Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Unleashes Infection and Nuketown

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

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

Infected and Nuketown Enhance Black Ops 6

Infected, a staple in the Call of Duty franchise, pits players against AI-controlled zombies. Nuketown, a map first introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), is a fan favorite known for its fast-paced action and setting inspired by 1950s US nuclear test sites. Activision previously confirmed plans for regular post-launch content additions, ensuring continued engagement for players. Black Ops 6, released October 25th, initially launched with 11 standard multiplayer modes, including variations with disabled Scorestreaks and a Hardcore mode.

Black Ops 6 Update Addresses Post-Launch Bugs

The game's first post-launch update addressed several issues affecting both multiplayer and Zombies modes. Improvements include increased XP and weapon XP rates in key game modes (Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight). Activision stated that they are actively monitoring XP rates across all modes. The update also resolved various bugs, including:

• Global: Resolved issues with loadout highlighting, Bailey's operator animation, and the "Mute Licensed Music" setting.
• Maps: Fixed exploits allowing players to exit the designated play areas on Babylon, Lowtown, and Red Card. Stability improvements were also implemented on Red Card. General in-game interaction stability was also addressed.
• Multiplayer: Addressed matchmaking issues preventing quick player replacements, and fixed a bug where Private Matches would forfeit with a team of zero players. The persistent Dreadnought missile sound effect was also resolved.

While some issues remain – such as player deaths during loadout selection in Search & Destroy – developers Treyarch and Raven Software are working on further patches. Despite these initial post-launch challenges, Black Ops 6 is considered by many to be a top-tier Call of Duty title, particularly praising its enjoyable campaign.
