The community of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been voicing concerns about the Prop Hunt mode, specifically pointing out issues like players not being affected by flashes and hunters having an unlimited supply of ammo. While Prop Hunt has been popular over the years, its latest appearance in Black Ops 6 seems to have some hitches that need addressing.
Prop Hunt first made its way into the Call of Duty universe as a community mod in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Activision saw its potential and embraced it, officially adding the mode in games like Call of Duty: WW2, among others. Much like the beloved Zombies mode, Prop Hunt has gathered a substantial fan base over the years. With its introduction in Black Ops 6 during the massive Season 1 update, which also brought along new weapons and maps, some players feel this version didn’t quite hit the mark compared to its predecessors.
A couple of vocal Reddit users, by the handles _Jaffamuncher and PC-Tamer, have been among those expressing their frustration with the Black Ops 6 take on Prop Hunt. They’ve listed numerous problems, like hunters having no penalty for firing at random objects and the absence of damage when shooting decoys. Normally, mod versions of the game include a penalty for hunters, making them pay a price for reckless shooting, potentially leading to their in-game demise.
Within the gaming community, there’s a split in opinion. On one side, players argue that spraying bullets is crucial for finding well-hidden props. On the flip side, others believe this mechanic is a glaring flaw in the game. Suggestions have been made to cap hunters’ ammo to discourage random firing. The flash issue, specifically, is a major gripe among players; it’s possible this could be a bug in Black Ops 6, as normally a prop can escape during a flash, taking advantage of the hunters being momentarily blinded, a feature that seemed to work better in games like Call of Duty: WW2.
With Treyarch having just rolled out Prop Hunt as part of Black Ops 6’s Season 1, there’s still hope for improvements. The developer plans to keep updating the game in the coming seasons, which may lead to tweaks in Prop Hunt based on player feedback.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is crafted with a spy action thriller narrative, setting players in the early ’90s—a time ripe with political transformations, following the close of the Cold War. Developed by Treyarch and Raven, the campaign offers a gripping storyline paired with dynamic gameplay. Players can explore a mix of traditional multiplayer maps and the return of the classic Round-Based Zombies mode, which promises endless undead action across two new maps at its launch.
This iteration of Black Ops offers an immersive multiplayer experience featuring 16 fresh maps. With the franchise’s tradition of introducing engaging post-launch content, fans can anticipate more maps and exciting updates in both Multiplayer and Zombies modes.
Released on October 25, 2024, Black Ops 6 comes packed with features like cross-platform play and an optimized engine for next-gen consoles, ensuring gamers can enjoy hours of seamless and thrilling action.
