Black Ops Tribute Event (April 17–May 1):
Earn XP in any mode to unlock 17 unique rewards—everything from fresh emblems to a John “Black Ops” character skin. You’ll also get a new scorestreak, a powerful perk, and a signature weapon, all dripping in classic Black Ops style. This event runs in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone, but only the premium game’s players snag the exclusive loot.
April 16 Hotfix Highlights:
- Patched an exploit on Dealership’s Commissary roof.
- Fixed disappearing Gobblegums when reloading saved Zombies games.
- Closed multiple Gobblegum glitches (though Treyarch didn’t list each one).
What’s Next—Black Ops 7 Rumors:
A supposed insider hints that the sequel could land around 2035, bringing back fan-favorite Alex Mason from Black Ops 2. Word is they’ll revive omnidirectional movement—and maybe even wall running.
Black Ops 6 still has plenty of life left, but between these fresh playlists, the Tribute Event, and whispers of the future, things are looking busy. Jump in, rack up that XP, and see what comes next.
New Features and Updates:
- Death Machine Scorestreak: Unleash a barrage of bullets with this powerful new addition to your arsenal.
- Close Shave Perk: Gain a tactical edge with this perk that enhances your melee capabilities.
- Nail Gun Weapon: A unique addition to the weapon roster, offering a fresh way to engage enemies.
Upcoming Events and Content:
Rumors suggest a mid-season update might introduce a new map inspired by classic Black Ops locations, alongside limited-time modes that could shake up the current meta.
It’s exciting to see Black Ops 6 getting such a comprehensive update with new playlists and a tribute event. The addition of unique rewards and the return of classic elements like Alex Mason in the rumored Black Ops 7 are sure to keep fans engaged and eager for what’s coming next.
