Summary
- Warhead map in Black Ops 6 has a hidden Easter egg that can explode and end the match.
- The Easter egg requires almost 45 seconds of constant bullet fire to trigger.
- This feature is only available in Black Ops 6's private matches, not in public ones.
Two gamers have discovered a surprising Easter egg on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 map, Warhead. This new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 find is an explosive surprise, although it seems impossible to trigger it in a public match.
Warhead has been a controversial map since the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. It's a unique spin on the Nuketown map, imagining what it could look like after a nuclear blast. Warhead's tiny size means it's primarily designed to be played in 2v2 Face Off playlists, making 6v6 matches on it absolute chaos. Players' opinions on this Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 map usually come down to how they feel about the size. Some adore the chaos, while others end up frustrated by the constant deaths and frequent spawn traps that happen. It's a curious case of a map, that's for sure.
A Reddit thread started by user Kechioma showed footage of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Easter egg which was found on the map Warhead. On the map, there is a nuke embedded in the sand, which they then decide to shoot. This results in the nuke blowing up, ending the match as if a Tactical Nuke killstreak had been used. Having never seen it before, many of the comments in the thread were skeptical about the legitimacy of this Easter egg.
The Nuke on Black Ops 6's Warhead Can Actually Blow Up
Another thread by user DarkIegend16 cleared things up, showing the entire progress of firing at the nuke before its explosion. Slowly, the nuke begins to smoke before eventually catching on fire as the bullets hit it. It isn't easy, taking almost 45 seconds of constant bullet fire before finally exploding, but it's definitely real. However, gamers wanting to end their online matches early on Warhead won't find any success. This Easter egg seems to only work in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 private matches, so doing this in a public match is off the table.
Since launch, Treyarch has worked tirelessly to bring plenty of new content to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The recent release of Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded saw the release of a brand-new Zombies map, as well as several new game modes for multiplayer. This plethora of content should keep players occupied throughout the holiday season, and there's sure to be plenty more to come through the new year and beyond.

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.
