zombies Snacks” ruleset for Health—meaning you need to secure Snacks dropped as ground loot to increase your Health once you’ve taken damage—though players do not lose energy by moving.
    • There is no Refrigerator Power-up
    • Flow State is available, assuming you can slay enough of the undead without taking damage to activate it!

    • Restricted: Door Buys, Exfil, Exit Strategy (GobbleGum)
    • Available Maps: Liberty Falls, Terminus, Citadelle des Morts, The Tomb, Shattered Veil
    • Inspired by the initial chamber within the original Black Ops Zombies map “Moon,” Starting Room brings down the complexities of a full RBZ experience, while ramping up the combat and terror. You’re essentially doomed to battle through increasingly vicious waves of undead within the first area of a map. Raptor One has been grounded. All the doors are sealed shut and can’t be opened. Survive to the highest round you can and die trying!
  • Classic Features: The classic Round-Based Zombies baseline rules are in effect:
    • Available for crews of one to four players versus zombies
    • The match ends when all players are eliminated
  • Modified Features: There are various modifications within a Starting Room match: If the power in the map was off during a normal match, it is already switched to “on”.
    • If a machine or feature, like a Perk Machine, Pack-A-Punch and/or Der Wunderfizz (at Round 25) are in the starting zone, they will appear. If not, they aren’t available.
    • Fire Sale Power-up no longer drops randomly from fallen zombies.
    • Random Perk Power-up has been added to randomly drop from fallen zombies.
