Exciting updates are on the horizon for fans of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Zombies mode, as Season 2 approaches with a slew of new features. The Zombies mode, a beloved staple since its debut in World at War over a decade ago, continues to evolve in Black Ops 6. With the return of round-based Zombies and the introduction of new, immersive locations, Treyarch is set to enhance the gameplay experience even further.
While Season 2 promises a host of changes for multiplayer enthusiasts, Zombies players are in for a treat with the introduction of the new Tomb map and several eagerly awaited features. One of the standout additions is the co-op pause option, allowing players in the same party to pause the game together—a long-requested feature that will make high-round runs more manageable and enjoyable.
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 display the nearest challenges to completion, helping players identify and complete them more efficiently.
- The top Tracked or Near Completion Calling Card Challenge and Camo Challenge will be visible in the Lobby and in-game via the Options Menu.
Co-op Pause
- In matches where all players are in the same party, the party leader can now pause the game, allowing everyone to regroup or take a break during intense rounds. This feature, highly requested since the game's launch, will be introduced in Season 2.
AFK Kick Loadout Recovery
- Players who are kicked for being AFK can now rejoin the game and recover their original loadout, minimizing the frustration of losing progress due to inactivity.
Separate HUD Presets for Zombies and Multiplayer
- Players can now set up different HUD Preset settings for Zombies and multiplayer, eliminating the need to adjust settings when switching between modes. This feature, although delayed due to higher priorities, will enhance the user experience.
The "AFK Kick Loadout Recovery" feature is particularly noteworthy, as it addresses the issue of losing weapons, perks, and points due to being kicked from a match. This will help maintain the flow of progression in Zombies runs, reducing player frustration.
Additionally, the ability to create separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies will streamline the gaming experience, while the new challenge tracking system will make it easier to progress through Black Ops 6's extensive collection of Calling Card and Camo Challenges.
Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to launch on January 28, 2025, bringing these exciting updates to players eager to dive back into the action.
