Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 hit the ground running with new content dropping swiftly after its launch. Just weeks into its debut, the game’s first season has already rolled out fresh multiplayer maps, engaging game modes, and exciting Warzone updates. Unlike its predecessor, Modern Warfare 3, this time around, Black Ops 6 hasn’t neglected its popular Zombies mode.
Season 1 has welcomed players to a highly-anticipated Directed Mode in Zombies, guiding newcomers through the intricacies of key Easter eggs in Terminus and Liberty Falls. Mid-season updates promise even more, with the introduction of the Citadelle des Morts map, complete with a brand-new Wonder Weapon and formidable enemy type. That’s not all – developers revealed in the official roadmap that Zombies will gain an "additional Perk-a-Cola," teasing fans with the prospect of a beloved classic returning rather than introducing a new perk. Any seasoned player could easily make a bet on which perks those might be.
In recent weeks, leaks have trickled out, hinting at which new perks might grace Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies soon. However, with such rumors, it’s wise to remain skeptical, as these could simply be remnants of content left unused from the launch. But let’s take a look at the likely candidates whispered in gaming circles:
- Vulture Aid
- Double Tap
- Mule Kick
- Death Perception
- Tombstone
Vulture Aid, a fan-favorite since its debut in Black Ops 2, offers players the unique ability to reveal wall weapons, the Pack-a-Punch machine, and Mystery Boxes through walls. Occasionally, players could gather extra ammo, bonus points, and gas clouds to mask themselves temporarily from zombie attacks.
Double Tap, once a Zombies staple, vanished after Black Ops 3. Its first iteration ramped up the rate-of-fire, while the 2.0 version doubled a weapon’s firepower, making it a powerful ally. Mule Kick, another cherished perk, allows players to carry a third weapon.
More recent in origin, Death Perception is less celebrated, simply enabling vision through walls. Tombstone, loved and loathed in equal measure, allows players to retrieve their perks and weapons post-revival.
These perks will also be introduced to Liberty Falls and Terminus via the Wunderfizz machine, yet only one will make it into Season 1. Though seeing Vulture Aid make a return would be thrilling, practical players might root for the utility of Double Tap or Mule Kick.
Now, let’s delve into what makes Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 a standout. Developed by Treyarch and Raven, this installment throws players into high-octane spy action set in the tumultuous 1990s, a time marked by the Cold War’s end and rapid geopolitical shifts. With a narrative that defies conventions, it offers dynamic gameplay across 16 new maps—12 core 6v6 and 4 adaptable Strike maps.
For Zombies enthusiasts, Black Ops 6 heralds the return of the iconic Round-Based mode, delivering intense battles against the undead on two new maps at launch. Fans can anticipate more content and groundbreaking experiences in both Multiplayer and Zombies post-launch. Released on October 25, 2024, and packed with online multiplayer, cross-platform play, stunning graphics with the IW 9.0 engine, and a mature ESRB rating, Black Ops 6 is all set to captivate gamers worldwide.
