Summary
- Treyarch confirms it is working on adding a feature to allow Black Ops 6 players to track challenges in the game's UI.
- Challenge tracking was available in 2023's Modern Warfare 3, but did not carry over to Black Ops 6.
- A release date for the feature is currently unknown, but a major content update is coming later this month.
Treyarch Studios, the developers behind Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, have announced their commitment to reintroduce challenge tracking within the game's user interface. This eagerly awaited feature, which was a hit in 2023's Modern Warfare 3, had notably been absent from Black Ops 6, causing disappointment among the fanbase. Although the exact release date remains undisclosed, fans can look forward to potential integration with the upcoming Season 2 update, slated for later this month.
On January 9, Treyarch rolled out a comprehensive update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, enhancing both Multiplayer and Zombies modes. The patch included numerous bug fixes related to UI and audio, along with increased XP rewards for the new Red Light, Green Light game mode in Multiplayer. Notably, the Zombies mode underwent significant revisions following community feedback. Treyarch reversed a controversial update from January 3, which had extended the time between rounds and delayed zombie spawns after five looped rounds in Directed Mode.
Treyarch Confirms New Black Ops 6 Feature in Development
Although not detailed in the recent patch notes, Treyarch directly addressed a fan's request on Twitter about the missing challenge tracking feature in Multiplayer matches. The studio confirmed that the feature is "currently in the works." Given its popularity in Modern Warfare 3, the absence of challenge tracking in Black Ops 6, despite both games being accessible via the Call of Duty HQ app, left many players frustrated.
For those striving to earn Black Ops 6's coveted Mastery camos, the reintroduction of in-game challenge tracking will be a significant enhancement. If implemented similarly to Modern Warfare 3, players will be able to select and monitor their chosen challenge, such as headshot camos, directly from the game's UI, providing real-time progress updates without the need to wait until the match concludes.
In another interaction with fans, Treyarch also revealed that a substantial update for Black Ops 6 Zombies is underway. Responding to a request for separate HUD settings for Multiplayer and Zombies to ease the transition between modes, the studio confirmed that this feature is "also in the works."
