Following a recent Call of DUty: Black Ops 6 update, players have noticed a strange issue happening when using the Gunsmith feature in multiplayer. While attempting to customize a weapon with a new optic sight, players have been frustrated by a bug that deselects the optic once the weapon has been edited again.

Part of the frustration was the timing of this, as players attempted to take advantage of the extended double XP weekend in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, but were slowed by having to ultimately adjust their loadout multiple times. In fact, this issue even extended to Blueprints, which forced players to reapply the blueprint to obtain the optic again..

As revealed within the Call of Duty Updates social account, the developer was quickly able to identify and then ultimately provide a hotfix for the issue impacting the optics attachments in Black Ops 6 Gunsmith. Naturally, feedback on the fix has been positive, with an obvious sigh of relief from the community over no longer having to constantly enter the Gunsmith to adjust weapon optics anymore.

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.
