Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Update Rolls Back Unpopular Zombies Change

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

Treyarch has addressed player concerns regarding recent changes to Black Ops 6's Zombies Directed Mode. Following community feedback, the January 9th update reversed a controversial alteration to zombie spawn delays. This change, implemented on January 3rd, extended the time between rounds and zombie spawns after five looped rounds, negatively impacting kill farming and camo challenges. The update restores the spawn delay to approximately 20 seconds at most after five looped rounds.

Beyond the Directed Mode reversal, the update includes:

• Citadelle des Morts Fixes: Various bug fixes address glitches preventing quest progression and visual effects issues. A crash related to the Void Sheath Augment and Elemental Swords has also been resolved.
• Shadow Rift Buffs: The Shadow Rift Ammo Mod receives significant buffs, increasing activation rates for normal, special, and elite enemies (with Big Game Augment). Its cooldown timer has also been reduced by 25%.
• Global Improvements: The update includes fixes for visual issues in the Events tab, audio problems with event milestone banners, and the invisibility of Maya's "Joyride" Operator Skin beyond 70 meters.

Multiplayer Enhancements:

The update also boosts XP rewards from the Red Light, Green Light mode's match bonus and incorporates various stability improvements.

Looking Ahead:

Treyarch acknowledges that some fixes require further testing and will be included in the Season 2 update launching January 28th. This includes addressing the Vermin double-attack bug and enabling the Shock Charge tactic in Terminus. The Season 2 update will also introduce additional bug fixes and adjustments. Players are encouraged to complete the Citadelle des Morts main quest before Season 1 Reloaded concludes.
