Breaking: Black Ops 6 Unveils Infection and Nuketown Modes

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

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

Infected, a staple in the Call of Duty franchise, pits players against AI-controlled zombies. Nuketown, originally featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), is a multiplayer map set in a 1950s American nuclear test site. Activision previously confirmed plans for regular post-launch content additions. Black Ops 6, released October 25th, initially included 11 standard multiplayer modes, along with variations and a Hardcore mode.

A recent update addressed several post-launch issues affecting both multiplayer and Zombies modes. Improvements include increased XP rates in select game modes (Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight) and numerous bug fixes. Activision stated they are actively monitoring XP rates across all modes. Here's a summary of resolved issues:

Global:

• Loadouts: Resolved an issue with loadout highlighting in the Loadouts menu.
• Operators: Fixed an animation problem with Bailey's Operator model.
• Settings: The "Mute Licensed Music" setting now functions correctly.

Maps:

• Babylon, Lowtown, Red Card: Exploits allowing players to exit the intended play area have been closed. Red Card also received stability improvements.
• General: Addressed a stability issue related to in-game interactions.

Multiplayer:

• Matchmaking: Fixed an issue occasionally preventing quick replacement of players who left matches.
• Private Matches: Private matches will no longer forfeit if a team has zero players.
• Scorestreaks: Resolved an issue causing the Dreadnought's missile sound to loop continuously.

Developers Treyarch and Raven Software are working on further fixes for remaining issues, such as player deaths upon loadout selection in Search & Destroy. Despite these initial post-launch challenges, Black Ops 6 has received positive feedback, particularly for its enjoyable campaign.
