A new patch has just gone live across both Black Ops 6 and Warzone, and while it’s a relatively smaller update, there are a handful of key adjustments in Zombies, Multiplayer, and the Battle Royale you need to know about.
While Black Ops 6 and Warzone continue to struggle as the cheating crisis continues, devs are nonetheless plodding forward with vital changes to the games. These come in the form of bug fixes as well as crucial weapon balancing tweaks to ensure there are no truly overpowered builds ruining the fun.
Most recently, the January 31 patch saw the likes of the XM4 being nerfed and the popular PPSh-41 getting a buff, and now, a few more guns have been thrown under the microscope.
This time around four weapons have been tweaked, spanning Assault Rifles, SMGs, and LMGs, but that’s not all. For Zombies enthusiasts struggling on the new Tomb map, a new fix has been deployed to smoothen out the experience. Below is the full rundown.
Activision
The Tomb has received another crucial fix in the February 3 Black Ops 6 update.
Full Black Ops 6 & Warzone Feb 3 patch notes
Multiplayer
UI
Addressed an issue where mode specific tags were not present for some cosmetic and functional items.
Challenges
Addressed an issue that prevented the “Redemption Arc” Calling Card Challenge from tracking properly.
Stability
Zombies
Maps
The Tomb
Addressed an issue where an Aether Lantern could be unbreakable if it was frozen before starting a Constellation puzzle.
Support
Closed an exploit where the Hand Cannon was causing boosted damage well outside the range of designed balance
We recently mentioned we’re focused on the player experience and not getting in the way of fun in Zombies, and we stand by that when it comes to creative strats and (most) speedrunning tactics. This was a case where an unintended exploit allowed players to trivialize parts of the mode we all love, and could cheapen the experience of reaching high rounds or completing the Main Quest, which should feel like an accomplishment.
We’re focused on closing exploits like these in the early days of each map to allow everyone to experience the level of challenge our designers intended. So before anyone asks: no, the zombies didn’t complain about this one
