Summary

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 introduces a co-op pause feature for Zombies mode.
• AFK Kick Loadout Recovery lets players rejoin with their original loadout after being kicked for inactivity.
• Separate HUD presets for multiplayer and Zombies offer enhanced customization.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's upcoming Season 2 update brings exciting news for Zombies fans, including several highly anticipated features. This latest tease reveals significant improvements designed to enhance the overall Zombies experience.

Over a decade since its debut in World at War, Zombies remains a cornerstone of the Call of Duty franchise, and Black Ops 6 is no exception. Treyarch continues to deliver engaging, immersive experiences, and Season 2 builds on this foundation with several key updates.

While multiplayer receives its share of updates, Zombies gets some serious love too. Beyond the new Tomb map, players can look forward to a range of improvements. A standout addition is the co-op pause option, allowing players in the same party to pause the game collaboratively—a long-requested feature finally implemented.

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 you have fewer than 10 tracked, the closest-to-completion challenges will automatically fill the remaining slots. Top tracked and near-completion challenges display in the lobby and options menu.
• Co-op Pause: Party leaders can pause the game for everyone in the same party, facilitating strategic discussions or breaks during intense high-round runs.
• AFK Kick Loadout Recovery: Players kicked for inactivity can rejoin and recover their original loadout.
• Separate HUD Presets for Zombies and Multiplayer: Customize HUD settings independently for Zombies and multiplayer, eliminating the need to switch between presets.

The new co-op pause feature complements "AFK Kick Loadout Recovery," allowing players kicked for inactivity to rejoin with their original loadout intact. Preserving progress is crucial in Zombies, and this feature mitigates frustration caused by unexpected disconnections.

The ability to create separate HUD presets for Zombies and multiplayer enhances customization and streamlines gameplay. Finally, the improved challenge tracking system makes managing the numerous Calling Card and Camo Challenges significantly easier. Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches January 28, 2025.
