COD Black Ops 6 Season 1: Leaks of New Weapons, Gameplay Updates, and Roadmap Details
Get ready for the Black Ops 6 Season 1 update with leaks on new weapons, gameplay tweaks, camo mixing, and balancing fixes. Check out what’s coming, along with patch notes and roadmap details.
The buzz is real! The Season 1 update for Black Ops 6 is coming, and players are keenly awaiting some new leaks in regards to weapons and features, some of which are long-awaited gameplay tweaks. It's time to run down for you what might be included with the update - a new cache of weapons, gameplay fixes, and maybe even a few cool new features in there too.
Update Prep: File Size and Pre-Download
The update isn't quite in the database yet, but expect to get the lowdown on file size and pre-download options early next week. These details will probably pop up a few days before the official launch, so get ready to free up some storage space!
Leaked New Weapons: KSG Shotgun & R700 PSS Sniper Rifle
If the rumors prove to be true, two more weapons are ready to go for Season 1. Here is what you need to know.
KSG Shotgun: A carryover from Black Ops 2, this is a pump-action, bullpup shotgun for a nice little spice over existing shotguns along with the Marine SP and ASG 89.
R700 PSS Sniper (aka "Pellington"): The R700 PSS is rumored to look like the old Cold War favorite, Pellington. That'll bring the fourth sniper to Black Ops 6, joining the heavy hitters in LR 762, Frostline, and SVD.
Two new guns this early in suggests a serious commitment to a more robust armory - a strategy not unlike what we saw in Modern Warfare 3.
New Feature Teaser: Camo Mixing
One juicy leak that is hinting at this feature for Black Ops 6 could allow players to blend different camo styles, be it Forsaken, Priceless, or Interstellar, to get new unique custom looks. Camo mixing was first rumored during Modern Warfare 3, so though it might make its appearance here, it may arrive later, to keep hype going for new camos within the season.
Balancing & Fixes: What to Expect in the Patch Notes
Putting season one on this specific aspect of gameplay, the gamers can expect a major patch that would probably focus on balancing gameplay and general bug fixes. Here's a quick peek at what's probably coming:
AR weapon balance: The damage on ARs will be reduced by a smidge and the range of SMGs will go up one notch. It's going to get more tweaks as ARs could be nerfed further for close proximity and SMGs could pack a bit more punch.
RECON Special Ability Nerf: Wall vision coming onto the Recon ability is set to another nerf, in an effort to keep things in check in competitive play.
Tuning: General Patches Stability improvements, user interface updates, movement fine-tuning, and spawning are probably to be there in this list. The list may also include bugs like accidental completion of challenges and Zombies' God Mode bug.

- Roadmap Drop: Should drop within the next 24 hours.

Final Thoughts: Get Ready to Jump
When there is any leak, remind yourself that some information will still be amended. But if everything goes according to plan, Season 1 for Black Ops 6 is going to be quite the knockout. Stay on the lookout for official announcements and keep tuned with more updates as launch day draws near!
