Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Introduces Arachnophobia Mode and Boosts Game Pass Predictions
Call of Duty has unveiled exciting new features for Black Ops 6, launching October 25th on Game Pass. This day-one Game Pass inclusion has sparked analyst debate regarding its impact on Xbox's subscription service.
Black Ops 6 Zombies Gets Arachnophobia-Friendly Update
A new arachnophobia toggle in Black Ops 6 Zombies alters the appearance of spider-like enemies without affecting gameplay. The transformation? Legless, seemingly floating spider zombies! While the aesthetic change is significant, the developers haven't clarified if the hitbox is adjusted accordingly.

A "Pause and Save" feature is also added, allowing solo players in Round-Based mode to pause, save, and resume with full health. This is a significant addition, given the challenging nature of Round-Based maps.
