Black Ops 6: Infection, Nuketown Modes Arrive

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 receives two classic game modes and a beloved map this week, following a recent update addressing post-launch issues.

Infection and Nuketown Arrive This Week

Treyarch, the developer, announced via Twitter (X) the imminent arrival of the popular "Infected" mode and the iconic Nuketown map. "Infected" mode, a staple in the Call of Duty franchise, pits players against AI-controlled zombies, launching tomorrow. Nuketown, the 1950s-themed map first introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), will be added on November 1st. Activision previously confirmed plans for regular post-launch content updates. Black Ops 6, released October 25th, initially included 11 standard multiplayer modes, four alternate modes without Scorestreaks, and a Hardcore mode.

Black Ops 6 Update Addresses Numerous Bugs

A weekend update addressed various multiplayer and Zombies mode issues. Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight now feature increased XP and weapon XP rates. Activision stated they are actively monitoring XP rates across all game modes. The update also resolved several problems including:

• Global Issues:

  • Loadout selection highlighting is now correctly displayed.
  • Bailey's Operator menu animation has been fixed.
  • The "Mute Licensed Music" setting is now functional.

• Map Issues:

  • Exploits allowing players to exit the intended play area in Babylon, Lowtown, and Red Card have been patched.
  • Red Card map stability has been improved.
  • General in-game interaction stability has been addressed.

• Multiplayer Issues:

  • Matchmaking now more efficiently finds replacements for players who leave matches.
  • Private matches will no longer forfeit if a team has zero players.
  • The continuous Dreadnought missile sound effect has been fixed.

Further fixes for unresolved issues, such as the issue where players die on loadout selection in Search & Destroy, are planned. Despite these post-launch adjustments, Black Ops 6 is considered by many to be a top-tier Call of Duty title, particularly praising its engaging campaign.
