Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has encountered various performance issues since its launch in October, but one significant glitch in the Free-For-All mode has particularly frustrated players. While this installment demonstrates a stronger performance relative to some of its recent predecessors, persistent glitches continue to mar the gaming experience, especially within the Free-For-All format.
In the Free-For-All mode, players aim to achieve the milestone of 30 kills to secure victory. However, a widespread glitch is preventing many from receiving the rightful recognition as match winners. Even when players successfully reach the targeted 30 kills, the game fails to acknowledge their achievement, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction among the community.
Players Demand Clarity From Treyarch
Persistent Glitch Causing Player Frustration
Reports on Reddit indicate that this issue has been persistent since the beginning of Black Ops 6’s Season 1 on November 14. As a result, players have faced this glitch for nearly two months. A user, Eye_Of_Apollo, mentioned they recorded 200 instances where their score met the win requirement, yet did not receive a victory. They expressed disappointment and remarked that it appears Treyarch has not recognized or addressed the issue.
It LITERALLY SAYS SCORE 30 to win. Scored 30, didn’t win. Didn’t even get Top 3. Been happening since Season 1 started! No acknowledgment from Treyarch… STILL. by u/Eye_Of_Apollo in blackops6
The upcoming Squid Game crossover has further intensified discontent within the player community, as many are upset by the announcement of an associated paid Battle Pass. This situation adds another layer of complexity to Treyarch’s public relations with its players.
Some theories have emerged regarding the nature of the glitch. A Reddit user, Friendly_Pitch7039, suggested that the end-game scoring system may inaccurately count assists as eliminations, muddying the water of victory. While this approach could explain the glitch, it raises concerns about fairness, particularly in a competitive Free-For-All environment where every player vies against one another.
The Urgent Need for an Update
At present, it’s uncertain when or if Treyarch will issue a patch for this glitch. Many players remain hopeful for a resolution in the coming weeks; however, the lack of communication has led to growing frustration. Additionally, with a reported 30% drop in Black Ops 6’s player base on Steam since launch, neglecting to address player concerns could exacerbate the situation.
Adding to the complications, another notable glitch arose during the Archie’s Festival Frenzy event, where numerous players inadvertently gained thousands of Jolly Archies, the event’s specialized currency. This unintended bonus allowed players to rapidly unlock rewards, leading to further controversy about game integrity.
The timeline for a fix remains unclear, and players may be left contending with these issues for the foreseeable future. Whether the scoring system was intended to function this way or not, players may have to brace themselves for ongoing frustrations in Free-For-All until an official resolution is announced. As Black Ops 6 navigates through these challenges, both long-term player satisfaction and the game’s reputation will hinge on how effectively Treyarch responds to the community’s pressing concerns.
