Want to know what’s new and what’s fixed in the new Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone update? The patch went live on April 11, 2025, as Treyarch Studios and Raven Software improved their respective titles. Changes include bug fixes, weapon nerfs and buffs, and several playlist additions. Let’s have a breakdown of what this update brings and what it means for players.
New Playlist Features in Black Ops 6
Starting with Black Ops 6, players can now enjoy something new in the Featured Playlists section. The April 11 update added 5 brand-new playlists, offering different multiplayer experiences.
Players are already hyped up for the 24/7 playlists for Firing Range, Stakeout, and Nuketown. Additionally, the update adds two new Moshpit playlists, each with a different challenge:
- 3rd-Person Moshpit – Players get to experience Season 3 contents and a selection of maps from a third-person view.
- Small Map Moshpit – Players have to move around and fight in 6v6 battles on CoD’s smallest maps.
For fans of party games, Sharpshooter has been moved to the dedicated Party Games section, making it easier to find and access this popular mode.
Alongside these exciting additions, the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone update also paid attention to some visual bugs. First was Black Ops 6 sniper rifles missing heavy tracers when fired. Additionally, the controversial T-800 Terminator Operator Skin received visual nerfs due to severe visibility issues.
Zombies Improvements
Black Ops 6’s Zombies also received some improvements brought by the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone update. In particular, Treyarch Studios made improvements in the Shattered Veil map.
They fixed a bug that’s especially frustrating for those who were completing the Wonder Weapon Quest. The Lab Technician previously could transform into a Parasite, and would not drop the Floppy Disk players need to obtain for the quest.
For boss fights, Treyarch addressed the issue regarding the Void Sheath Augment for Aether Shroud. Void Sheath didn’t count toward the maximum melee swipes while mounted on the boss, allowing players to deal more melee damage than intended.
The studio mentioned that they do appreciate creative strategies for boss fights, some exploits like this could diminish the experience. Treyarch explained that they resolved this issue and additionally increased the maximum number of melee swipes players can perform while mounted for balance.
There’s also a weapon buff that came with the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone update. The Ray Gun Mark II-R seemed to underperform compared to other variants in boss fights. To fix this, Treyarch boosted its non-critical damage against bosses by 3.5x.
Warzone Changes and Bug Fixes
Warzone players should note that Raven Software has disabled the 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath Ammunition for the MX Guardian Shotgun. According to the developers, this ammo type was only meant to be available on specific trigger types for this shotgun, and they’re addressing the issue before re-enabling the attachment.
The Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Warzone update also fixes several frustrating bugs:
- Players getting stuck when attempting to loot a Loadout Crate
- Custom Loadouts resetting after matches
- Players losing functionality after receiving their loadout
- Calling Card Challenges not completing properly in Battle Royale Casual mode
Earlier in the week, Raven Software also adjusted the ground loot by removing the DM-10 Marksman Rifle, Tsarkov Marksman Rifle, and SVD Sniper Rifle from ground loot and supply boxes after player feedback indicated these weapons were appearing too frequently.
Conclusion
Treyarch Studios and Raven Software both seem to have effectively addressed most issues plaguing players of their respective titles. With the new Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Warzone update, they not only have been finally relieved from multiple frustrating bugs. Black Ops 6 players can also enjoy new playlists to try out for fun and challenging experiences.
As both studios continue to monitor player feedback, we can expect more updates in the coming weeks to address emerging issues and fine-tune the gameplay experience for both Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
