Summary
- Calls for nerfed Care Package capture speed are growing on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 subreddit.
- Players have experienced teammates stealing Care Packages instantly after landing.
- Activision and Treyarch are aware of the issue, but no fix is currently in the pipeline.
It wasn’t that long ago that Activision announced a major rework to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Care Packages, which would finally make them worth using. In an early January update, it was confirmed that Scout Pulses would be less common in the Scorestreak, meaning players would have a higher chance of getting something decent.

Activision seemingly can and will find you and ban you.
That update certainly solved one of the streak’s major issues, but it wasn’t enough for many players. Since the change, there have been multiple calls from fans for the speed at which their teammates can capture a Care Package to be nerfed.
Black Ops 6 Players Are Calling For Care Package Capture Speed Nerfs
Over on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 subreddit, there have been numerous calls for nerfed Care Package capture speeds, the most pertinent coming from Reddit user and Black Ops 6 player freezerwaffles.
In a video shared on Reddit, freezerwaffles can be seen deploying a Care Package near their spawn on Nuketown. Within milliseconds of the package touching down, the player sprints towards it, racing against one of their teammates. But by the time freezerwaffles was there, ready to collect the package, their teammate had already stolen it.
There was physically no way they could have been quicker to the punch, but they were still usurped by their team, highlighting just how bad the issue is.
The good news is, despite how frustrating this issue can be, Activision and Treyarch are actively looking into it. On the game’s Trello page, there is an active card that states, “Care Packages can be claimed by teammates faster than intended.”
Unfortunately, the card has been live since January 9 and is still ‘under investigation’, so it doesn’t seem like a fix is close, but at least it has been acknowledged by the game’s development team.
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.
