Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Patch Notes Released for Multiplayer & Zombies

Days after adding new modes for Squid Game, Black Ops 6 is fixing some issues. This time around, a majority of the patch is focused on the Multiplayer and Zombies modes. However, with these, they are amending some changes done from the last update, which fans didn’t seem to be too keen of when removed. 

As mentioned before, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is in the midst of its Squid Game collaboration. The event added new multiplayer modes inspired by the hit Netflix show’s second season like the Pentathlon and the ever iconic Red Light, Green Light. Both of the products have been massive successes, though Squid Game’s controversial ending has been the talk of the town long after its Christmas Day release.

While many have been having fun with the modes, some of the changes done, specifically with the Shadow Rift mod and the accessible Directed Mode, were not too favored. The removal of Big Game’s lethal damage towards Elites and the five-second delay of spawned zombies after five looped rounds, while they may not seem too big, were distracting for players and felt out of place. So, as a resolution, the Directed Mode’s changes have been reverted. Meanwhile, while the lethal damage was not fixed, four new buffs for Shadow Rift have been added to still bring the pain to Elites but not enough to one-shot them like before. 

Also in the patch notes are fixes to the FX in Citadelle des Morts when using a sword with Aether Shroud and balancing Dead Light, Green Light to make it more harder. Furthermore, Liberty Falls has been added to the map selection and promise to take the feedback gained from this time to make it harder/easier for round cap extension next week. In the future, the team has promised to schedule out the fixes for speedrunning Terminus and the Vermin double-attack bug.
