Summary
- A weapon blueprint in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is unusable without an optic sight, putting players at a disadvantage.
- The Occult blueprint for the PP-919 submachine gun cannot be used without an optic sight as the camo's floating blue fragments are directly in front of the iron sight.
- Black Ops 6 players have had the exact same issue with another weapon blueprint earlier this month.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players aren't happy after discovering that a weapon blueprint for the PP-919 submachine gun is unusable when the equipped optic sight is removed. The Occult blueprint is featured in the Dark Practitioner bundle in both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, and while it does come with an abundance of cosmetic items, one of the included blueprints appears to have a serious bug that would put the player at a massive disadvantage if used.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that the Call of Duty community has discovered a serious issue with one of Black Ops 6's weapon blueprints. Earlier this month, one player took to the Black Ops 6 subreddit to showcase how the Salutations BlackCell blueprint for the Saug SMG has a distracting flame right in front of the weapon when the equipped optic sight is removed. Although the weapon is perfectly usable with an optic sight, many players like to adjust their blueprints and remove the sight in order to equip a different attachment.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Player Angry After Purchasing Broken Blueprint
Just a few weeks on, Black Ops 6's weapon blueprints are once again causing controversy as Reddit user Still-Experience3419 is bringing attention to the Occult weapon blueprint for the PP-919. This blueprint is available for 2,400 COD Points as part of the Dark Practitioner bundle, and although it comes pre-equipped with an optic sight, it looks like removing the sight makes the weapon borderline unusable. As seen in the clip below, removing the sight seems to display floating blue fragments directly in front of the iron sight, making it incredibly distracting and obstructive for players in a gunfight.
Call of Duty's blueprints are a quick and easy way for players to get their hands on weapons with pre-equipped attachments, with many of them also coming with unique camos that aren't obtainable through any other means. Blueprints were first introduced in 2019's Modern Warfare reboot and have grown in popularity over the years. Unfortunately, the camos that come with these blueprints have slowly started to become more and more outlandish, fuelling the controversy around Call of Duty's unrealistic cosmetic items and skins.
Despite players discovering numerous broken weapon blueprints and continued controversy around the game's cosmetic items, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been a big success for publisher Activision and developer Treyarch. According to Activision, Black Ops 6 has had the biggest launch month in Call of Duty history, with the highest number of total players, hours played, and total matches in the game's first 30 days.

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.
