Call of Duty continues its legacy of forging successful partnerships with popular cultural icons by collaborating with Netflix’s hit series, Squid Game, coinciding with the launch of its much-anticipated second season. This exciting alliance brings a variety of themed content to players in Black Ops 6, including Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone modes.
Fans can anticipate immersive game modes inspired by the intense, life-or-death challenges portrayed in the acclaimed series. Each mode adheres to strict guidelines that create high-pressure gameplay, where the primary goal is to outlast adversaries and claim victory. Below is a detailed breakdown of the Squid Game-inspired modes available in Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
Overview of Squid Game Modes in Black Ops 6 and Warzone
The collaboration introduces four exciting, limited-time game modes that span Multiplayer, Zombies, and Battle Royale formats, highlighting the high-stakes atmosphere of Squid Game while integrating it into the Call of Duty experience.
Red Light, Green Light Mode (Black Ops 6 Multiplayer)
Adapting elements from both Season 1 and Season 2 of Squid Game, the Red Light, Green Light mode tasks players with advancing to the far end of a designated area while evading elimination. At the opposite end, the formidable Young-hee—a robotic doll—monitors player movements.
As in the original series, players must halt their movements when Young-hee sings “Red Light”to avoid elimination. Successfully navigating the rounds demands precise reflexes and strategic timing.
The setting for this game mode is the Red Card multiplayer map in a stadium and unfolds across three rounds, each two minutes long:
- Round 1: Players must proceed without weapons, relying on tactics and careful movement.
- Rounds 2 and 3: The introduction of weapons enables players to use melee attacks and Finishing Moves to eliminate their competitors.
Pentathlon Mode (Black Ops 6 Multiplayer)
- Piggy Bank TDM: In this race for points, players score from kills that contribute to a communal Mega Piggy Bank. Strategic moments arise as players can claim significant rewards throughout the match.
- Roulette: Featuring a unique Roulette Handgun that eliminates foes with a single shot for double points; however, it comes with the thrilling risk of malfunctioning and exploding upon use.
Pentathlon matches are designed to maintain competitive balance, with potential for draws to ensure fairness throughout the event.
Squid Game Moshpit (Black Ops 6 Multiplayer)
The Squid Game Moshpit amalgamates conventional Multiplayer formats such as Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint, infusing them with elements drawn from Squid Game to revitalize gameplay. Key features include:
- Red Light, Green Light Scorestreak: Deploy this scorestreak to compel opposing players to freeze, enforcing the rules of the eponymous game from the series.
- Piggy Bank Mechanic: Fallen players create Piggy Banks, offering score bonuses when collected. Each kill adds to the Mega Piggy Bank, triggering fierce competition for its contents.
- Roulette Handgun: Situated centrally on the map, this potent weapon facilitates one-shot kills while creating a persistent UAV effect. However, it risks exposing the user’s position and features the possibility of an explosive backfire.
Dead Light, Green Light (Black Ops 6 Zombies)
In a zombified interpretation of the Multiplayer option, Dead Light, Green Light occurs in maps like Citadelle des Morts and Liberty Falls, introducing a thrilling undead variant of the series’ iconic game. Players navigate through several phases while battling zombies and managing resources:
- Green Light Phase: Earn an Essence bonus by taking down zombies, urging players to adopt an aggressive strategy for resource accumulation.
- Red Light Phase: Unauthorized movement results in a depletion of Essence; players can opt to either spend their Essence or remain still to retain resources.
- Dead Light Phase: In this intense Zombies-only round, players will face waves of menacing zombies, necessitating careful planning for survival.
Squid Game Mode (Warzone)
The Squid Game mode in Warzone pits players against a succession of rotating challenges on the Urzikstan map. As each round unfolds, the weakest squads face elimination, ensuring only the most resilient teams progress.
Players must stay alert, as unforeseeable challenges can appear at any moment, including rotating rounds reminiscent of the high-stakes Red Light, Green Light, adding an unexpected twist to the competition.
