Black Ops 6’s Omnimovement Mechanics Can’t Be Switched Off

As a long-time Call of Duty fan, I have been eagerly anticipating the release of Black Ops 6 and the new feature, Omnimovement. The recent confusion surrounding this movement mechanic has left many players, including myself, curious about how it works and whether we can turn it off.


As an avid gamer excited for Black Ops 6, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the new feature called Omnimovement. But lately, I’ve noticed a lot of confusion among the gaming community regarding this innovation. Some players have been wondering if they can turn it off or even what it does exactly. Fortunately, Activision has decided to address these concerns through their official Call of Duty podcast, providing much-needed clarity on Omnimovement for all us curious gamers. You can check out the podcast below for more details.

What is Black Ops 6 Omnimovement?

Yesterday saw the debut of the official Call of Duty podcast, where the focus of the initial episode was on introducing the new Omnimovement feature. In simple terms, Stephanie, who is the Senior Director of Studio Communications, began by discussing this gameplay enhancement, sharing that players now have the freedom to sprint, slide, dive, and even roll in any direction they choose.

After that, Stephanie explains that while it’s great for players to have the freedom to go anywhere they want, they should also consider linking particular actions together using the Omnimovement feature to design their own unique moves.

Here’s the full video:

Later on, Matt Ronson, Treyarch’s associate director of design, elucidated Black Ops 6’s Omnimovement system for us, bringing valuable insight into this intriguing aspect. He started by sharing the background and creation process behind the feature, followed by demonstrating its applications in gameplay.

For cinematic actions shots, players will greatly enjoy using Omnimovement. This feature allows them to produce such scenes on their own. They can charge forward for intense action sequences, squeeze through windows for entry, and even shoot enemies while falling – all resulting in an exhilarating experience that resembles the thrill of action movies within your gameplay.

During Corner Slicing, you’ll notice the player maneuvering around corners or doorways, and their perspective and weapon adjust accordingly based on the speed and angle of approach.

Omnimovement ‘Cannot Be Turned Off’

As an avid fan, I was eagerly anticipating Ronson’s response to the question buzzing in the Black Ops 6 community: is there a toggle for Omnimovement? Sadly, the answer is not what we hoped for. Omnimovement is a fundamental game mechanic and cannot be disabled. However, you can turn on or off the ‘Intelligent Movement’ feature if you prefer.

As a gamer, I’d describe Intelligent Movement like this: This set of player options in Black Ops 6 is all about streamlining my gameplay experience. It’s not just auto-sprint or auto-mantle; it’s specifically tailored to work seamlessly with the game’s Omnimovement system. In simpler terms, it automatically optimizes my movements, allowing me to focus more on strategy and less on pressing buttons.

The upcoming changes for Black Ops 6 are certain to generate enthusiasm. Players will have the chance to form their own views when the Open Beta begins in September. Additionally, Call of Duty veteran Matthew ‘FormaL’ Piper has hinted at his comeback to the game with Black Ops 6.
