CoD: Black Ops 6 And Warzone Patch Notes Detail Several Fixes, Return Of Nuketown 24/7

Season 1 has only been live in Black Ops 6 And Warzone for a day, but the developer is already making changes to both games. The November 15 patch notes include several fixes across all modes, but they sadly also remove the legacy XP tokens from Black Ops 6.

One of the major highlights of the patch notes includes a note from Treyarch that explains that the legacy XP tokens, which were tokens players earned in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone prior to Black Op 6’s launch, were never intended to be added to Black Ops 6 in Season 1. The tokens showing up yesterday was an error, and this has now been corrected to only show those XP tokens available for use in Warzone.

On the multiplayer side of the update, the popular Nuketown 24/7 playlist was added back to the game for both core and Hardcore playlists.

The update patched map exploits on Hideout and Payback, which previously allowed players to go outside of the intended playspace. It also addressed an issue where permanently unlocking the Ghost Perk could prevent it from being equipped.

For Zombies, Season 1’s new Directed Mode is added to private matches with squad-fill off. The update also addresses stability issues for the mode, and an exploit was closed for the Terminus map’s Treasure Hunt side quest, which previously allowed players to earn too much essence.

The Warzone update is much smaller, with the most noticeable change being that the number of available custom loadout slots has been increased from 10 to 12.

Small bug fixes include a correction for an issue that caused Buy Stations to charge players an incorrect amount for items that did not match the displayed purchase price, and another that caused the ground-loot variant of the AEK-973 marksman rifle to fire in a full-automatic mode.

The full patch notes can be found below for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, as shared by Activision.

In other Call of Duty news, players have discovered that Season 1’s battle pass is a slight downgrade from previous years. It also includes an emote that appears to reference the viral breaker Raygun from the Paris 2024 Olympics.
