Call of Duty: Black Ops 6: Infection, Nuketown Modes Imminent

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Receives Classic Modes and Map Updates

Following its recent launch, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is adding two highly anticipated game modes and a beloved map this week. Treyarch, the game's developer, announced via Twitter (X) that the popular "Infected" mode will launch tomorrow, followed by the iconic Nuketown map on November 1st.

Infected pits players against each other in a thrilling survival game of human versus zombie, while Nuketown, originally featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), offers a fast-paced multiplayer experience set in a 1950s-themed nuclear test site. This addition fulfills Activision's earlier promise of regular post-launch content updates. Black Ops 6 launched with 11 standard multiplayer modes, including variations with disabled Scorestreaks and a Hardcore mode.

Black Ops 6's First Update Addresses Numerous Bugs

The game's first post-launch update addressed several issues across multiplayer and Zombies modes. Improvements include increased XP and weapon XP rates in various game types (Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight). Activision confirmed ongoing monitoring of XP rates to ensure fair progression. The update also resolved several bugs, including:

• Global: Fixed loadout highlighting, Bailey's operator animation, and the "Mute Licensed Music" setting.
• Maps: Addressed exploits allowing players to leave the designated play areas in Babylon, Lowtown, and Red Card. Red Card also received stability improvements. General in-game interaction stability was also enhanced.
• Multiplayer: Improved matchmaking to quickly find replacement players, fixed a private match forfeit issue, and resolved a continuous missile sound effect in Scorestreaks.

Further Updates Planned

While many issues have been addressed, Treyarch and Raven Software are working on fixes for remaining problems, such as a death-on-loadout issue in Search & Destroy. Despite these initial post-launch hiccups, Black Ops 6 has been widely praised, particularly for its enjoyable campaign.
