Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has hit the ground running, with its debut season of content already captivating players. Just weeks after the official launch, Season 1 rolled out fresh multiplayer maps, exciting new game modes, and updates for Call of Duty: Warzone. Unlike last year’s Modern Warfare 3, Black Ops 6 doesn’t leave its Zombies mode behind.
In this new season, Zombies enthusiasts are finally getting the Directed Mode they’ve been eagerly awaiting. This mode is perfect for those new to Zombies, offering a guided experience as players discover the main Easter eggs in Terminus and Liberty Falls. And don’t think that’s the end of the new additions. An upcoming mid-season update promises to inject even more excitement into Zombies. Players can look forward to exploring the new Citadelle des Morts map, showcasing an innovative Wonder Weapon and a novel enemy type. On top of that, the official Season 1 roadmap hints at an “additional Perk-a-Cola” for Zombies. This could mean the comeback of a beloved classic Perk, rather than the introduction of something entirely new—triggering plenty of speculation among fans.
In recent weeks, some leaks have surfaced about potential new Perks coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies. However, while these leaked tidbits are intriguing, players should approach them cautiously, as they might just be remnants of content cut from the game’s launch. Nevertheless, five Perks have made their way into the rumor mill:
– Vulture Aid
– Double Tap
– Mule Kick
– Death Perception
– Tombstone
Vulture Aid first appeared in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, yet surprisingly, it only featured on a single Zombies map. This Perk allowed players to spot wall weapons, the Pack-a-Punch machine, and the Mystery Box through walls. It also provided small ammo drops, bonus points, and a green gas cloud that gave temporary respite from zombie attacks.
Double Tap was once a Zombies staple but hasn’t been seen since Black Ops 3. Initially boosting the player’s rate of fire, its upgraded 2.0 version doubled weapon damage by firing two rounds for the price of one. Similarly, Mule Kick remains a fan favorite, enabling players to carry a third weapon into battle.
A relatively recent addition, Death Perception, lets players see zombies through walls but is often criticized for being one of the less impactful Perks. Conversely, Tombstone offers more utility, allowing players to reclaim their Perks and weapons after death.
These Perks are also set to be available in Liberty Falls and Terminus through the Wunderfizz machine. Of course, only one mystery Perk will be dropped into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 1. While many would love to see Vulture Aid return, the utility of Double Tap or Mule Kick might make them better contenders for this season’s choice.
Transitioning to the broader game experience, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, designed by Treyarch and Raven, propels players into a gripping 90s-era spy thriller. As the political landscape shifts with the end of the Cold War, the game delivers on a high-stakes narrative that Black Ops fans crave.
The thrilling campaign offers dynamic gameplay, with cinematic set pieces, daring heists, and stealthy spy missions. In multiplayer, players can dive into 16 brand new maps, boasting 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 smaller-scale Strike maps for 2v2 or 6v6 action. Zombies enthusiasts can celebrate too, as Black Ops 6 once again brings its signature round-based battles against the undead, offering two new maps upon release and hinting at more ongoing post-launch content.
Whether you’re a Zombies veteran or new to the chaos, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has something thrilling to offer. With cross-platform play, a gripping campaign, and heaps of multiplayer action, it continues to define the genre. As the game evolves with ongoing updates, players can expect plenty more surprises in the months to come.
