The fan favorite Zombies Mode has always been a staple for Treyarch-led Call of Duty games, and Black Ops 6 has been no exception. Earlier in the week, Treyarch teased a big 115 Day announcement, which likely caught the attention of longtime Zombies fans. For those who don't know, the number "115" is commonly found throughout Call of Duty: Zombies franchise, including the name of Element-115 which started the outbreak, to various other Easter eggs. In celebration, Treyarch had no shortage of announcements to share with the community.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Reveals New Zombies Features Coming in Season 2
In its latest update, Treyarch reveals more information about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Season 2, including new Zombies features.
Before getting to the Zombie specific news, Treyarch's blog post gave all players a bit of good news. Starting on January 15, all Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players can take part in a special Quad Feed Double XP event until January 21 at 10am PT. This means double experience earned for player account progression, all weapons, Battle Pass, and GobbleGum earn rate. The XP boost should come in handy for players to wrap things up before Black Ops 6 releases season 2 later this month.
What is Quad Feed Double XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6?
- 2X GobbleGum earn rate
- 2X Player XP
- 2X Weapon XP
- 2X Battle Pass XP
Alongside the XP Boost announcement, Treyarch also took the opportunity to showcase and celebrate the Zombies community through art, cosplay, and more. The blog also teased out some upcoming Quality of Life changes happening when Season 2 launches, stats for Zombies Directed Mode, as well as giving fans a look at a brand new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies map called The Tomb.
While there has been plenty of bright spots, Black Ops 6 has also seen its fair share of challenging moments as well. While hacking and cheating continues to be a problem for online matches, Black Ops 6 has seen its fair share of bugs, controversies, disappointing limited time events, and other features that have largely frustrated fans. In fact, the issues have gotten so bad that Black Ops 6 has lost a good chunk of its player base, with some platforms like Steam losing nearly half since the game's launch in October 2024. With Season 2 on the horizon, players are hoping things can be turned around.

WHERE TO PLAY
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.
