Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will finally be here in no time, and players across the globe are plunging into action-packed, adrenaline-fueled battles the game has for them. However, like most big games, players may face some common issues or frustrations while playing. Whether it’s in terms of connectivity, performance, or some struggles with in-game mechanics, we’re here to sort them out so you get back in the fight.
In this blog, we will highlight the most common problems which a player might encounter in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 while playing and some quick tips and tricks to solve them.
Connection Issues: Lag and Server Problems
Lag is probably one of the most frustrating things for any gamer. The worst experience would be in a tight multiplayer game when connection drops or spikes at the worst moment.
1. The solution to Lag and Connection Problem:
Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable. Wired internet is always better than Wi-Fi in online gaming. Connect the device directly to the router using an Ethernet cable, if you can, for the best connection.
2. Adjust In-Game Surroundings:
Through the settings menu, adjust your multiplayer matchmaking ping threshold to a lower value. That way, it can connect you to closer servers that would be easier on the lag spikes.
3. Server status:
Sometimes, you’re not the problem but the server is. If you encounter frequent problems, check on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 server status through the official channels or social media. Maybe wait your turn if there is some downtime going on or too much traffic.
4. Close Background Apps:
If you are playing on PC, shut down those programs which may run in the background. These background applications will consume both bandwidth and CPU, which might harm the performance of the game.
Black Ops 6 Performance On Low-End Systems
Not everyone is playing Black Ops 6 on the latest hardware. If you face frame drops or low-quality graphics, then your system might be suffering from the requirements of the game.
Solutions for Performance Problems:
- Lower Graphics Quality: Dial down your overall graphics quality to a medium or low quality setting in the graphics settings. Then, based on what settings you have available, dial down more specific options on things like shadows, textures, and anti-aliasing to find a good trade-off between performance and quality.
- Turn Off Unnecessary Features: Turn off motion blur, depth of field, and all the other kinds of visual effects. These kinds of things use a lot of power but don’t necessarily make the game feel any worse.
- Update Drivers: Make sure you have updated your GPU drivers. Typically, the manufacturers, NVIDIA and AMD, make the drivers based on the latest games, so you’re likely only getting a fraction of the performance that the driver could output to because of old drivers. Updates on these drivers may bring in possibly huge performance upgrades.
- Performance Mode: On console, ensure that your console systems prioritize performance over visuals. Most next-gen consoles have options where it may improve frame rate at the expense of some graphical quality.
Difficulty Aim and Recoil Control
Some players find it quite hard to aim, especially when some enemies require accuracy, or if weapons have too much recoil.
Solutions to Improve Aim and Recoil Control:
- Adjust Your Sensitivity Settings: Mess around with your aim sensitivity within the settings. Most players have found it beneficial to lower the aim sensitivity for increased accuracy. One becomes pretty accurate with the perfect match for their personal playstyle.
- Use Aim Assist (Console): If on console, make sure to have aim assist on for consoles. This will genuinely aid in precision aiming, particularly when dealing with fast-moving targets.
- Practice in Private Matches: Create a custom match with bots to practice your aim. Start off with weaker bots and work your way up to hard bot difficulty. This training will help you get comfortable with the other weapons, as well as how aiming mechanics work.
- Choose Low Recoil Rifles: Not all rifles are the same in terms of recoil. If you can’t get recoil to be manageable, stick to assault rifles or low recoil rifles because they have easier recoil. Once you get more comfortable, you can try harder, but harder to control, rifles.
Being Overwhelmed by Multiplayer
Leapfrogging into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multi-player is a very hard and brutal experience, especially when you are facing such skilled professionals. It goes so fast that it is very easy to get overrun in just a matter of seconds, especially in Team Deathmatch or Domination modes.
Quick Fixes for Success Multiplayer
- Stick with a Team: Call of Duty is just as much of a game about individual skill as it is teamwork. Stick close to your teammates to cover each other and coordinate attacks. Lone-wolf playstyles tend to get you dead quickly, especially against coordinated teams.
- Make liberal use of tactical equipment: Do not take lightly the importance of grenades, flashbangs, and all related tactical equipment. These devices are between life and death when pushing into enemy territory or specifically defending a location.
- Learn the Maps: Survival in multiplayer requires knowledge of the maps. Take some time to explore all the maps and learn their best routes, choke points, and hiding spots that you can strategically use against your opponents to stay in the game longer.
The modes, such as Domination or Hardpoint, are game-specific, that is to say, less dependent on kills and more on strategy and teamwork. This makes it relatively easy to contribute even if you are not the top scorer with kills.
Underperformance in Zombies Mode
Zombies mode returns in Black Ops 6 with a mixture of terror and survival and strategy. However, the mode might be overbearing, especially to new players or even veterans of the mode in regard to the waves of the undead.
Solutions to Surviving Zombies Mode
Communication: If you’re playing in a team, that is a good place to pour all your success if you have perfected good communication skills. Coordinating moves together and sharing your resources will mean that somebody is always keeping an eye out for you when one of you goes down.
- Use Your Points for Good: Don’t spend all of your points on new guns-use them to purchase perks like Juggernog or Speed Cola. These perks are really useful in later rounds.
- Explore the Map’s Layout: Every Zombies map features secret locations, power-ups, and shortcuts. Knowing exactly where something as important as the Pack-a-Punch machine or the Mystery Box can lie really does help you a lot when playing on waves when they become difficult.
- Proper Utilization of Traps: Most Zombies maps feature traps that help in managing extreme hordes. Use them correctly and save bullets while attempting to deflate zombie waves, particularly during higher rounds.
Missing Out on Progression and Unlocks
While you will find satisfaction in unlocking new weapons, skins, and rewards as you progress, it may get frustrating at some points because other players might feel that they are progressing too slowly or even missing out on certain things.
Solutions to Maximize Progression:
- Challenge Complete: Each mode in Black Ops 6 comes with challenges that reward you with XP and unlock. Try to pay attention to them and complete them as soon as you can for the faster progression.
- Daily and Weekly Objectives Complete: The game will often give you daily and weekly challenges, providing bonus XP. Completing those objectives will quickly enhance your progress.
- Event: Double XP Weekend Events: Keep an eye out for special events where there are double XP weekends. That’s a fun way to gain XP quicker than usual, and rank up quickly to unlock some new gear.
Use Weapon Loadouts Strategically: The speed of unlocking weapons and perks is different. Focus on levelling guns that have easy camo challenges that you can complete or those with versatile usability in multiple game modes.
