Not only is Black Ops 6 attracting a record number of players, but the game has also earned critical acclaim, becoming the highest-rated new Call of Duty game in years.

Like its predecessors, Black Ops 6 is expected to have a significant post-launch life with new content released on a regular basis. The first batch of post-launch content is in the game as of now, with players able to duke it out on the classic Nuketown map that first appeared in the original Black Ops all the way back in 2010. Along with Nuketown, a new update has been distributed that makes bug fixes and addresses other issues with the game.

The latest Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 update is available right now and upon downloading it, fans should notice improvements across the board.

The new update also targets problems specific to Black Ops 6 multiplayer and Zombies.

On the multiplayer front, the new update has removed Lowtown from the Infected playlist, and it has also made it possible for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players to host Private Infected matches. It has also fixed an issue with Black Ops 6 Free-for-All where players were winning the match based on their total score as opposed to their total kills. Various problems with Black Ops 6 weapons and scorestreaks have also been addressed.

As far as Zombies goes, the new Black Ops 6 update fixes the GobbleGum exploit, as well as an exploit on Terminus Island that let players block zombies using a tactical rift. Additionally, the UI limit has been adjusted from 256 to 999. Fans can expect new updates to be released for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on a regular basis. The next major update should arrive on November 14, as that’s the day that Black Ops 6 Season 1 officially kicks off.
