The recent update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, released on November 4, brings significant changes aimed at enhancing the multiplayer experience. This patch addresses common gameplay frustrations, including adjustments to the infamous flashbang effect, reducing its duration by 20%. The spawn system has also been fine-tuned to ensure safer and more logical placements across multiple maps. Additionally, the duration of the Recon Combat Specialty's wallhack ability has been decreased from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds, with further reductions planned ahead of Season 1. The developers are actively listening to player feedback while implementing weapon balance changes, nerfing long-range damage for Assault Rifles and boosting SMGs to create a more competitive environment.
