COD Black Ops 6 Prop Hunt: How To Play, Tips and Tricks For Hiders and Seekers

Prop Hunt in Black Ops 6 (BO6) is the ultimate party mode for players who want a break from sweaty shootouts and just want to have fun. Whether you’re camouflaging as a random object or chasing down sneaky props, this mode is all about creativity, quick thinking, and, of course, laughs.

If you’re new to Prop Hunt or need a refresher, here’s everything you need to know to dominate the game—whether you’re hiding or seeking.

What Is Prop Hunt in BO6?

Prop Hunt is essentially hide-and-seek but with a twist: one team hides as inanimate objects (props) scattered across the map, and the other team tries to find and eliminate them.

 

 

Props can range from mundane items like chairs and barrels to hilariously oversized objects like cars or vending machines. The seekers’ job is to spot these out-of-place props, while the props’ job is to blend in, evade capture, and maybe pull off some cheeky jukes.

This fan-favorite mode pops up in the BO6 multiplayer playlist periodically, so you’ll need to jump in while it’s available.

How to Play Prop Hunt in BO6

For the Hiders: Become One With the Map

At the start of each round, you’ll be randomly assigned a prop. From there:
    •    Camouflage: Find a spot that makes sense for your prop. For example, if you’re a chair, blend into a room with furniture.
    •    Whistle Smartly: Every so often, props automatically whistle, giving seekers a clue to your location. Use this as a distraction by hiding in tricky spots or near other objects.
    •    Change Props: You get two chances to transform into a different prop. This is perfect for shaking off pursuers or finding a better hiding spot.
    •    Use Stuns: If you’re discovered, throw a stun grenade to temporarily disorient the seekers and make your getaway.

Pro Tip: Sometimes it’s better to hide in plain sight. Being a couch in the middle of a field might just confuse the enemy enough to miss you!

 

 

For the Seekers: Trust Your Instincts

As a seeker, your mission is simple: find and shoot all the props. But it’s not as easy as it sounds. Here’s how to excel:
    •    Scan Carefully: Look for anything that seems out of place. A trash can in the middle of a hallway? A lamp that doesn’t match the room? Start shooting!
    •    Listen Closely: Props whistle periodically. If you’re nearby, the sound will give you a clue.
    •    Use Pings and Stuns: Spot a moving prop? Ping the area to alert your team. If you’re unsure, toss a stun grenade and look for hit markers to confirm the prop’s location.
    •    Shoot Strategically: You’ve got unlimited ammo, so don’t hold back. Fire at anything that seems suspicious—but try to focus on high-traffic or unusual areas.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for props that move. A barrel rolling across the map is probably not supposed to do that!

Winning Strategies for Both Teams

Hiders:

    1.    Be Unexpected: Sometimes the best hiding spots are the most obvious ones.
    2.    Stay Mobile: If a seeker is nearby, be ready to relocate quickly.
    3.    Distract and Escape: Hide near another prop and make them the target while you slip away.

Seekers:

    1.    Work Together: Communicate with your team to cover more ground.
    2.    Map Knowledge is Key: Knowing the map layout will help you spot out-of-place props faster.
    3.    Use Audio Cues: Props’ whistles are your best friend—listen carefully and act fast.

Why Prop Hunt Is the Ultimate Party Mode

Prop Hunt isn’t about racking up killstreaks or proving your gun skill—it’s about pure fun. The mode’s silly gameplay often leads to hilarious moments, like a running toilet dodging bullets or a seeker spending an entire match shooting at the wrong prop.

It’s also a great way to blow off steam with friends, making it one of the most popular modes whenever it rotates into BO6.

Speculation: What’s Next for Prop Hunt?

Given its popularity, there’s always the potential for more map-specific props or even customizable prop loadouts in future updates. Imagine being able to pick your prop or having themed Prop Hunt events (holiday-themed maps, anyone?).

With BO6’s focus on innovation, don’t be surprised if Activision spices up the formula in the next iteration of the mode.

So, whether you’re juking seekers as a rogue flower pot or hunting down a suspiciously placed bicycle, Prop Hunt is all about embracing the absurd and having a blast. Now, get out there and show your friends who’s the true master of disguise!
