A frustrating glitch ended the fun of zombie-slaying for one Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player, leaving them perpetually stuck on a certain round while playing one of the game's two new round-based maps. The glitch is one of several currently affecting gameplay within Black Ops 6's new Zombies mode, though players have already shared their solutions to combat getting stuck mid-round.
Following its October launch, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been a huge hit for both developer Treyarch and publisher Activision, with the game reaching top spots on digital storefronts like Steam. Black Ops 6 has been praised for its campaign mode, with some calling it one of the best in the entire Call of Duty franchise. Each new mainline release usually comes with a new survival experience, and Black Ops 6 takes fans into the next chapter of Call of Duty Zombies. However, one glitch caused all progress to come to a halt for one unlucky player, prompting a post on social media.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Fans Wish Multiplayer Was More Like The Campaign in One Way
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 fans express their disappointment over one aspect of the multiplayer mode, wanting it to be similar to the campaign.
While reception to Black Ops 6's new Zombies mode has been positive, the game has certainly seen its fair share of glitches, bugs, and other issues, with Reddit user TheZProject115 sharing a photo of them getting stuck. During a match on Black Ops 6's new Liberty Falls map, all zombies stopped spawning on round 11, leaving the player soft-locked. The frustrated player jokingly claimed the Zombies crisis was "over" due to the glitch, leading others to comment on their own experiences with glitches in Black Ops 6's Zombies mode. "The spawns in this game are so weird," said user UhhmActhually. "Sometimes I’m stuck in a round for 5 minutes with no spawns only for like 20 zombies to pop out of thin air and other times the round switches while i literally have zombies running at me."
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Glitch Ends Zombie Spawns
It's unknown what caused this glitch to occur, but given that Black Ops 6 is still in its launch week, it's likely there are plenty of glitches and other issues that will get ironed out soon. Reddit user GoodGuyGhoul commented saying the way to fix the glitch was to save and quit. This has been one of the most talked about new features in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, allowing players to take a break and come back to their Zombies matches at a later point in time. Since its inception, Call of Duty Zombies has been primarily a test of endurance, but with Black Ops 6's new save option, more players than ever can now try their hand at high-round attempts.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launched with two new Zombie maps, Terminus and Liberty Falls. Instead of offering only one option on launch day, Treyarch opted to provide players with two choices. Liberty Falls appears tailored toward a more casual audience while Terminus features a more traditional and complex Zombies experience. Black Ops 6's new maps have been received quite well, both within the Call of Duty Zombies community and the general gaming public, with several new experiences to be added in the near future.

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.
