Black Ops 6 Update Fixes Frustrating Gunsmith Issue

Treyarch releases a new fix for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, addressing the recently discovered Gunsmith issue that has left the community frustrated. As a live service title, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is constantly updated with updates large and small.

Following a recent Call of DUty: Black Ops 6 update, players have noticed a strange issue happening when using the Gunsmith feature in multiplayer. While attempting to customize a weapon with a new optic sight, players have been frustrated by a bug that deselects the optic once the weapon has been edited again. Essentially, once the player attempts to edit the weapon again in Gunsmith, the previously selected optic would be removed completely, leaving the weapon with the default iron sights option.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
