Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 December 10 Update Patch Notes
GLOBAL
Treyarch and Raven Software’s December 10 update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone introduces significant changes, particularly to weapon play. The core focus revolves around improving weapon stability and headshot effectiveness in Multiplayer. The patch also contains adjustments to aiming mechanics, maps, and modes within both titles, and some targeted Zombies fixes.
MULTIPLAYER
- Weapon Motion: Significant reductions (30-75%) in visual recoil, turn sway, and gun kick are implemented across all weapons, particularly impactful on full-auto weapons and higher magnification optics. These changes aim to enhance player stability and control while aiming down sights (ADS).
- Aiming Idle Sway Delay: The patch refines the aiming idle sway delay for all weapons, improving consistency. Sniper rifles now see a complete removal of initial idle sway, addressing past issues of reduced sway reduction.
- Maps & Modes: Hacienda map spawn points are adjusted. Face-off and 10v10 Moshpit modes see increased score limits for more engaging gameplay. Prop Hunt mode now has faster prop speeds, a shorter round time, and has been enabled in Private Match.
- Headshot Damage: Headshot damage is adjusted to increase the effectiveness of headshots on full-auto primary weapons. This change is not uniformly applied; SMGs will experience increased range instead of time-to-kill adjustments to retain a balanced feel in close-quarters combat.
- Melee: Melee weapons have improved attack speeds, particularly those designed for two-hit kills, to enhance the satisfaction and feeling of unique combat encounters.
- Equipment & UI: Frag grenade inner radius damage is reduced to allow for more survival with Flak Jacket, and UI issues related to minimap display and Finishing Move previews are resolved.
- Graphics & Stability: Various graphical and stability issues have been addressed.
ZOMBIES
- Maps: Citadelle des Morts map fixes include addressing issues with AFK warnings and loading after obtaining specific objects. Issues involving disconnections and squad re-joining are also addressed.
- Weapons: Blueprint weapon attachment changes have been implemented.
- Stability: Various stability improvements have been integrated.
