Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Releases First November Update, New Patch Notes

Alongside the Classic Nuketown map and the fan-favorite Infected mode, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 also got a separate update this Friday to usher in the next weekend of Black Ops 6 matches. As is the case with most post-launch updates for very new games, this Call of Duty update is more geared towards bugs and fixing problems players have been encountering with different maps, attachments, and more since Black Ops 6 released. The update is out now across the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms with a whole new set of patch notes to look over.

Those patch notes are relatively brief similar to the very first post-launch update that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 got earlier in the week. Treyarch expectedly closed out some exploits that Zombies players were abusing, and for the multiplayer mode, you can now pick Infected from the private match options if you want to have a small-scale Infected game with friends. The campaign mode which everyone seems to like very much remained untouched.

Right before Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released, it got an update with a bunch of changes made after feedback from the beta prompted nerfs and other adjustments. Once Black Ops 6 has been out for awhile longer, Call of Duty players should expect a similar patch that’ll include more sweeping balance changes.
