Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 includes a dance emote that replicates RayGun’s viral breaking routine from the 2024 Paris Olympics. Black Ops 6 players often use emotes to express that they are having fun in a match, or to diss their opponents.
The 2024 Paris Olympics marked the debut of breaking as an Olympic sport. During the contest, 37-year-old Rachael Louis Gunn, known competitively as “RayGun,” represented Australia with a now infamous performance. RayGun’s awkward dance scored zero points and went viral, prompting users to mock and criticize her online for weeks. Now, RayGun’s dance has been immortalized in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Season 1.
Why Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Can't Miss Its Upcoming Hit List Event
Season one of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 still has a lot of content to give, and the upcoming Hit List event seems like an unmissable part of this.
As spotted by DETONATED on Twitter, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s first season has added RayGun’s infamous breaking routine as an emote. Titled “Move Set,” the emote can be unlocked by completing Page 14 of the Battle Pass. On social media, players have already started comparing both dances frame by frame. The emote is almost identical to RayGun’s choreography, except the Black Ops 6 version omits the headspin. Emotes and sprays in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are a big part of the fun in the FPS, as fans enjoy taunting other players with emotes like “You’re Going Down” or "Shush." Other emotes serve the sole purpose of making players laugh, which seems to be the goal of RayGun’s emote.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Adds RayGun's Breaking Routine Emote
The Black Ops 6 base game launched with a few default emotes, including one called "B-Boy," which already referenced breaking culture. Aside from RayGun's dance, Black Ops 6's Season 1 Battle Pass also offers players new weapons, operator skins, COD Points, and more. This season's Battle Pass is more flexible, allowing players to choose whether to obtain rewards in a traditional linear way or their own preferred order with Battle Tokens. Players who wish to focus on getting the Move Set emote on Page 14 can also purchase the BlackCell premium Battle Pass, which allows them to skip 20 tiers instantly.
While emotes and sprays are often used in good faith during multiplayer matches, Black Ops 6 fans discovered a problematic use of emotes that gave players an unfair advantage by enabling a third-person view. Regardless, many Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 fans are excited about the return of emotes after the feature was missing in recent franchise entries. Whether RayGun's dance will be among the game's most popular emotes remains to be seen.

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.
