Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 is bringing exciting updates, particularly for Zombies fans. This highly anticipated season builds upon the legacy of Zombies, a beloved mode since its debut in World at War over a decade ago. Black Ops 6 continues this tradition with engaging round-based Zombies gameplay and immersive new maps. Treyarch is actively refining the experience, introducing several improvements based on player feedback.
While Season 2 delivers substantial multiplayer enhancements, Zombies players will also benefit from significant additions. Beyond the new Tomb map, players can expect several quality-of-life improvements. A key addition is the highly requested co-op pause option, allowing players in the same party to pause the game collaboratively for strategic discussions or breaks during intense high-round gameplay.
Call of Duty Reveals Black Ops 6 Zombies Changes for Season 2
- Challenge Tracking & Near Completion (Zombies and Multiplayer): Manually track up to 10 Calling Card and 10 Camo Challenges per mode. The system also highlights Challenges nearing completion, aiding players in identifying and prioritizing their progress. Tracked and near-completion Challenges are visible in the lobby and in-game options menu.
- Co-op Pause: Party leaders can pause the game for all party members in co-op matches, enabling strategy sessions or brief interruptions during gameplay.
- AFK Kick Loadout Recovery: Players kicked for inactivity can rejoin matches and recover their original loadouts, mitigating frustration from unexpected disconnections.
- Separate HUD Presets for Zombies and Multiplayer: Customize HUD settings independently for Zombies and multiplayer modes, eliminating the need to switch settings between game modes.
Complementing the co-op pause feature is AFK Kick Loadout Recovery. This prevents players from losing their progress and loadouts if disconnected for inactivity. Maintaining loadouts is crucial in Zombies, where losing weapons, perks, and points can significantly hinder progression. This feature aims to alleviate frustration caused by unintended disconnections.
The ability to create separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies further enhances player experience, eliminating the hassle of readjusting settings between modes. Finally, the improved challenge tracking system allows players to manage up to 10 Calling Card and Camo Challenges per mode, streamlining progress through the game's extensive challenge collection. Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches January 28, 2025.
