Key Takeaways
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Prop Hunt mode launched earlier this week, but fans are already getting frustrated.
- One of the biggest issues is the unlimited ammo that players get, as they’re sick of opponents spraying down rooms with gunfire.
- Other issues include the lack of effect that flashes have on players, whil others think the prop whistle feature is bugged.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players have been sharing clips of themselves running around as pianos and furniture, so that can only mean one thing. Prop Hunt has been added to Black Ops 6 with the game’s latest update, a fun little mode that sees players disguise themselves as random bits of scenery, while another team has to hunt them down and take them out.
It’s supposed to be a silly bit of fun in an otherwise gritty and competitive shooter, but there already seems to be some frustrations that players are venting about on social media (thanks Game Rant). One such player is Reddit user Jaffamuncher, who recently posted on the BlackOps6 subreddit that the mode is “so bad”, and lists out their problems with the mode.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Prop Hunt Is Already Frustrating Fans
To start with, Jaffamuncher is irritated by how little flashes initiated by props actually help you run and hide. They’re supposed to give props a chance to find a new position, but Jaffamuncher claims that they do “f*** all” in comparison to other games. Another big criticism that Jaffamuncher, and quite a few other players have, is the ability for players to just spray everything in sight with unlimited ammunition.
It’s such an issue at the moment that another Reddit post by a user called PC-Tamer popped up earlier today too, showing off an image of a fan wishing that enemy players in prop hunt would actually take damage when shooting random objects like the original Prop Hunt mode in Garry’s Mod.
These issues have started discussions among fans as to how Activision should remedy this problem, with one user called TJ_Dot suggesting that limited ammo could help balance the game, whilst also not punishing players too badly for wanting to test whether an item is actually a player.
One other issue raised by players is that the whistle audio from props doesn’t seem to be working as intended. Rather than give players an idea as to where a prop actually is, players are reporting hearing whistles miles away from the prop making the noise, leading some to believe the feature may be bugged. All of these issues combined paint a rather grim picture, and it’s pretty clear that fans would like to see some tweaks to Prop Hunt so it can actually be considered a fun little mode again.
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
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.
