Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are sharing accounts of a gameplay bug where they're surrounded by a glowing green aura, making them stick out, vulnerable to the entire enemy team for easy elimination. Multiplayer games that receive so many constant updates like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can often encounter bugs that lead to some inconveniences, but fans are expressing dissatisfaction with this problem because it feels like a spotlight that could potentially punish good gameplay.
Call of Duty players often value the element of surprise compared to brute force approaches, but sometimes sneaking isn't possible. Some members of the Black Ops 6 fan community have pointed out how much easier it is to spot players using the neon green glowing Dragon Knight skin for Westpoint. Although standing out with cosmetics has become a choice that's divided the player base on what the direction of Call of Duty games should look like, a new problem has surfaced where players are forced to stand out everywhere on the map, regardless of whether they want to.
How Did Nuketown Become Call Of Duty's Most Iconic Map?
With its hectic, nonstop action and vibrant yet almost uneasy vibe, Nuketown is one of Call of Duty's Most Iconic multiplayer maps.
Reddit user Plastic-Pickle-2683 shared a screenshot that showcases a recent bug in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with their body visibly glowing across the map. People are pointing out that the issue seems to happen to anybody who gets First Blood on Holiday Nuketown. This bug's recent appearance in Black Ops 6 has been assumed by many players to be a product of the latest Black Ops 6 update. The bug doesn't seem to just offer a flaw when it comes to player cosmetics, it seems to be a genuine strategic detriment where stealth is involved.
Green Glow Bug in Black Ops 6 Leaves Players Dissatisfied
Players who are sharing their experiences of being lit up like Christmas trees are also pointing out how much of a disadvantage this bug presents. For gamers who prefer to sneak across the map or people who want to get out of a sniper's line of sight, it may be much more difficult. Some have stated that this map is specific to Black Ops 6 multiplayer and Zombies modes, but others recall seeing the same or similar issues since Modern Warfare (2019), indicating that this bug could highlight an issue with the newer Call of Duty ecosystem overall.
The good thing about the new bug in Black Ops 6 is that it seems to be limited to Nuketown, based on player reports. Although this could be a huge disappointment to gamers who love this map and were looking forward to spending time playing the holiday-themed Nuketown 24/7 playlist, The problem may not impact gamers nearly as much if they try out other maps in the meantime.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
