The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 community has been vocal about some concerns regarding the popular game mode Prop Hunt, citing issues such as ineffective flash mechanics and hunters having unrestricted ammo. Though Prop Hunt has long been a beloved feature in the series, Black Ops 6’s version seems to be rubbing some players the wrong way this time around.
Prop Hunt first came onto the scene as a fan-mod for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It has since been officially embraced by Activision, appearing in titles like Call of Duty: WW2 and beyond. Much loved like the Zombies mode, Prop Hunt has garnered a loyal following over the years. The latest incarnation arrived with Black Ops 6’s Season 1 update, packed alongside new additions like maps and weapons. However, this latest Prop Hunt iteration has left parts of the community feeling disappointed compared to past versions.
Over on Reddit, users like _Jaffamuncher and PC-Tamer have pinpointed several issues with the current state of Prop Hunt. They’ve noticed problems such as the lack of damage from flashes and hunters having unlimited ammo, which leads to indiscriminate shooting without any repercussions. Additionally, there’s dissatisfaction with the Best Play feature, as it doesn’t highlight the last remaining prop effectively. PC-Tamer even drew comparisons with modded versions of the game, where hunters take damage for shooting non-props, adding an element of risk that currently seems absent.
The ongoing debate is somewhat divided. While some argue that being able to spray bullets is needed to uncover well-hidden props, others see this as a weakness of the game mode. A suggested solution is to cap hunter ammo to encourage strategic shooting. The flash issue, in particular, is a hot topic, possibly pinned down to a bug since it’s not providing the cover it did in former versions like in Call of Duty: WW2.
Given that Treyarch only recently rolled out Prop Hunt with Black Ops 6’s new season, there’s a real chance they’ll tweak the game mode based on player feedback. They’re known for their commitment to updates, so fans might see a patch aimed at improving Prop Hunt in the future.
As Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 continues to evolve post-launch, there’s excitement in the air for what’s to come. With Treyarch and Raven at the helm, the game blends spy thrills with a 90s Cold War backdrop, capturing the attention of both seasoned players and newcomers. From dynamic campaign experiences to high-stakes multiplayer face-offs across new maps, Black Ops 6 sets a high bar. The return of the much-anticipated Round-Based Zombies mode promises ongoing adrenaline-pumping action. Players can expect more thrilling maps and unique experiences in the months ahead as developers roll out fresh content for both multiplayer and Zombies enthusiasts.
