Treyarch has made a key alteration to its holiday event, Archie's festival frenzy, in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Players will earn all the event rewards at the end so that they can advance at their own pace without any grinding pressure.
Event Details and Rewards
The Archie's Festival Frenzy event, launched recently, challenges players to collect “Jolly Archies” by eliminating enemies in multiplayer matches. These can be redeemed for rewards like Double XP tokens and the new AMR MOD 4 Sniper Rifle.
Initially, rewards were unlocked as players collected Jolly Archies. However, Treyarch has shifted this system to grant all rewards to every participant once the event ends on January 3, 2025. This allows players to engage at their leisure during the holiday season without the pressure of grinding to unlock everything.
Reason Behind the Change
This change was probably caused by a bug that allowed some players to receive all the rewards for events without actually having to play the game. The effect of this was to disturb the uneven playing field-the necessity of putting in the effort to complete event rewards would have made that clear for Treyarch, which is why it changed the reward structure.
The studio confirmed the new approach in an official statement: "This just means everybody can be at their own pace". Now, players who have no time during the holidays can play easily and not worry about losing anything.

Community Outlook and Future Plans
The update has sparked mixed reactions. While casual players have appreciated the flexibility, some competitive players argue that it diminishes the grind and sense of accomplishment tied to earning rewards.
Looking ahead, Treyarch is gearing up for major updates, including anticipated improvements to the Ricochet Anti-Cheat system to tackle persistent cheating issues. Season 2 details remain under wraps, but excitement is building as Treyarch teases new content and fixes.
Looks like Archie's been extra nice lately! 🎁
