Exciting updates are on the horizon for fans of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6*, especially those who enjoy the Zombies mode. As Season 2 approaches, slated for release on January 28, 2025, a slew of new features have been teased that promise to enhance the gameplay experience significantly.
Zombies mode, a staple of the *Call of Duty* franchise since its debut in *World at War*, continues to captivate players with its thrilling gameplay and immersive environments. In *Black Ops 6*, the mode not only returns with its classic round-based format but also introduces new maps like the eagerly anticipated Tomb map. Treyarch is committed to evolving the mode, and Season 2 brings several highly anticipated changes.
Call of Duty Reveals Black Ops 6 Zombies Changes for Season 2
Challenge Tracking & Near Completion (Zombies and Multiplayer)
- Players can now manually track up to 10 Calling Card Challenges and 10 Camo Challenges per mode, making it easier to monitor progress.
- If fewer than 10 challenges are tracked, the system will automatically display the nearest challenges to completion, helping players identify and complete them more efficiently.
- The top tracked or near-completion challenges for both Calling Cards and Camo will be visible in the Lobby and in-game via the Options Menu.
Co-op Pause
- A long-requested feature, co-op pause allows the party leader to pause the game during matches where all players are in the same party. This is perfect for strategizing or taking a quick break during intense rounds.
AFK Kick Loadout Recovery
- If a player is kicked for being AFK (away from keyboard) in a co-op game, they can now rejoin and recover their original loadout. This feature aims to reduce frustration by preserving player progression, including weapons, perks, and points.
Separate HUD Presets for Zombies and Multiplayer
- Players can now set up different HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer, eliminating the need to adjust settings when switching between modes. This feature, although delayed due to higher priorities, is a welcome addition for enhancing user experience.
These updates are designed to improve the overall gameplay experience in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6*. The introduction of co-op pausing, loadout recovery, and customizable HUD presets reflects Treyarch's dedication to listening to player feedback and enhancing the beloved Zombies mode. Additionally, the new challenge tracking system will make it easier for players to progress through the game's extensive collection of challenges.
As Season 2 of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* approaches, fans can look forward to these exciting changes that promise to make the game even more engaging and enjoyable. Mark your calendars for January 28, 2025, and get ready to dive back into the action with these new features at your fingertips.
