Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Bringing Back Controversial Perk

Key Takeaways

  • Treyarch confirms the controversial Last Stand perk will be returning in Black Ops as a field upgrade.
  • Now known as Morphine Injector, players will be able to enter a Last Stand state where they can be revived by teammates or self-revive by getting a kill.
  • Fans aren’t happy with the return of Last Stand, stating that the perk was “removed for a reason.”

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Call of Duty under my belt, I must admit, I find myself caught between nostalgia and caution regarding the return of Last Stand, now rebranded as Morphine Injector, in Black Ops 6. On one hand, I remember the thrill of the last-ditch effort revives from Modern Warfare 2, but on the other, I can’t help but recall the frustration it caused when faced against an enemy with this perk.


The developers at Treyarch Studios have announced that they will reintroduce a contentious feature known as Last Stand, which hasn’t been part of Call of Duty‘s multiplayer since 2009 with Modern Warfare 2. Although some fans of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 have expressed disappointment, the once-controversial feature has been transformed into a field upgrade with a fresh Morphine Injector.

As the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 inches closer, it’s been an exciting week filled with updates from Treyarch and Activision. Yesterday, they unveiled an extensive rundown of everything we can expect in the upcoming shooter – from weapons like the classic XM4 to innovative scorestreaks such as the A.G.R Mk1, a remote-controlled assault tank equipped with a machine gun and grenade launcher.

Call of Duty Confirms Last Stand Perk Returning For Black Ops 6

Treyarch has unveiled more details about Black Ops 6, focusing this time on the game’s field upgrades. One of these upgrades is the return of a controversial feature from Modern Warfare 2, known as Last Stand, which will now be called Morphine Injector. As mentioned in a recent blog post, players can expect to unlock the Morphine Injector at level 44. This upgrade allows users, upon receiving fatal damage, to enter a state similar to Last Stand. Teammates can then attempt to revive the player, or the user can opt for self-revival by getting a kill. It’s presumed, although not yet confirmed, that players will be equipped with a default pistol when in the downed state, much like the original Last Stand.

The upcoming game, Black Ops 6, is introducing significant alterations to the series, yet the resurrection of Last Stand as a field upgrade has sparked dissatisfaction among fans. On Reddit, Potential_Owl7825 expressed hope that the Morphine Injector would have an extremely lengthy recharge period, suggesting it should be limited to two uses per match. Meanwhile, OhMyTummyHurts stated that Last Stand was taken out for a valid reason, and its return is met with disappointment, being described as a “loss.

On previous occasions, fans have voiced their discontent over one of the game’s field upgrades, and this time it’s Sleeper Agent from Black Ops 6 that’s causing a stir. After getting a chance to play the shooter during its two beta weekends earlier in the year, fans immediately asked for a significant modification to Sleeper Agent. The contentious field upgrade, which can be unlocked at level 51, enables players to infiltrate the enemy team, appearing friendly to them for a brief period. Numerous users suggested that the upgrade should be transformed into a scorestreak, but according to Treyarch’s most recent blog post, it will remain unchanged for the game’s launch.
