Summary
More information has been revealed aboutCall of Duty: Black Ops 6’s upcoming Season 2 update, including several new features fans of the game’s Zombies mode won’t want to miss. This news dropped as part of a new tease for Season 2 ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, which is right around the corner.
Over a decade after its initial launch inWorld at War,Zombies continues to be one ofCall of Duty’s most popularand prominent offerings, something that continues inBlack Ops 6. Not only is round-based Zombies back inBlack Ops 6, but Treyarch seems keen on developing enthralling and immersive new locations for players to explore, with the game on the cusp of making several changes that seek to improve the mode even further.
While Season 2 will bring a ton of changes for multiplayer fans to dig into, Zombies will be getting some attention as well. Aside fromBlack Ops 6’s new Tomb map, Zombies fans will have a whole plate of new features to use and hopefully enjoy, ranging from UI improvements to other highly-requested additions. Among these new features is a co-op pause option, which allows those in the same party to pause the game together. Pausing and saving in Zombies is one of the new features introduced withBlack Ops 6, with co-op pausing being requested for quite some time.
Alongside this new pause feature is somethingCall of Dutycalls “AFK Kick Loadout Recovery,” which essentially acts as a way for players who get booted from matches for being inactive, a way to rejoin and keep their original loadout. Progression is one of themost important parts of aBlack Ops 6Zombies run, and as such, losing weapons, perks, and points can be a huge roadblock. This feature seeks to limit frustrations felt by players who were kicked from games either prematurely or for reasons out of their control.
Players will also soon have the ability to create separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies, cutting out on the annoyance of having to adjust the settings when switching modes. Finally, players will have the ability to manually track up to 10 Calling Card Challenges and Camo Challengers for both multiplayer and Zombies, making progressing throughBlack Ops 6’s rather large collectionof cards easier and more user-friendly. Season 2 ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6launches on July 21, 2025.
