Summary
Treyarch has issued a brand-new update forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6that users can download right now.Call of Duty: Black Ops 6launched at the end of October to mostly positive reviews, but there’s always room for improvement. To that end, Treyarch has released multiple updates forBlack Ops 6post-launch.
MultipleBlack Ops 6updates have been released to address bugs and balance problems in the popular FPS. One of the more notable updates came at the start of November, when Treyarch launched the game’s first Double XP weekend andadded Nuketown. Now yet anotherBlack Ops 6update is available to download, with this one making wide-ranging balance adjustments and other changes.
The newCall of Duty: Black Ops 6update improves the game’s stability and fixes a variety of bugs. It has made it possible for Nuketown to be used in Private Matches, and it has also tackled one of the game’s most controversial Combat Specialties head-on. TheBlack Ops 6Recon Combat Specialtyhas been heavily criticized for essentially being “wallhacks,” and so Treyarch has dialed back its effectiveness. As of the latest update, Recon duration has been reduced to 1.5 seconds with an additional reduction coming in a future update. A bug that allowedBlack Ops 6players to activate Recon by changing their loadouts has also been squashed by the new update.
Assault Rifle Adjustments
SMG Adjustments
Among the many other changes made in the new update, spawning has gotten a shake-up, which will be good news for fans that havefoundBlack Ops 6spawns lacking. Treyarch noted that there will be more changes to how spawning works inBlack Ops 6as more data is collected, so fans should keep that in mind.
As mentioned previously, the latest update forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6has also tweaked many of the game’s guns, nerfing and buffing them as Treyarch has seen fit. After downloading the new update,Black Ops 6players will notice that guns like the XM4 have been nerfed, while SMGs have been buffed. Just asBlack Ops 6multiplayer spawns will continue to be adjusted in future updates, so too will weapon balance, and so fans can expect many more changes in the months ahead.
Modes
Spawns
Spawn tuning will be an ongoing process of taking in data, reviewing gameplay and making measured adjustments in the live environment. Our number one goal is to always provide the safest spawn that we can across all maps and game modes.
Loadouts
Shotguns
Last week, we fixed an issue with shotgun Slugs, but we are still working on an additional issue causing this attachment to perform better in hip fire than intended. Slugs are meant to offer an alternate playstyle for shotguns that trades close quarters effectiveness for improved range and precision. We are removing the ability for Slugs to one-hit kill to the body for now and will be revisiting the overall tuning of this attachment in an upcoming update.
As we head into Season 1, we are continuing to observe data and feedback for Perks and Combat Specialties in Multiplayer. Currently, Enforcer is the most popular Combat Specialty with Recon in second place. It’s not just about the data though, as your feedback is a critical part of how we approach tuning of the live game. With that said, we are making some spot adjustments today as we as we continue to take a holistic look at our Perks and Combat Specialties moving forward.
