A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player prompted a discussion about the game’s selection of weapons, specifically how Treyarch’s latest venture into the world of its Black Ops franchise is missing a staple of previous titles: a revolver. Traditionally, most Call of Duty games have featured a powerful revolver and/or hand cannon as a secondary. However, this is not the case in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, leading players to hope a future update will solve this problem.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is certainly one of 2024’s biggest and most exciting releases, taking fans back into the world of Treyarch’s decades-spanning Black Ops saga. Black Ops 6 picks up where Cold War left off with Treyarch taking certain elements of its previous game and making a few much-needed tweaks and improvements. Cold War famously suffered from a rushed development cycle, something Black Ops 6 seems to fix with its new systems, modes, and, of course, weapons. However, players recently discussed the lack of a powerful pistol in Black Ops 6, something they hope to see change in the future.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Gets Massive Discount at GameStop
GameStop treats multiple versions of Black Ops 6 to a massive discount just six weeks following the latest Call of Duty game’s release.
Reddit user No_Outcome_6874 sparked a discussion within the Black Ops 6 community after commenting on the lack of a revolver in the game. “How can there not be a revolver in this game,” asks the user. “Isn’t this the 90s?” It’s a good point, with Black Ops 6‘s arsenal featuring plenty of staples in the Assault Rifle and Submachine gun categories. Black Ops 6‘s sidearm catalog feels lacking in comparison, something quite curious for a franchise with some incredibly famous secondaries.
Black Ops 6 Players Criticize Lack of Revolver
Black Ops 6‘s arsenal is rather large, but the absence of a powerful pistol is certainly noticeable. Previous Call of Duty titles have always tried to shake things up when it came to secondary weapons, with the original Black Ops famously featuring a crossbow and ballistic knife. The first Black Ops also featured plenty of unique secondary weapons, as well as the super-powerful Python revolver. The trend of fun and powerful secondary weapons continued, with Black Ops 2 featuring some of the same secondary weapons, as well as the new B23R automatic pistol.
It’s likely players will see both the crossbow and ballistic knife return in Black Ops 6 as the game’s seasonal updates continue to be released over the coming year. Classic maps have already made a return, such as Black Ops 4‘s Hacienda and Call of Duty‘s iconic Nuketown, indicating nostalgia may continue to be a very powerful force for Black Ops 6. After all, the final level-up reward in Black Ops 6 is a direct reference to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, possibly hinting at what’s to come for the franchise. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is currently in the middle of its Season 1 update, with Season 2 kicking off on January 28, 2025.
