Call of Duty Releases New Update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone

Key Takeaways

  • The November 15 update increases custom loadout slots to 12 on all platforms.
  • The PS5 Pro upgrade adds 120 FPS support with Spectral Super Resolution.
  • Nuketown 24/7 has been added, and XP tokens from Modern Warfare 3 are no longer usable.

As a seasoned gamer who has battled through countless virtual worlds and survived countless game updates, I can confidently say that this latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is nothing short of a revelation!

A fresh update has been rolled out for both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone, coming hot on the heels of Season 1’s launch. The new update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone brings about significant alterations, inserts Nuketown 24/7 into the multiplayer roster, and introduces features compatible with the newly-released PlayStation 5 Pro.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t contain my excitement! The thrilling journey with Black Ops 6 and Warzone began on November 14 with Season 1, bringing an array of fresh content across multiplayer, Zombies, and the integrated Warzone experience. Highlights include new maps, weapons, and gear – just to mention a few. The Area 99 Resurgence map in Warzone is a standout addition! Throughout this season, we can look forward to various updates, including a significant mid-season update with more maps, weapons, and additional content. To top it off, Activision, Treyarch, and Raven Software have rolled out another update for both Call of Duty titles, addressing the release of the PS5 Pro and resolving some unexpected bugs.

Starting November 15, the update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1 expands the number of custom loadout slots from 10 to 12, providing equal access for all players across platforms. Previously, Xbox and PC users had only 10 slots compared to the 12 still available on PlayStation. Additionally, this update brings a PS5 Pro Enhanced upgrade to both games. This means PS5 Pro users now have access to features like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and native 120Hz support. With PSSR enabled, players can experience the games at up to 120 FPS while preserving image quality similar to the base PS5’s 60 FPS mode. Later in the season, a new variable refresh rate mode will be introduced to ensure consistent image quality on compatible 120Hz displays.

In the latest update of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, arriving November 15th, a fresh feature called Nuketown 24/7 has been introduced. This popular 6v6 mode replaces Radioactive 24/7 in the Featured, Quickplay, and Hardcore Quickplay playlists. On a related note, it’s worth mentioning that legacy XP tokens are no longer valid within Black Ops 6. Consequently, players won’t be able to earn extra experience points from tokens accumulated in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This decision has sparked some debate on social media, as many players believed their XP tokens would transfer over to Black Ops 6.

In addition to Black Ops 6 and Warzone, several enhancements for stability and bug resolutions were made. Black Ops 6 received the most fixes as detailed in the update notes. Earlier, a glitch prevented players from equipping the Ghost Perk once they had unlocked it. This issue has been rectified, allowing gamers to use the Ghost Perk and support their teams more effectively. The Ghost Perk is particularly beneficial for destroying UAVs and catching opponents off guard in Black Ops 6’s multiplayer modes.
