CoD: Black Ops 6 Patch Undoes Unpopular Zombies Adjustment

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Update Reverses Controversial Zombies Change

Treyarch has addressed player concerns regarding recent changes to Black Ops 6's Zombies mode, specifically the Directed Mode. A recent update has reverted a controversial alteration to zombie spawn delays, restoring them to approximately 20 seconds after five looped rounds. This decision follows significant player feedback indicating the previous change negatively impacted gameplay and challenge completion.

The January 3rd update, which introduced the change, also included adjustments to the Citadelle des Morts map and significant buffs to the Shadow Rift Ammo Mod. The community expressed frustration with the extended time between rounds and the increased spawn delay, hindering kill farming and camo challenges. Treyarch acknowledged these concerns, confirming the reversal in their January 9th patch notes.

The January 9th update also includes:

• Citadelle des Morts Fixes: Numerous bug fixes addressing visual effects glitches, crashes related to the Void Sheath Augment, and issues impacting quest progression.
• Shadow Rift Buffs: Substantial improvements to the Shadow Rift Ammo Mod, increasing activation rates for normal, special, and elite enemies (with the Big Game Augment). The cooldown timer has also been reduced by 25%.
• Global Fixes: Addressing various issues across the game, including visual bugs in the Events tab and audio problems with event milestone banners.
• Multiplayer Enhancements: Increased XP rewards in the Red Light, Green Light mode and various stability improvements.

Further adjustments and bug fixes, including a fix for a Vermin double-attack bug, are slated for the Black Ops 6 Season 2 update on January 28th. Players are encouraged to complete the Citadelle des Morts main quest before the end of Season 1 Reloaded.

Key Changes Summarized:

• Directed Mode Spawn Delay: Reverted to previous settings.
• Citadelle des Morts: Multiple bug fixes and stability improvements.
• Shadow Rift Ammo Mod: Significant buffs to activation rates and cooldown.
• General Improvements: Various bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements across the game.
