Summary

  • Chopper Gunner glitch in Black Ops 6 switches players back to their character during takedowns.
  • The glitch disrupts precious seconds of using the difficult-to-earn Chopper Gunner scorestreak.
  • Treyarch has been receptive to feedback and continues to release patches fixing issues like these.

A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player online has discovered that the Chopper Gunner scorestreak has a big issue that only appears in very specific circumstances. The Chopper Gunner is one of the most popular scorestreaks in Black Ops 6, but having this bug occur would be incredibly frustrating.

For the most part, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released to a positive reception. However, as players have had more time with the game, more issues have been uncovered, and fans have not been shy about sharing these problems with Treyarch. For example, at the start of the year, Black Ops 6 players noticed that one Weapon Blueprint had major visibility problems, pointing out the issue to the developer. The good news is that since launch, Treyarch has been really receptive to this type of feedback, releasing frequent patches with tons of small fixes for issues like this.

Redditor jespertherapper shared a strange video after using Black Ops 6's Chopper Gunner. While using the scorestreak, they were the victim of a takedown from another player. However, this doesn't happen off-screen. Instead, they're cut away from the Chopper Gunner for a moment and are forced to watch the takedown happen. This wastes precious seconds of the difficult-to-earn scorestreak, where they're completely unable to see their enemies. Interestingly, the UI for the Chopper Gunner remains the entire time, and they can still be heard firing the weapon.

Black Ops 6's Chopper Gunner Has Big Glitch When Getting Taken Down

While it might seem like a minor issue, it would definitely be very annoying to have this happen mid-Chopper Gunner. At the moment, the Chopper Gunner is one of the best Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 scorestreaks, and requires a score of 1600 without dying to use in a match. While many players have it equipped, it's very rare to actually see it come into play due to the difficulty of earning it. That's why when it's active, players want to make every second count, as they may not get another for a while. Hopefully, Treyarch can resolve this issue and make sure takedowns don't affect the Chopper Gunner going forward.

2025 should be an exciting year for Black Ops 6 fans, filled with tons of new content to enjoy until the inevitable release of Call of Duty 2025. Season 1 Reloaded is currently ongoing, and it has already been confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 will release on January 28. Details on what Season 2 will actually bring remain to be seen. It's likely that Treyarch will provide these details in a blog post closer to the release date, as it has done with previous Seasons.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
