Summary
- Stakeout 24/7 is back in Black Ops 6 with the latest playlist update.
- Some Black Ops 6 players would like Stakeout 24/7 to become a permanent mode.
- Other players would like another double XP weekend while Stakeout 24/7 is available.
Treyarch released a new playlist update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 featuring the highly popular Stakeout 24/7 mode. The fan-favorite playlist mode is available alongside the limited-time Archie's Festival Frenzy event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, allowing players to earn free rewards for time well-spent in multiplayer.
Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded is well underway with a variety of holiday-themed CODMAS 2024 events and modes as the year comes to a close. In Black Ops 6, the popular Nuketown map received a holiday makeover with snow and plenty of decorations, and the map serves as the ideal location for the limited-time Ran-Snack game mode, which lets teams compete and collect cookies to reach the score limit. Black Ops 6's Archie's Festival Frenzy holiday event is also live with 12 exclusive rewards to obtain by collecting Jolly Archies, which drop from enemy kills. Opening all rewards unlocks the new AMR Mod 4 Sniper Rifle, and players have the opportunity to fast track their progress by playing in Stakeout 24/7.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Adds Jingle Hells LTM
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches the Jingle Hells LTM alongside many other changes to the game as part of the CODMAS 2024 Holiday update.
The Black Ops 6 playlist was updated on December 19 to bring Stakeout 24/7 back, so players can now play on the popular Strike map to their heart's content. In Stakeout 24/7, players may enjoy 6v6 matches with a variety of match types, including Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, and Domination. Since Stakeout is entirely set within a small apartment complex, players will be in constant gunfights until the end of a match. It's unclear how long Stakeout 24/7 will be in the playlist, but this could be the ideal mode for players to quickly farm Jolly Archies and make progress toward unlocking the AMR Mod 4.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Playlist Update Brings Back Stakeout 24/7
- Stakeout 24/7 is available alongside the Archie's Festival Frenzy event for a limited time.
- Stakeout 24/7 features 6v6 match types, like Team Deathmatch and Kill Confirmed.
The community's response to Stakeout 24/7's return appears to be mostly positive on Twitter, but some fans are asking Treyarch for a double XP weekend to accompany the mode. However, the latest double XP weekend in Black Ops 6 ended on December 16, so it's unlikely that Treyarch will host another double XP weekend this soon. Others are also hoping that Treyarch will make Stakeout 24/7 a permanent mode, since Stakeout is one of the maps that players often vote for whenever it appears in playlist matchmaking.
Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded is expected to end around January 28, 2025, so there will be more playlist updates to come before Season 2 arrives. Although Stakeout 24/7 is unlikely to become a permanent fixture of the playlist, there's a chance that it could possibly return in Season 2, alongside other modes that fans have been clamoring for.

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.
