Summary
- Treyarch confirms development of an in-game challenge tracker for Black Ops 6.
- This feature, present in 2023's Modern Warfare 3, was absent from Black Ops 6 at launch.
- While a release date is unannounced, its arrival is anticipated with a major content update later this month.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch Studios has announced they are developing an in-game challenge tracker for the game. This highly requested feature, available in 2023's Modern Warfare 3, was notably absent from Black Ops 6's initial release, disappointing many players. Although a specific release date remains unconfirmed, the upcoming Season 2 update later this month suggests a potential timeframe for its implementation.
On January 9th, Treyarch deployed an update for Black Ops 6, addressing various issues across Multiplayer and Zombies modes. This included UI and audio bug fixes, along with an XP boost for the Red Light, Green Light game mode. Significant Zombies mode changes reversed a controversial January 3rd update, restoring the original round timing and zombie spawn mechanics in Directed Mode following player feedback.
Treyarch Confirms New Black Ops 6 Feature in Development
Responding to a fan's Twitter request for an in-game challenge tracker, Treyarch confirmed the feature is "currently in the works." The absence of this popular feature (present in Modern Warfare 3) caused significant disappointment, especially considering both titles share the Call of Duty HQ app.
The addition of a challenge tracker will be particularly beneficial to players pursuing Black Ops 6's Mastery camos. Mirroring the Modern Warfare 3 implementation, the tracker will likely allow players to select a challenge (e.g., a headshot camo objective) and view real-time progress within the game's UI, eliminating the need to wait until match completion for updates.
In a separate response, Treyarch confirmed another significant improvement for Black Ops 6 Zombies is also under development: separate HUD settings for Multiplayer and Zombies. This addresses player frustration with constantly adjusting HUD preferences between modes.
