Here’s how Black Ops 6 is being updated for launch following its beta

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch has revealed a list of changes it’s making to the game following recent online tests.

The Black Ops 6 multiplayer beta concluded earlier this month, ahead of the game’s release on October 25.

Treyarch also acknowledged “common” feedback about low headshot damage, adding that it’s “working on adjustments to many weapons to reward players who land multiple headshots during an engagement”.
