Black Ops 6 Zombies Mode Gets Arachnophobia-Friendly Update

The developers have announced a new arachnophobia toggle option for the Zombies mode in Black Ops 6. This setting alters the appearance of spider-like enemies without affecting core gameplay.

The visual change primarily involves removing the spider zombies' legs, giving the impression they're floating. While the developers haven't specified whether the hitbox changes, it's likely adjusted to match the altered appearance.

Additionally, a "Pause and Save" feature is being added for solo players in the Round-Based Zombies mode. This allows players to pause, save their progress, and reload with full health, significantly impacting gameplay, particularly on challenging maps.
