CoD Black Ops 6: 10 Best Weapons, Ranked
There is a wide variety of different weapons in Black Ops 6, from Submachine Guns to Sniper Rifles. Here are the best weapons in Black Ops 6, ranked!
What To Expect For The Haunting Season 6 For Modern Warfare 3 & Warzone?
Kicking off the long line of content for Season 6 is the arrival of the Drive Thru 6v6 map for Core Multiplayer, along with a map variant for Meat and an impressive five variants for Shipment. Continuing the trend of Multiplayer updates, returning playlists like Arcade will make their debut, featuring modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint, all while granting players access to abilities like increased jump height and a ground slam attack. Players will also be able to use super-buffed weapons in Arcade, such as the explosive MORS Sniper Rifle, ranking up the tension even further. On the topic of game modes, Mutation returns, along with a twisted version of Infected, and Hordepoint debuts, forcing players to defend against waves of the undead in a Hardpoint-inspired game mode.
Moving on to Warzone, players can expect two additional map variants of Rebirth Island and Vondel, each receiving a horrifying makeover. The first variant is Hellspawn, which transforms Rebirth Island into a tentacle-infested hellscape. The second is Vondel Night, plunging players into the nearly pitch-black streets of Vondel. Along with these eerie maps come two additional game modes: Purgatory and Zombie Royale.
Purgatory is an original mode for Warzone, set on the Hellspawn map, where players use their Custom Loadouts to fight enemies, complete objectives, and respawn after elimination. Zombie Royale remains largely similar to its previous version in Warzone 2.0, but this time it’s featured in both Vondel Night and Hellspawn. In Zombie Royale, standard Battle Royale rules apply but eliminated players return as zombies, battling survivors or looting syringes to reclaim their place among the living. If a player is eliminated as a zombie, they must spectate their teammates or return to the lobby in solo playlists.
On the Warzone Mobile side, players can also dive into Zombie Royale, along with the Hardhat 6v6 map, and earn brand-new event rewards by gaining event points in selected playlists. Wrapping up the content for both Multiplayer and Warzone is the arrival of a brand-new Battle Pass, featuring two new weapons: the DTIR 30-06 and the Kastov LSW, along with new Halloween-themed cosmetics like the Michael Myers Operator and more. Additionally, new Aftermarket Parts will be introduced each week, providing players with extra weapon updates to look forward to.
For Modern Warfare Zombies, the only updates coming in Season 6 include halved cooldown timers for all Schematics and the ability to enter Dark Aether Rifts without a Sigil. Though this may be disappointing for Zombies fans, there is plenty of additional zombie content in Warzone and Multiplayer, and Black Ops 6 Zombies is on the horizon with the game launching on October 25.
