Black Ops 6 Unveils Infection, Nuketown Updates

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Receives Classic Modes and Map, Addresses Post-Launch Issues

Following its recent release, Black Ops 6 is adding two highly-anticipated game modes and a beloved map this week. Treyarch, the developer, announced via Twitter (X) that the popular "Infected" mode will launch tomorrow, followed by the iconic Nuketown map on November 1st.

Infected, a staple in the Call of Duty franchise, pits survivors against player-controlled zombies. Nuketown, first introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), is a multiplayer map set in a 1950s-era nuclear test site. Activision previously confirmed plans for regular post-launch content additions. Black Ops 6 launched with 11 standard multiplayer modes, including variations with disabled Scorestreaks and a Hardcore mode.

The game also received its first update addressing several post-launch issues in both multiplayer and Zombies modes. This update included XP rate increases for various game modes and fixes for several bugs, including:

• Global: Resolved issues with loadout highlighting, Bailey's operator animation, and the "Mute Licensed Music" setting.
• Maps: Fixed exploits allowing players to leave the designated play areas on Babylon, Lowtown, and Red Card maps. Improved Red Card map stability and addressed general in-game interaction stability issues.
• Multiplayer: Addressed matchmaking issues, preventing private matches from forfeiting with zero players on a team, and fixed a continuous missile sound effect bug.

While some issues, such as player deaths during loadout selection in Search & Destroy, remain to be addressed, developers Treyarch and Raven Software are actively working on further patches. Despite these initial hiccups, Black Ops 6 is considered by many to be a strong entry in the Call of Duty series, particularly praising its enjoyable campaign. For a full review, see the link below!
