Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's upcoming Season 2 update brings exciting news for Zombies fans, revealed in a recent Season 2 teaser. Over a decade since its debut in World at War, Zombies remains a cornerstone of Call of Duty, and Black Ops 6 is no exception. Treyarch continues to expand the round-based Zombies experience, introducing immersive new locations and significant improvements to the mode.

While Season 2 includes extensive multiplayer updates, Zombies receives considerable attention. Beyond the new Tomb map, players will enjoy several features designed to enhance gameplay. A highly requested co-op pause option allows players in the same party to pause the game collaboratively, a significant addition following the introduction of pausing in Black Ops 6.

Call of Duty Reveals Black Ops 6 Zombies Changes for Season 2

• Challenge Tracking & Near Completion (Zombies and Multiplayer): Manually track up to 10 Calling Card and 10 Camo Challenges per mode. If fewer than 10 are tracked, the system highlights those closest to completion. Top tracked and near-completion challenges display in the lobby and options menu.
• Co-op Pause: Party leaders can pause the game for all party members in co-op matches, facilitating strategy discussions or breaks during extended gameplay.
• AFK Kick Loadout Recovery: Players kicked for inactivity can rejoin with their original loadout, mitigating the frustration of lost progress.
• Separate HUD Presets for Zombies and Multiplayer: Customize HUD settings independently for Zombies and multiplayer, eliminating the need to switch settings between modes.

The new AFK Kick Loadout Recovery feature addresses a common frustration. Players kicked for inactivity can now seamlessly rejoin with their equipment intact, preserving their hard-earned progress. The ability to create separate HUD presets for Zombies and multiplayer enhances customization and streamlines the gameplay experience. Finally, improved challenge tracking makes progressing through the game's numerous Calling Card and Camo Challenges more manageable and intuitive. Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches January 28, 2025.
