CoD Black Ops 6: How To Play Red Light, Green Light

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's thrilling new game mode, Red Light, Green Light, brings the suspense of Netflix's hit show, Squid Game, to life. Players compete to be the last one standing in Young-hee's deadly game. This mode perfectly captures the show's intense tension and high stakes, complete with the infamous lethal punishment for rule-breakers.

Gameplay mirrors the show's iconic challenge, demanding precise timing, skillful strategy, and nerves of steel. This guide will walk you through the mode and offer tips for dominating your opponents.

How to Play Red Light, Green Light in BO6

To enter the fray, select the "Red Light, Green Light" playlist from the main menu. The objective? Survive each wave by reaching the opposite side of the playing field. The key is to freeze completely when Young-hee stops singing and turns around, then sprint towards the finish line only when she sings again with her back to you.

Early rounds are relatively simple, but later rounds introduce a strategic twist: floating blue squares. Collecting these squares grants you a knife, allowing you to eliminate other players. This adds a layer of intense competition to the already nail-biting gameplay. Golden piggy banks also appear, offering bonus XP for increased event reward progress.

Black Ops 6 Red Light, Green Light Tips and Tricks

To avoid Young-hee's deadly gaze, absolute stillness is paramount when she's not singing. Check for controller stick drift (analog stick input without touching it), which the game registers as movement. Similarly, ensure your microphone is muted, as sound is also detected as movement.

To calibrate your controller's dead zone, navigate to the controller settings in Black Ops 6. Locate the Dead Zone section and use the testing feature to adjust the settings until both sticks register zero when stationary. A dead zone value between 5 and 10 (or higher, depending on your controller) is usually ideal.

Patience is your greatest weapon. Confirm your stillness using the on-screen indicator before Young-hee turns. While the urge to push forward during the singing phase is strong, avoid rushing; it often leads to accidental movement and elimination. Controlled, cautious progress is key to survival.

Mastering Black Ops 6's Red Light, Green Light requires precise timing and preparation. A properly functioning controller and a muted microphone are crucial. Avoid running in a straight line to prevent ambushes from knife-wielding opponents. Follow these tips to conquer this Squid Game-inspired challenge and claim victory.
