Last week, Treyarch Studiosteased the return of an iconic SMG forBlack Ops 6Season 2. In a new blog post discussing the next Zombies map, the studio said that one of the most “iconic” SMGs in Zombies history would be “coming along for the ride.” Fans were quick to theorize that Treyarch was teasing the return of the MP40, but a new leak from data minerHeyImAlaixnow has fans under the impression that it could be the PPSH-41. The leaker took to Twitter to reveal that a file name for an upcoming SMG had been discovered. The file, which is named “t10_sm_p41_perth” has led fans to believe that it is for the PPSH-41 due to the file name including “p41.”
Treyarch has yet to confirm which SMG is returning later this month, but with therelease date forBlack Ops 6Season 2fast approaching, fans are expecting to hear more details in the coming days. A recent community update from Activision did briefly touch on what to expect fromBlack Ops 6Season 2, stating that there would be “new maps, modes, and rewards” coming on day one. Plus, players can also expect a long list of gameplay improvements and bug fixes, including a new challenge tracker, a separate HUD preset setting for Multiplayer and Zombies, a reduction in teammate collision to improve maneuverability, and much more.
A lot is riding on Season 2, asCall of Duty’s player count has continued to declineon Steam since the launch ofBlack Ops 6in October. While the latest entry in the series was a huge hit at launch, over 50% of players on Steam have stopped playing in recent weeks. While there’s no way to know the exact reason for every player, many believe it is largely due to the current state ofWarzoneandBlack Ops 6’s Ranked Play modes. With cheaters running rampant and various bugs plaguing Ranked Play, many are eager to see Season 2 make some much-needed changes.
