Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 receives two classic game modes and a beloved map this week, just days after its release. Treyarch, the developer, announced via Twitter (X) that the popular "Infected" mode arrives Thursday, followed by the iconic Nuketown map on Friday, November 1st.
Infected and Nuketown Enhance Black Ops 6
"Infected," a staple in the Call of Duty franchise, pits survivors against AI-controlled zombies. Nuketown, a map first introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), is a fan favorite known for its fast-paced action in a 1950s nuclear test site setting. Activision previously confirmed plans for regular post-launch content additions, ensuring continued player engagement beyond the initial launch. Black Ops 6 initially launched with 11 standard multiplayer modes, including variations with disabled Scorestreaks and a Hardcore mode.
Black Ops 6 Update Addresses Post-Launch Bugs
A recent update addressed several issues reported by players. Improvements include increased XP and weapon XP rates in various modes (Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight), along with fixes for loadout highlighting, operator animations, and the "Mute Licensed Music" setting. Several map exploits were also patched (Babylon, Lowtown, Red Card), and multiplayer matchmaking and private match stability were improved.
While some issues remain (e.g., death upon loadout selection in Search & Destroy), developers Treyarch and Raven Software are actively working on further patches. Despite these minor post-launch hiccups, Black Ops 6 is considered by many to be a top-tier Call of Duty title, particularly praising its enjoyable campaign.
