The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 community is voicing concerns about the Prop Hunt game mode. Players have pointed out issues such as flashes not affecting the hunters and the lack of consequences for random shooting. Although Prop Hunt has long been a beloved feature in the series, the version in Black Ops 6 seems to be falling short in some areas.
Prop Hunt first appeared in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as a community mod. Its popularity led to its inclusion in Call of Duty: WW2 and several other games thereafter. Much like the Zombies mode, it has developed a solid fan base over time. The mode was included in Black Ops 6’s extensive Season 1 update, which also brought new weapons, maps, and perks. However, some players feel that this version of Prop Hunt doesn’t hold up against its predecessors.
Criticism hasn’t been limited to one or two disgruntled voices. A number of players on Reddit, including users _Jaffamuncher and PC-Tamer, have been vocal about the problems. _Jaffamuncher criticized the version for not inflicting damage on hunters shooting aimlessly and called out the unlimited ammo for hunters. PC-Tamer mentioned that modded Prop Hunt versions usually penalize shooters who target non-prop objects, effectively discouraging such behavior by imposing health penalties.
Some players argue that being able to shoot freely is essential for uncovering cleverly hidden props, while others feel this undermines the gameplay too much. One major gripe from the community is the flash issue. Ideally, when a prop uses a flash, it should allow them to move unhindered while hunters are momentarily blinded. Unfortunately, it’s not functioning as expected in Black Ops 6, particularly compared to how it worked in Call of Duty: WW2.
However, there is hope for change. Since Treyarch introduced Prop Hunt with the Season 1 release, there’s potential for updates to address these complaints. Treyarch is committed to ongoing support and could roll out patches aimed at improving the mode’s experience.
In the evolving landscape of Black Ops 6, which is set in the early 90s amidst global political shifts, players experience espionage, high-stakes thefts, and clandestine activities. The game also boasts a robust multiplayer with 16 new maps and a fresh take on the Zombies experience, promising a slew of new maps and content post-launch. With its dynamic action and narrative twists, Black Ops 6 continues to allure gamers. All these updates, including Prop Hunt adjustments, point towards an engaging future for players who stick around.
