Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Reveals New Zombies Features Coming in Season 2

Summary

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 introduces a co-op pause feature for Zombies mode.
• AFK Kick Loadout Recovery lets players rejoin with their original loadout after an AFK kick.
• Separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies offer enhanced customization.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's upcoming Season 2 update brings exciting news for Zombies fans, revealed in a recent Season 2 teaser. Over a decade after its debut in World at War, Zombies remains a cornerstone of Call of Duty, and Black Ops 6 is no exception. Treyarch continues to expand upon the round-based Zombies experience, developing immersive new locations and implementing player-requested improvements.

While Season 2 delivers substantial multiplayer updates, Zombies receives significant attention as well. Beyond the new Tomb map, players will enjoy a range of features enhancing gameplay. A highly requested co-op pause option allows players in the same party to pause the game collaboratively, a welcome addition since pausing and saving were introduced in Black Ops 6.

Call of Duty Reveals Black Ops 6 Zombies Changes for Season 2

• Challenge Tracking & Near Completion (Zombies and Multiplayer): Manually track up to 10 Calling Card and 10 Camo Challenges per mode. If fewer than 10 are tracked, the closest-to-completion challenges will automatically display. Top tracked or near-completion challenges appear in the lobby and in-game options menu.
• Co-op Pause: The party leader can pause the game for all party members.
• AFK Kick Loadout Recovery: Players kicked for inactivity can rejoin with their original loadout.
• Separate HUD Presets for Zombies and Multiplayer: Customize HUD settings independently for each mode.

Alongside the co-op pause, AFK Kick Loadout Recovery prevents the loss of progress for players unexpectedly removed from matches. Losing weapons, perks, and points can significantly hinder a Zombies run; this feature mitigates that frustration.

The ability to create separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies eliminates the need to constantly adjust settings between modes. Finally, the improved challenge tracking system simplifies progress through the extensive Calling Card and Camo collections. Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches January 28, 2025.
