Summary

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players call out Treyarch for the game's wildly inconsistent time to kill and hit registration.
  • Many users are reporting that they are emptying almost a full magazine into opponents without getting the kill, but then eliminating multiple enemies at once with just a few bullets.
  • Treyarch says Black Ops 6 has a faster time to kill than its predecessor, but the inconsistency is ruining multiplayer matches for users.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are calling out the game's inconsistent time to kill (often abbreviated to TTK) and hit registration, blasting the game's multiplayer matches as frustrating due to what many believe is a game-breaking bug. Developer Treyarch Studios has yet to address the potential issue, but with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 being less than a week old, there's still plenty of time for new patch updates to be deployed.

While some fans believe there's a serious issue with the game's TTK and hit registration, others are simply frustrated by the lackluster lineup of maps available in Black Ops 6. After back-to-back years of new entries in the Modern Warfare series, the Call of Duty community has been eagerly awaiting the return of Treyarch's smash-hit Black Ops series. Although Black Ops 6 is receiving rave reviews from critics, there's no denying that the shooter's multiplayer still needs some bugs ironed out, with the inconsistent TTK being one of fans' biggest complaints.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Might Have a TTK Issue

Over on Reddit, the Call of Duty community is discussing Black Ops 6's wildly inconsistent TTK, with many users agreeing that the issue needs to be addressed by Treyarch Studios. In a new post from Handerson15, which has clearly resonated with the community, garnering over 1,500 upvotes at the time of writing, the user says they "refuse to believe" that there isn't some sort of bug with the game's TTK and hit registration. They explain that when they engage in some gun fights, they're wiping out the enemy instantaneously, while in other instances appear to take half a magazine without even getting the kill.

Other users, such as I_TRS_Gear_I, say they've had this experience with every new Call of Duty game for the past three years. "One match it’s like you have the most deadly weapon known to man, the next, using the same exact gun you can’t even kill players that you're flanking because they feel the tickle, turn around, and dust you," the user said. While Reddit user ImTooOldForSchool said, "half the time my gun is a peashooter but I get domed and buried with a single shot."

It is worth noting that Black Ops 6's time to kill is supposed to be much faster than its predecessor , Black Ops Cold War, according to Treyarch Studios. This means players should find the new shooter to be much more fast-paced, and while the new omnidirectional movement is keeping the gameplay feeling quick and fluid, the inconsistency in TTK is undeniable.

Unfortunately, Black Ops 6's massively inconsistent TTK is just one of the game's major issues being critiqued by players right now. While fans are loving the fast-paced chaos that Treyarch's latest shooter offers, the map variety and overall designs are leading to a lot of frustration in the community. Smaller multiplayer maps, such as Stakeout, are proving to be a nightmare as players are blasting Black Ops 6's outrageous spawn points. Thankfully, Season 1 is set to arrive on November 14, and Treyarch has already promised to be bringing back some fan-favorite maps from previous years.

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.
