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 mode, specifically the Directed Mode spawn delay. Following negative feedback, the January 9th update reverted the controversial adjustment that extended the time between rounds and zombie spawns after five looped rounds. This change, implemented in the January 3rd update, had frustrated players due to its impact on kill farming and camo challenges.

The update also includes several improvements:

• Citadelle des Morts Fixes: Numerous bug fixes were applied to the Citadelle des Morts map's Directed Mode, addressing issues with quest progression, guidance inaccuracies, and visual glitches. A crash issue related to the Void Sheath Augment for Aether Shroud was also resolved.

• Shadow Rift Buff: The Shadow Rift Ammo Mod received significant buffs, increasing activation rates for normal, special, and elite enemies (the latter with the Big Game Augment equipped). Its cooldown timer was also reduced by 25%.

• Global Improvements: General fixes included addressing visual issues with Maya's "Joyride" Operator Skin, the Events tab, and in-game audio for event milestones. Multiplayer stability was also enhanced.

Looking Ahead:

The January 9th update marks a step towards improving the overall Zombies experience. Further bug fixes and adjustments are planned for the Black Ops 6 Season 2 update launching January 28th. This includes resolving remaining issues such as the Vermin double-attack bug. The Dead Light, Green Light Limited Time Mode (LTM) also received updates, adding Liberty Falls to the map selection and increasing the round cap to 20.
