A perceptive Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player online has noticed an interesting glitch that allows players to see through the effect of a flashbang. This Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 trick is totally overpowered, and could be the difference between life and death in some situations.
It's interesting to see all the small tricks players find in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Some, like this, are discovered as a way to gain a competitive edge over opponents, while others are just for fun. It was even noticed that one Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer map has a functional diving board which, while not exactly helpful, is funny to see. It's worth remembering that it's very early days in the game's lifespan, and no doubt over the coming weeks and months, plenty more small details will be found in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Black Ops 6 Free for All Has One Big Oversight
A gamer online notices an oversight in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Free for All game mode, after winning a match in a unique way.
Redditor FizzyLamanade has pointed out that opening the scoreboard before a flashbang pops in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 allows players to actually see through the effect. It appears that the scoreboard itself has an invisible border around it that overrides the flashbang's effect, giving players a small window view to look through. Given Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's generally fast time to kill, this could be all some players need to win a gunfight over their opponent. It can be hard to think fast and know in the heat of the moment to open the scoreboard, but it's still worth keeping in mind.
Opening the Scoreboard in Black Ops 6 Lets Players See Through Flashbangs
Some in the thread by FizzyLamanade pointed out that this bug didn't seem to be present in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta, indicating it could be a new issue with the game. Others were pretty conscious of the fact that Treyarch will likely patch this bug out as soon as possible, now that it has been discovered. It's a pretty huge competitive advantage against opponents that use flashbangs, so it's difficult to imagine the studio ignoring it for the time being. There have already been a couple of small Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 updates, and this will likely be solved soon enough.
Flashbang bug aside, there's plenty for fans to look forward to in Treyarch's latest Call of Duty game. On November 1, Nuketown will be released for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, promising to be a remaster of the 2010 original rather than a new interpretation. It'll be music to the ears of anyone who loved the iteration of Nuketown that first appeared back in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Then, Season 1 is set to begin, with a rumored release period of mid-November, although Treyarch has yet to confirm the details of this.

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.
