The Liberty Falls map in Black Ops 6's Zombies mode features a cool secret if you manage to collect all of the statues of the purple spandex-suited Aetherella. Upon finding all of 'em, you'll morph into the super heroine herself, blast lasers from your eyes, and have invincibility for a limited time.

]]>Want to complete the Terminus easter egg in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies? Black Ops 6 features a wide array of secrets on both of its Zombies maps, and the sheer size and scale of Terminus means you've got quite a bit to do if you want to complete the main easter egg. Aside from building the Beamsmasher Wonder Weapon, you'll need to boat around the map to find nodes, hack satellites, and face some truly horrific undead abominations, including Patient 13 - a real pain of a final boss.

]]>Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been out for a little while already, what with me giving its multiplayer largely a thumbs up. Still, it's an ever-evolving thing and Activision have announced the game's first seasonal drop. It's a hefty one with a lot of additions, so I'll try my best to break down the good stuff. TLDR: there's some new maps for multiplayer and zombies, new modes, and a few extra bits. I'm mildly excited for more. More in this case is good.
]]>Want to craft the Beamsmasher in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies? Black Ops 6's Zombies mode is all about blowing apart hordes of the undead, and one of the best weapons for doing this is the DRI-11 Beamsmasher. This Wonder Weapon fires a constant beam that will rip apart all enemies in your path, and when upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch, the damage is truly catastrophic. Only available on Black Ops 6's Terminus map, the Beamsmasher's power comes with a price - it takes a while to craft and requires jumping through a few hoops, including an unexpected mathematical equation!
We've got you covered, thankfully. In this guide we'll break down exactly what you need to do to craft the Beamsmasher in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies.
]]>Want to craft the Jet Gun in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies? Black Ops 6's Zombies mode contains some bonkers Wonder Weapons, and one of these is the Thrustodyne M23, more commonly known as the Jet Gun. Originally introduced way back in 2012's Black Ops 2, the Jet Gun is a force to be reckoned with that sucks zombies towards it and grinds them to a pulp. Available on Black Ops 6's Liberty Falls map, the Jet Gun will take some effort to craft and require you to first nab three special parts.
You're in the right place if you want to know how to make the Thrustodyne M23 yours. In this guide we'll tell you exactly what you need to do to craft the Jet Gun in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies.
]]>Want to open the vault in the Liberty Falls map in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies? The Liberty Falls map in Black Ops 6's Zombies mode has a good array of loot inside, but in order to crack it open, you'll first need to find three codes hidden in different locations across the map. Get ready to do some jogging back and forth in order to find the entire six-digit combination, which is randomised in every match.
Due to the randomisation, we can't tell you the exact combination, but we certainly can outline all of the areas you need to visit to find the pieces of the code. Read on, for in this guide we'll tell you exactly what you need to do to open the Liberty Falls vault in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies.
]]>As a yearly blockbuster, Call of Duty, through sheer expense and effort, would like you to think it is the Die Hard of video games. Or, depending on the setting, the Saving Private Ryan of video games. But it is barely Black Hawk Down. This latest campaign in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 reminds me more of the forgettable Netflix shootfests that thumbnail their way across your TV screen as you try to find some gritty nothing to aid you in zoning out of life. Still, there is an anecdotal contingent of casual sofa sitters for whom Call Of Duty is the game. A balls-to-the-wall shooter to return to every winter and rinse through in a weekend. Ed has already gestured at its multiplayer, announcing: "yup, it's COD", like a deeply tired Captain Birdseye inspecting the day's catch, wondering when his life will change. But never mind that. How does the single player story mode hold up? Some are calling it the best campaign in years. And I guess that's true, in the sense that it is the least worst.
]]>Want to open the safe in the Rook safehouse in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6's campaign? Black Ops 6 offers up one of the stronger Call Of Duty single-player campaigns in recent memory, and there are a number of secrets waiting to be discovered. Chief among these are hidden safes containing a nice $1000, which goes a long way towards upgrading your equipment. Of these safes, the one in the campaign's safehouse, known as the Rook, is by far the hardest to unlock.
If you're struggling to figure out how to get your thousand dollars, we're here to assist. In this guide, we'll reveal the solutions to all of the Rook's safe code puzzles in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6.
]]>Early reactions to Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer range from frothing dislike through omnimovement hype to our own Ed Thorn's dead-eyed appraisal that it's "a good one, I think. Not a bad one. If you like Call Of Duty, you will like this. If you don't like Call Of Duty, you will not like this." I feel like we need to emergency-deploy a supply crate of smelling salts, because the sheer OK-ness of Black Ops 6 appears to have tumbled Ed into a stupor.
Perhaps it would be a different story if he'd encountered some of the spawning issues and glitches people are talking about, with players joining games and materialising right into a hail of fire. The players in question include Black Ops 6's developers, who comically note in the latest Black Ops 6 patch notes that "Yes, we saw ourselves in a Killcam before selecting a Loadout too." The latest patch seeks to address this, naturally. As regards the campaign side of things, it also resets your safehouse currency to 5000, if you've had your single player funds stolen (or multiplied) by technical gremlins.
]]>People have asked me, a Call Of Duty liker, "How's the new COD?" - such is the mass appeal of Call Of Duty that even a lot of my non-industry pals are invested in whether Black Ops 6's shooty really does bang. And every single time my brain clunks into gear and I turn inwards, where I struggle to come up with anything meaningful to say. So much so that a fog develops and out of the fog emerges a figure - it's me. I'm holding an M4A1 with an extended barrel and a vertical foregrip. My brain and body perform a pincer movement of physical response: 1) I shrug 2) I say, "It's like Call Of Duty".
]]>Looking to build the best Tanto .22 loadout in Black Ops 6? The Tanto .22 comes out of the gate fast and heavy in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6, mowing down the opposition with hard-hitting power. With excellent three shot killing potential, the Tanto .22 shines in close and mid-range encounters and can easily go toe-to-toe with an Assault Rifle.
In this guide, we'll break down our preferred Tanto .22 loadout, including the best attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and other equipment needed to make this already stellar SMG the cream of the crop in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's multiplayer.
]]>What's the best Shotgun in Black Ops 6? There are only two Shotguns in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 - the pump action Marine SP and the semi-auto ASG-89 - so you don't have much to choose between if you're a lover of heavy duty weapons that really unleash a kick. Both Shotguns feel very different, however, and while you can certainly level up both if you so desire, only one is going to prove the most effective at delivering the classic Shotgun experience.
In this guide, we've ranked both weapons and explained our reasoning for picking the best Shotgun in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6.
]]>Looking to build the best Marine SP loadout in Black Ops 6? The Marine SP is one of two Shotguns in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6, and it's the more traditional of the two. For everyone out there who loves old school pump action Shotguns that can blow a door open (along with whoever's standing behind it), the Marine SP is your only option, and it's a darn good one.
In this guide, we'll explain our favourite Marine SP loadout, including the best attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and other equipment needed to dominate Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's multiplayer.
]]>Looking to build the best quickscope loadout in Black Ops 6? Quickscoping's a different beast when compared to regular sniping. Instead of setting up shop in a far corner of the map and taking a well-timed shot, you're going to be aiming at close-range, shooting directly after switching to your scope, and hopefully dealing big sniper damage without having to be patient. The rewards are high, but in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 - a game where all Sniper Rifles suffer from nasty vertical recoil and troublesome off-centre aiming - the risk is also considerably high.
That said, one of Black Ops 6's Sniper Rifles fits the criteria for an admirable quickscoping tool. In this guide, we'll explain our preferred quickscope loadout, including the best attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and other equipment needed to rack up killstreaks in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's multiplayer.
]]>Looking to build the best LR 7.62 loadout in Black Ops 6? The LR 7.62 is one of three Sniper Rifles in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6. All of these guns are powerful weapons in the hands of a trained operator, though the LR 7.62 was an early favourite that won lots of praise in Black Ops 6's beta.
In this guide, we'll explain our preferred LR 7.62 loadout, including the best attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and other equipment needed to make the most of this superb bolt-action Sniper Rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer.
]]>What's the best Sniper Rifle in Black Ops 6? Sniper Rifles are always a popular choice for players who enjoy aiming steady from across a map, getting a target in their scope, and popping off for a solid headshot. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 makes sniping fairly tricky, however, with all three Sniper Rifles offering up noticable vertical recoil, lots of flinch, and off-centre aiming, just to throw a wrench in the plans of everyone out there who loves quickscoping.
Despite these hurdles, however, the trinity of Sniper Rifles on display are all powerful damage dealers that are more than capable of toppling an operator on a rival team instantly, as long as you're a practiced shot. Which one takes gold, which takes silver, and which must settle for bronze? Read on, as we've written out a tier list and explained our reasoning in this guide for the best Sniper Rifle in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6.
]]>It’s always nice to say that a big, look-how-much-we-spent-on-pore-rendering AAA game actually runs quite well on PC, as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 does. Unfortunately for Bl6ps, and for us, that technical success is balanced on the knife tip of some seriously overwrought infrastructure. Mainly in the form the UX nightmare that is the Call of Duty HQ launcher, as well as a meddlesome always-online requirement, itself serving a feature that doesn’t even work that well.
]]>Rock Paper Shotgun has a fuzzy conception of "news", in that we regard the "new" element of news as overrated, more of a guideline than an obligation. The trick to selling this mindset is to overclock your obnoxious narcissism until it levels up into stylish solipsism. "It's news to me," I sternly insist, while announcing a game you might pedantically observe was announced in 2019. "I can obtain no reliable empirical evidence that this existed prior to my noticing it," I declare, writing about my discovery that Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 requires a permanent internet connection, even when you're playing the campaign.
]]>What are the best guns in Black Ops 6? Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 presents players with 30+ firearms to use in epic firefights, and 12 of these guns are newcomers to the franchise.

]]>Looking to build the best AK-74 loadout in Black Ops 6? The AK-74, previously a weapon mostly delegated to Call of Duty's mobile and handheld entries, makes a mighty entrance in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Featuring a good amount of power that can shine with the right equipment, the AK-74's a very decent contender in the Assault Rifle space.
In this guide, we'll break down our preferred AK-74 loadout, including the best attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and other equipment needed to start racking up killstreaks in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer.
]]>What are the best Assault Rifles in Black Ops 6? Assault Rifles are the mainstays of Call of Duty and the tried and true way to rip apart opponents in multiplayer. Not sure which gun you want to start with? Searching for a weapon that's relatively easy to wrap your head around? Pick an AR. Black Ops 6 is no exception to this tradition, and there's a fine array of Assault Rifles available for you to experiment with as you get ready to engage in Cold War firefights.
In this guide, we've divided all Assault Rifles in the game into a tier list, based off of time playing the Black Ops 6 beta and full game. Read on for our complete rundown of the best Assault Rifles in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6!
]]>What are the best SMGs in Black Ops 6? Submachine Guns, better known as SMGs, are popular mainstays in the Call Of Duty series for close-range engagements. Anyone who loves a good balance between a blazing fire rate and solid mobility will find much to offer with a SMG, and Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 provides a nice selection of Submachine Guns for you to mow down the opposition with.
In this guide, we've divided all SMGs in the game into a tier list, based on our time playing the Black Ops 6 beta and full game. Read on for our complete rundown of the best SMG in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6!
]]>Looking to build the best C9 loadout in Black Ops 6? The C9 is an effective Submachine Gun that was one of the first acquired during the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta. While there are stronger guns to collect as you level up, the C9 is bound to be a starting weapon in many a player's arsenal, and its high firerate is nothing to underestimate. With a few tweaks, it'll go far.
In this guide, we'll break down our preferred C9 loadout, including the best attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and other equipment needed to start shooting down a wide swathe of foes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer.
]]>Looking to build the best Jackal PDW loadout in Black Ops 6? The Jackal PDW dominated the meta in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's beta, plowing through matches with explosive full-auto Submachine Gun bullet spray. Despite not being quite as top-tier in the main game, the Jackal PDW is still a mighty effective weapon for putting your finger to the trigger and getting headshot multipliers.
In this guide, we'll break down our preferred Jackal PDW loadout, including the best attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and other equipment needed to make the most of this heavy-hitting SMG in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer.
]]>Looking to build the best XM4 loadout in Black Ops 6? The XM4 returns from previous Call Of Duty games to deliver some tried and true goodness into the hands of Assault Rifle fans in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6. This gun is one of the first you can turn to if you're just getting your feet wet with ARs, and it's an excellent jack-of-all-trades option.
In this guide, we'll break down our preferred XM4 loadout, including the best attachments, secondary weapon, perks, and other equipment needed to fire fast and hard in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer.
]]>A huge scary bearded man has just kicked down my door. His face and shoulders are doused in tactical Dorito dust. His eyes are heavily redacted. He's got assault rifles and comparison screenshots poking out of his ribcage, which are making an absolute mess of the hallway plaster. He says he is Call Of Duty Man, and he is here to let me know about Black Ops 6's day one patch. The new Activision FPS is out tomorrow 25th October, I gather. Call Of Duty Man speaks only in three-syllable bursts and rolling bombardments, but I think if I listen carefully I can make out the highlights. Here's what that patch involves, in nickel-plated bulletpoint form.
]]>Looking for a list of all weapons in Black Ops 6? Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 features an excellent selection of guns for you to unleash upon your foes in multiplayer and zombie matches, and we've got the full rundown of all of the 30+ weapons in the game. Several old franchise favourites are back along with new options - from the explosive, never-run-out-of-ammo XMG to the head-splitting LR 7.62.
Whether you prefer a bullet barrage from a Light Machine Gun or a simple thwack from the Baseball Bat, there's a weapon for you in this roster. In this guide, we've listed all weapons in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 and explained how to unlock them.
]]>Looking for a list of all the Operators in Black Ops 6? Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 continues the franchise's tradition of featuring an impressive roster of Operators at launch for you to use in both regular multiplayer and zombie matches. These Operators are divided into two factions, Rogue Black Ops or Crimson One - basically, the underground team hoping to expose the CIA's conspiracies and the pro-establishment troops who are sanctioned by the CIA. Several Operators must also be unlocked by putting hours into the game, while others are pre-order bonuses and rewards for buying Black Ops 6's Vault Edition.
]]>Looking for the Black Ops 6 release time? This year's Call Of Duty is almost upon us, and Black Ops 6 continues the franchise's long tradition of Cold War-era drama mixed with blazing multiplayer firefights. All players will be able to enjoy the game starting on October 25, but depending on what part of the world you live in, the time you'll be able to boot up Black Ops 6 differs. US West Coast folks and everyone who's pre-ordered the game will also be able to start playing a tad bit earlier, thanks to the wonder of time zones and preloading.
Below, we'll list all of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6's release times, as well as when you can preload the full game.
]]>If somebody grabs you from behind and turns you into a human shield in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6, they can drag you around for about five seconds before you die, assuming they don't execute you early. Here are 12 things you can do in those five seconds:
]]>Unionised workers at Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 studio Raven Software have filed a complaint with the US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against parent companies Activision Blizzard and Microsoft, as reported by Game File (paywalled), and covered by Game Developer. The complaint, write Game Developer, is over “bad faith bargaining” and “concerted activities” - which covers "retaliation, discharge, [and] discipline."
]]>Activision have just screened an abbreviated video of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign level “Most Wanted”, in which you and a buddy infiltrate a US fundraiser to save returning character Adler from Bad Dudes. Good news, people who like Call Of Duty: this looks like Call Of Duty. It’s got a homing knife, an exploding remote-controlled car and a big chap in full face armour with an overcompensatory minigun. Catch the full video below.
]]>For years, our PC storage has wobbled and buckled beneath the tyranny of gigantic Call Of Duty installs. Like 13th century peasants straining to convey huge, teetering loads of freshly quarried LMGs, our SSDs cry out for justice. Perhaps scenting imminent rebellion and a mass audience desertion to low-poly shooters with more civilised file sizes, Activision have relented. Future installations of the much-padded FPS will be "smaller and more customised", though in a last cruel stroke of villainy, they want you to download a large update to prepare the ground.
]]>I don't play much Call Of Duty any more. My feelings about the series have settled back from self-righteous fury over its Pentagon-sponsored war-fellating to a quieter, regretful sense that there have maybe been enough Call Of Duty games now, and that it would be nice if we could fill that infamous late October/early November release slot with, I don't know, games about witches instead, or maybe just turn it into a public holiday and spend the week lying on a mattress regarding the ceiling. Still: I've skinned and filleted enough COD in my time to know that Black Ops 6's new "omnimovement" system is going to ruffle as many feathers as it smooths. The short version is that it turns you into Max Payne.
]]>The US Federal Trade Commission have slammed Microsoft's recently announced Game Pass price hikes as "exactly the sort of consumer harm" they claimed would result from the Xbox publisher's now-completed acquisition of Activision-Blizzard.
]]>The ouroboros is a snake eating its own tail: an infinite thing, a never ending cycle. While I do think this is a rather metal logo, there's an argument to be made that it's not current or trendy enough. With this in mind, I think the words "Call Of Duty" should represent the endless, unstoppable nature of existence. And with Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 revealing its multiplayer open beta and early access dates, we must further consume and be consumed by the circular march of COD. Let's dolphin dive in, shall we.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will release this October, including a day one launch on Game Pass, with an open beta on the way - and it’s certainly looking like a Call of Duty game.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be the first Call Of Duty to launch on Microsoft Game Pass, according to a notification that went out this morning via the Xbox Game Pass app for iPhone and Android. "Just announced: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is coming to Game Pass on day one later this year!" it reads. Sounds like a solid confirmation from me, though Microsoft and Activision have yet to start bellowing the news from any of Call of Duty’s official pulpits.
]]>Activision have celebrated my birthday in the traditional manner by announcing a new Call Of Duty game. Said Call Of Duty game is Black Ops 6, "a dark new chapter" in the Treyarch-helmed FPS sub-series which is known for seedier and weirder, alt-historical or post-future stories featuring hallucinations and cybernetics and catchy period music.
]]>The next Call Of Duty will arrive on Game Pass on day one, according to anonymous sources. Microsoft's strategy has long involved releasing all their first-party games on Game Pass, but there had been doubt over whether the same would be true of the first Call Of Duty to be released since Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of publishers Activision.
]]>Former Microsoft senior PR manager Brad Hilderbrand has blogged about the recent closure of Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin, making a familiar case that Microsoft’s gaming division are now expected “to cut expenses to the bone” in the wake of the wildly expensive acquisition of Activision Blizzard and amid slowing growth of the Game Pass subscription business. In Hilderbrand’s view, Game Pass will likely never be sustainable or profitable. Microsoft’s only chance on this front, he says, is “to put all the world's biggest games on the service” – namely, Call of Duty, which still earns hundreds of millions annually in direct sales, or GTA 6, which, hahahaha.
