"Black Ops 6 Unveils New Zombies Features for Season 2"

Summary

• Zombies in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will get a co-op pause feature in Season 2.
• AFK Kick Loadout Recovery will allow players to rejoin with their original loadout.
• Separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies will enhance the user experience.

Exciting updates are on the horizon for fans of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, especially those who enjoy the Zombies mode. As Season 2 approaches, new features and improvements have been unveiled, promising to enrich the gaming experience even further.

Since its debut in World at War over a decade ago, Zombies has remained a beloved and integral part of the Call of Duty franchise. In Black Ops 6, the return of round-based Zombies is accompanied by Treyarch's commitment to creating captivating new environments for players to explore. The upcoming Season 2 update aims to enhance this mode with a range of new features.

While Season 2 will bring significant changes for multiplayer enthusiasts, Zombies players will also see substantial updates. Beyond the introduction of the new Tomb map, Zombies mode will feature various enhancements, from UI improvements to long-awaited additions. One of the most anticipated features is the co-op pause option, which allows players in the same party to pause the game collectively. This feature, which has been requested since the game's launch, will facilitate better strategy planning and breaks during intense gameplay sessions.

Call of Duty Reveals Black Ops 6 Zombies Changes for Season 2

• Challenge Tracking & Near Completion (Zombies and Multiplayer)
  • Players can manually track up to 10 Calling Card Challenges and 10 Camo Challenges per mode, making it easier to monitor progress.
  • If fewer than 10 challenges are tracked, slots will automatically show challenges close to completion, helping players identify and complete them more efficiently.
  • The top tracked or near-completion Calling Card Challenge and Camo Challenge 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 for everyone, allowing for strategic regrouping or breaks during high-round runs. This long-requested feature is set to debut in Season 2.
• AFK Kick Loadout Recovery
  • Players kicked for inactivity in co-op games can now rejoin and recover their original loadout, reducing frustration and preserving progress in Zombies runs.
• Separate HUD Presets for Zombies and Multiplayer
  • Players can now set up different HUD presets for Zombies and multiplayer, eliminating the need to adjust settings when switching between modes. This feature, though delayed due to higher priorities, will enhance the user experience.

Alongside the co-op pause, the "AFK Kick Loadout Recovery" feature ensures that players who are inadvertently kicked from matches can rejoin and maintain their original loadout. This is crucial for Zombies, where progression is key, and losing weapons, perks, and points can be a major setback.

Additionally, players will soon be able to create separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies, streamlining the transition between modes. The ability to manually track up to 10 Calling Card Challenges and Camo Challenges for both multiplayer and Zombies will simplify progression through Black Ops 6's extensive collection of cards.

Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to launch on January 28, 2025, bringing these exciting updates to eager players.
