Summary
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6and its free-to-play Battle Royale counterpart,Call of Duty: Warzone, have both received a new update that makes some handy adjustments to movement in both games, alongside a few other changes. Following the November 19 update, which was the second patch of the day forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzone, players will now be able to perform the diving and sliding actions much quicker than before.
November 19 was a busy day for Treyarch, as theBlack Ops 6developer released multiple updatesfor the newestCall of Dutytitle. The first patch addressed multiple bugs, such as one that was causing shotguns to have a longer damage range than intended, but also brought back Legacy XP tokens after a huge amount of controversy over the weekend. While the launch ofBlack Ops 6did not see Double XP tokens transfer from 2023’sModern Warfare 3, a surprise update saw them make a triumphant comeback, only for Treyarch to remove them just a few days later. Although Treyarch insisted that the return of the XP tokens was a bug, the community expressed their dissatisfaction with the removal, resulting in their return yesterday afternoon.
Just hours after the shooter’s first update of the day, Treyarch released a secondpatch forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzonewhich reduces the minimum sprint time required to perform dive-to-prone or slide, as well as a fix for an issue that was preventing players from sprinting after performing several actions within a short period of time. Treyarch says these changes apply to bothWarzoneandBlack Ops 6and should result in more responsive movements with fewer occurrences where players attempt to dive or slide but end up crouching instead.
Alongside some other minor bug fixes and adjustments to weapon trade stations, the November 19 update also reduces the reload time forBlack Ops 6assault riflesand light machine guns inWarzoneby 10%. The studio says this change is to improve the overall flow and reduce downtime between gunfights, with future updates aiming to address other weapon classes.
While fans are lovingBlack Ops 6, its integration intoWarzonehasn’t gone down too well with the community due to a variety of issues. Not only was the fan-favorite Resurgence mapRebirth Island removed fromWarzonejust hours after its triumphant return, but Season 1 brought with it a variety of audio issues that are still yet to be completely fixed. Thankfully, with a steady stream of updates continuing to be released for the popular Battle Royale title, each patch comes with more and more improvements.
These changes apply to both Black Ops 6 and Warzone and should result in more responsive movements with fewer occurrences where players attempt to dive to prone or slide and instead crouch. We will continue to assess and identify areas for improved fluidity with omnimovement.
