Summary

ACall of Duty: Black Ops 6player has encountered a very weird bug in multiplayer that appears to “demote” them with huge XP losses. Many gamers out there are already on the grind to max Prestige inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, and getting demoted by the game would definitely prove frustrating to say the least.

It’s still very early inBlack Ops 6’s lifespan, so it’s only natural that gamers are finding new bugs in the game at this initial stage. Even with the game’s open beta a short while ago, Treyarch and Raven Software haven’t been able to iron out all the glitches quite yet. Just recently, another gamer found a very problematicCall of Duty: Black Ops 6bug that allows players to see through flashbangs. It’s not hard to imagine why this could prove to be a huge problem, especially in competitive matches. At the moment, Treyarch seems to be releasing small daily patches for the game to catch these early problems.

In a clip posted online by Redditor Otherwise_Road4909, a post-match screen awards the player with -51,921 XP. The XP wheel spins faster than it can keep up with, and it looks extremely strange. Gamers in the thread were quick to crack jokes about the situation, with one offering some very simple advice, “Get good,” while others hilariously insinuated that Otherwise_Road4909 had played so badly in their previous game that it had no choice but to demote them like this. It isn’t clear whatCall of Duty: Black Ops 6multiplayer modethey were playing to get this glitch in the first place.

Luckily, it’s not all bad news for the player. This “demotion” is a visual glitch with the post-match progression screen.Call of Duty: Black Ops 6hasn’t actually stolen over 50,000 XP from the player, and they haven’t lost any levels as a result of the issue. They’ll bePrestiging inBlack Ops 6in no time. Some users theorized about what could have caused the problem, with one interesting theory. The post was initially made when the game was only available in New Zealand timezones. Players could change their system time to match New Zealand and play the game early, and one in the thread who did so reported seeing the same bug. They said they “thought it was punishment for visiting New Zealand.”

There’s evidently still a fair amount to fix forBlack Ops 6, even if much of the game’s reception has been positive this year. SomeBlack Ops 6players are frustrated with multiplayer respawn points, which has been a tough balancing act for anyCall of Dutydeveloper over the years. Still, the game is solid at launch, offering hope for a great year of action ahead.
