Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Update Reverses Controversial Zombies Change

Treyarch has addressed player concerns regarding recent changes to Black Ops 6's Zombies mode, specifically the Directed Mode spawn delay. Following community feedback, the January 9th update reverted the controversial alteration that extended the time between rounds and zombie spawns after five looped rounds in Directed Mode on the Citadelle des Morts map. This change, which negatively impacted kill farming and camo challenge completion, has been reversed, restoring the spawn delay to approximately 20 seconds.

The update also includes:

• Citadelle des Morts Fixes: Numerous bug fixes for Citadelle des Morts, resolving issues with quest progression, visual effects, and crashes related to the Void Sheath Augment for Aether Shroud.
• Shadow Rift Buffs: Significant buffs to the Shadow Rift Ammo Mod, increasing activation rates for normal, special, and elite enemies (with Big Game Augment) and reducing its cooldown timer by 25%.
• Global Improvements: Fixes for visual issues in the Events tab, audio problems with event milestone banners, and the invisibility of Maya's "Joyride" Operator Skin beyond 70 meters.
• Multiplayer Enhancements: Increased XP rewards from match bonuses in Red Light, Green Light mode and various stability improvements.
• Dead Light, Green Light LTM Adjustments: The Limited Time Mode (LTM) now includes Liberty Falls as a playable map and increases the round cap to 20 before Exfil.

Treyarch acknowledges that not all fixes can be implemented immediately, citing prioritization of critical issues and the need for further testing on some fixes (such as the Terminus speedrun fix and the Vermin double-attack bug). These remaining fixes are slated for the Season 2 update on January 28th, along with additional bug fixes and changes. Players can still earn rewards by completing the Citadelle des Morts main quest before Season 1 Reloaded concludes.
