Summary
A new update has been released forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andCall of Duty: Warzone, just one day removed from the launch of Season 1. The latest update forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzonemakes several notable changes, adds Nuketown 24/7 to the multiplayer playlist, and introduces some features that are supported on the recently released PlayStation 5 Pro.
Black Ops 6andWarzoneSeason 1 began on Thursday, November 14, and added new content across multiplayer, Zombies, and the integratedWarzoneexperience. This content includes new maps, new weapons and gear, andthe Area 99 Resurgence map inWarzone, to name a few. Various updates will be released throughout the season, including a major mid-season update with more maps, weapons, and content additions. Activision, Treyarch, and Raven Software have released another new update for bothCall of Dutytitles to account for the release of the PS5 Pro and fix some unintended bugs.
Firstly, the November 15 update forBlack Ops 6andWarzoneSeason 1increases the total number of custom loadout slots from 10 to 12, giving players on all platforms the same number of slots. This change was made after Xbox and PC players discovered that they only had 10 custom loadout slots to work with, compared to the 12 slots that are still present in the PlayStation version. Moreover, the patch notes confirm that bothBlack Ops 6andWarzonereceived a PS5 Pro Enhanced upgrade with the latest update, so PS5 Pro players now have access to in-game features like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and native 120Hz support. While using PSSR,Black Ops 6andWarzoneplayers can enjoy the games with up to 120 FPS while maintaining the image quality that’s present in the base PS5’s 60 FPS mode. A new variable refresh rate mode will be added at some point later during the season to ensure image quality is more consistent on supported 120Hz displays.
Nuketown 24/7 is another new addition toBlack Ops 6with the November 15 update. The returning fan-favorite 6v6 mode replaces Radioactive 24/7 in Featured, Quickplay, and Hardcore Quickplay playlists. What’s more, legacy XP tokens are no longer usable inBlack Ops 6, which means players can’t gain additional XP from tokens gained inModern Warfare 3. This change appears to be a controversial one on social media since players assumed that their XP tokens were supposed to carry over toBlack Ops 6.
A number of stability improvements and bug fixes were applied toBlack Ops 6andWarzoneas well, with the former receiving a majority of the fixes listed in the patch notes. Previously, a bug caused the Ghost Perk to become unequippable after players unlocked it. The update has fixed this issue, so players can now equip the Ghost Perk and contribute more to their teams. The Ghost Perk is especially useful for taking down UAVs and ambushing opponents inBlack Ops 6’smultiplayer game modes.
