Exciting updates are on the horizon for fans of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6*, especially those who enjoy the Zombies mode. As Season 2 approaches, slated for release on January 28, 2025, a slew of new features and enhancements have been announced that promise to elevate the gaming experience to new heights.
Zombies mode, a beloved staple since its debut in *World at War* over a decade ago, continues to captivate players in *Black Ops 6*. With the return of round-based Zombies and the introduction of the new Tomb map, Treyarch is set to deliver immersive new environments for players to explore. But the excitement doesn't stop there; Season 2 is bringing a host of changes designed to enhance the Zombies experience even further.
Call of Duty Reveals Black Ops 6 Zombies Changes for Season 2
Challenge Tracking & Near Completion (Zombies and Multiplayer)
- Players can now manually track up to 10 Calling Card Challenges and 10 Camo Challenges per mode, making it easier to monitor progress.
- If fewer than 10 challenges are tracked, the system will automatically display the nearest challenges to completion, helping players identify and complete them more efficiently.
- The top tracked or near-completion challenges for both Calling Cards and Camo will be visible in the Lobby and in-game via the Options Menu.
Co-op Pause
- A long-awaited feature, co-op pause allows the party leader to pause the game for everyone in the same party. This is perfect for strategizing or taking a quick break during intense rounds.
AFK Kick Loadout Recovery
- If a player is kicked for being AFK in a co-op game, they can now rejoin and recover their original loadout, minimizing the frustration of losing progress.
Separate HUD Presets for Zombies and Multiplayer
- Players can now set up different HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer, eliminating the need to adjust settings when switching between modes.
The introduction of the co-op pause feature is a game-changer for Zombies enthusiasts, allowing for better coordination and breaks during gameplay. Additionally, the "AFK Kick Loadout Recovery" feature addresses a common pain point by allowing players to rejoin games with their original loadouts, ensuring that progress isn't lost due to unexpected disconnections.
The ability to set separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer is another significant improvement, offering a more tailored experience for each mode. And with the new challenge tracking system, players can more easily keep tabs on their progress through *Black Ops 6*'s extensive collection of Calling Card and Camo Challenges.
These updates showcase Treyarch's commitment to enhancing the *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* experience, particularly for Zombies fans. With Season 2 just around the corner, players have much to look forward to as they dive into the thrilling world of Zombies once again.
