Black Ops 6 enthusiasts have more to celebrate just days after the game's launch. The developers at Treyarch have announced the imminent addition of two beloved classics to the game, along with a recent update that addresses several player-reported issues. This ensures a smoother and more engaging gaming experience for fans worldwide.
Black Ops 6 Announces New Mode, Map, And Regular Post-Launch Updates
Infection and Nuketown Roll Out This Week
"Launch was only the beginning. Tomorrow, the Infected are coming to play. Nuketown joins the party on Friday. LFG," Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch announced on Twitter (X), confirming the addition of the fan-favorite multiplayer mode and iconic map to Black Ops 6 this week.
Following its launch last week, Black Ops 6 will introduce the fan-favorite "Infected" party mode starting tomorrow. In this mode, players must fend off and survive against player-controlled zombies. On Friday, November 1, the legendary Nuketown map will make its return, a staple since its debut in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010). Inspired by 1950s US nuclear test sites, Nuketown continues to be a beloved arena for multiplayer action. Activision has also assured players that more modes will be added regularly post-launch. Launched on October 25, Black Ops 6 initially offers 11 standard multiplayer modes, including four alternate modes without Scorestreaks and a Hardcore mode with reduced player health.
Black Ops 6 Update Fixes Several Post-Launch Issues, More Patches Expected Soon
Over the weekend, Black Ops 6 rolled out its first update, addressing issues in both multiplayer and Zombies modes that surfaced post-launch. XP and weapon XP rates have been boosted in Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight. "Our team is closely monitoring XP rates for all modes to ensure players are progressing as expected wherever they play," Activision stated. Here are some of the resolved issues:
- Global:
- Loadouts: The last-selected loadout will now be properly highlighted when opening the Loadouts menu in-game.

- Settings: The 'Mute Licensed Music' setting now functions as intended.
- Maps:
- Babylon: Closed an exploit allowing players to get outside the intended playspace.
- Lowtown: Closed an exploit allowing players to get outside the intended playspace.
- Red Card: Closed an exploit allowing players to get outside the intended playspace and improved stability.
- General: Addressed an issue with stability when using in-game interactions.
- Multiplayer:
- Matchmaking: Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented matches from quickly finding replacement players when someone quit.
- Private Matches: Private Match will no longer forfeit if one team has zero players.
- Scorestreaks: Fixed an issue where the incoming missile sound from the Dreadnought would continuously play.
While some unresolved issues, such as dying upon loadout selection in Search & Destroy, are still pending fixes, developers Treyarch and Raven Software have promised forthcoming patches. Despite these initial hiccups, Black Ops 6 stands out as one of the best Call of Duty titles in recent years, boasting a fun and memorable Campaign.
