Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Update Reverses Controversial Zombies Change
Treyarch has addressed player concerns regarding recent changes to Black Ops 6's Zombies mode, specifically the Directed Mode in the Citadelle des Morts map. A January 3rd update introduced alterations to zombie spawn delays, negatively impacting kill farming and camo challenges. Following significant player feedback, Treyarch has reversed this change in the January 9th update.
The latest patch restores the zombie spawn delay to approximately 20 seconds after five looped rounds, addressing community frustration. Additional fixes target bugs and glitches within Citadelle des Morts' Directed Mode, ensuring smoother quest progression.
