- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 introduces a bug in the Archie’s Festival Frenzy event, allowing some players to complete it instantly.
- The event commenced on December 19 and is set to conclude on January 3.

The recently launched Archie’s Festival Frenzy marks the second seasonal event in December for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, following the conclusion of the Merry Mayhem event.
Glitches Affecting Archie’s Festival Frenzy Event
The Archie’s Festival Frenzy event, which started with considerable excitement on December 19, has encountered significant issues. Many players have reported a critical bug that enables them to unlock all rewards almost immediately. As shared on Reddit, various users noted that they initiated the event with substantial amounts of Jolly Archies—some reportedly starting with over 20,000. Given that the top-tier reward costs just 50 Jolly Archies, this unforeseen advantage allows for an instantaneous fattening of player inventories with all prizes, including cosmetics and the much-coveted sniper rifle.

Interestingly, not all players are affected by this glitch. While some have launched the event with thousands of Jolly Archies, others have found themselves starting with no currency at all, such as user RMennie. This inconsistency has sparked a divide among the community; some players appreciate the easy rewards during the holiday season, while others express disappointment about missing the usual grind associated with event completion. Archie’s Festival Frenzy boasts a total of 14 rewards, leading to two weeks of gameplay for those who need to work for rewards.
Call of Duty’s In-Game Event Landscape
Since its launch on October 25, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has featured various in-game events that have allowed players to earn new weapons. However, the series has also seen controversy regarding its monetization strategies. A notable instance occurred during one of the game’s earlier events, which allowed players to purchase the Sirin 9mm SMG directly from the in-game store, circumventing the intended grind associated with the Hit List event.
With two weeks left in Archie’s Festival Frenzy, players still have the chance to experience the excitement of unlocking new rewards—provided they can navigate the pitfalls presented by the system’s bugs.
