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. This feature helps keep track of ongoing challenges and makes it easier to identify those close to completion.
  • If fewer than 10 challenges are tracked, the system will display the nearest challenges to completion in those slots.
  • Both the top Tracked and Near Completion Calling Card and Camo Challenges 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 pause the game, allowing everyone to regroup or take a break. This feature, requested since the game's launch, will be implemented in Season 2.

• AFK Kick Loadout Recovery

  • Players kicked for being AFK can now rejoin their game and recover their original loadout. This is crucial for maintaining progression in Zombies, reducing the frustration of losing weapons, perks, and points.

• 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, though delayed due to other priorities, will enhance the overall user experience.

The "AFK Kick Loadout Recovery" feature ensures that players who are unexpectedly kicked from a game can return with their original loadout, preserving their progress and reducing frustration. This is particularly important in Zombies, where maintaining progression is key.

Additionally, the ability to create separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies will streamline the gaming experience, allowing players to tailor their interface settings to each mode without constant adjustments. The new challenge tracking system will make it easier for players to manage and complete their Calling Card and Camo Challenges across both modes.

Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is scheduled to launch on January 28, 2025, and these updates are poised to enhance the gameplay for Zombies enthusiasts and multiplayer fans alike.
