Summary

  • Community criticism of Prop Hunt in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 includes flash issues and unlimited hunter ammo.
  • Prop Hunt has been a fan-favorite mode carried over from previous games, but it may need adjustments in Black Ops 6.
  • Treyarch may update Prop Hunt in Black Ops 6 in response to player feedback.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 community has highlighted problems with the Prop Hunt game mode, like players being unfazed by flashes and a lack of penalties for shooting randomly. Prop Hunt has been a staple in the series for many years, but Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 may have some issues with its iteration.

The first Call of Duty game to feature Prop Hunt was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare when it was added as a community mod. Since then, Activision has added the popular game mode with Call of Duty: WW2 and many subsequent releases. As it's a game mode that has been carried from one game to another akin to Zombies, many players have become fans of Prop Hunt over the years. Prop Hunt was introduced to Black Ops 6 as part of the massive Season 1 update, which also included new weapons, maps, perks, and more. With many gamers experiencing the latest version of Prop Hunt, some are unsatisfied with this iteration compared to earlier versions.

Reddit users _Jaffamuncher and PC-Tamer are among many Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players who have pointed out problems with the newly added Prop Hunt game mode. The first Reddit user highlighted multiple issues with Black Ops 6's Prop Hunt, including no flash damage and unlimited ammo for hunters, zero penalty for hunters that shoot every object on the map, and the Best Play not showcasing the final remaining prop. PC-Tamer pointed out that even modded versions of Prop Hunt include HP damage for hunters who shoot objects that aren't props. This hunter damage removes the incentive for players to shoot anything that could be a prop as they can eventually die.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Have Some Issues With Prop Hunt

While some Black Ops 6 players have suggested that being able to spray bullets at anything is necessary for finding well-hidden props, others see it as a key flaw in the game mode. Some believe that limiting a hunter's ammo capacity may also help limit their ability to shoot every object. The flash issue is one key community complaint, but it may be a bug regarding the Black Ops 6 flash. When a prop initiates a flash, they're supposed to be able to move somewhere else to blend in while the hunters are blinded, but it's not working in the same way it has in entries like Call of Duty: WW2.

As Treyarch just added Prop Hunt to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with the release of Season 1, the game mode may be modified in the future. Treyarch is committed to updating Black Ops 6 for many seasons, which may result in a patch focused on fixing Prop Hunt.

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.
