Summary
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6players are already discovering flanking routes on multiplayer maps, with one such shortcut being spotted on Stakeout. This discovery isn’t that shocking, considering thatCall of Dutyhas always taught gamers to use the environment in their favor. Unsurprisingly,Black Ops 6follows that design pattern.
SinceBlack Ops 6was released on October 24, gamers have been greatly enjoying multiplayer that launched with a dozen different modes and a total of 16 maps. While the current lineup is reasonably strong, there are already plans to bring back the fan-favorite Nuketown map in November. Until then, there’s plenty to learn on the currently available maps, as demonstrated by one of the recent discoveries. OnBlack Ops 6’s Vault map, there’s a functional diving board that gives players a handy jumping boost. Another discovery, however, may have a bigger impact on gameplay, as it emphasizes tactics over fun.
A Reddit user has accidentally discovered a flanking route on Stakeout, one of the multiplayer maps inBlack Ops 6. In a short video clip, the player steps out of the combat zone, rushes up the stairs, and jumps out the door back into action before the timer runs out. This shortcut puts the gamer in a much more favorable position, allowing them to perform a couple of eliminations on unsuspecting opponents. It may seem frustrating, especially for those already annoyed byBlack Ops 6’s inconsistent multiplayer respawns, but the demonstration still looks impressive. The entire video is 12 seconds long, but during that time, the pace and fighting conditions have changed considerably.
Black Ops 6 Player Discovers Impressive Shortcut on Stakeout
While most of the commenters on the Reddit thread have found the discovery quite useful, some appear to be annoyed by the map design inBlack Ops 6, particularly by the fact that there are often unexpected places for enemies to appear. Interestingly, this isn’t the only concern with the game’s multiplayer. Even though the reception has been mostly positive so far, some players argue that theHUD design fromBlack Ops 6’s campaignshould have been used in multiplayer too. However, while the campaign’s HUD does look more artistic, a much clearer and more readable multiplayer version makes more sense.
While the discovery of a flanking route inBlack Ops 6’s Stakeout may seem game-changing, it’s quite plausible that this particular feature was intended by the development team. After all, it felt natural to witness the said route in action, meaning there could be moresecrets on otherBlack Ops 6maps. Considering that multiplayer inCall of Dutyhas always forced players to outsmart their opponents, adding such borderline legal shortcuts inBlack Ops 6seems like a reasonable evolution. Besides, it’s highly unlikely that such a convenient route outside the combat zone has been left accidentally.
