  • Activision dismisses Black Ops 6 hit-recording complaints as 'incorrect blood effects', upsetting fans.
  • Call of Duty community accuses Activision of 'gaslighting' over hit tracking issues.
  • Warzone players have also been affected by the issue since Black Ops 6's integration.



Call of Duty publisher Activision has teased fans with its response to Black Ops 6 and War zones hit-registration complaint, which claims that an issue resulting in “incorrect blood effects” when shots were missed is the real issue, but fans aren't convinced. Black Ops 6 is the latest Call of Duty the title will launch with a myriad of bugs and gameplay issues, but fans now believe that Activision is “gaslighting” the community over the title's biggest issue.

Despite ongoing complaints about UI bugs and faulty XP, Black Ops 6 has had the biggest launch in Call of Duty story, according to Activision. Last month, the studio took to Twitter to thank fans who Black Ops 6 had broken many records for Call of Duty series, amassing the highest number of total players, hours played, and total number of matches in the first 30 days from launch. To celebrate, developer Treyarch Studios kicked off a massive double XP event from November 27th to December 2nd, giving fans the chance to earn double player and weapon XP, as well as double gobblegums in Zombies.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 responds to hit registration issues

Unfortunately for Treyarch, Black Ops 6The double XP event and massive roster update weren't enough to make fans forget about the shooter's ongoing hit registration issues. Since the game's launch on October 25, players have reported many issues with Black Ops 6s hit registration. While not everyone may have experienced the problem, many claim that their shots do not connect with their opponents, despite being accurate and on target. Now, in a new statement on Twitter, Activision claims this was the result of “incorrect blood visual effects,” as opposed to a problem with the game's hit tracking.


As expected, the studio's dismissal of Black Ops 6s hit registration problem has upset the entire community. After being viewed more than two million times and counting, fans believe that Activision “gaslighted” players into believing that there are no hit registration issues and that it was actually due to blood effects from enemies when shots miss. Content creator Westie said it was “getting really tiring”, while Loochy said: “I'm sorry, but I'm not going to get fired up thinking the 'incorrect blood visual effects' are to blame.”

The issue is not just limited to Black Ops 6 either, as War zone players also encounter the same experiences in the free-to-play Battle Royale title. YouTuber FlexZ even responded with a clip asking the studio to explain how there isn't an obvious hit tracking issue with the game. In the clip, the content creator can be seen hitting several shots directly on target but did not receive a single hit marker. Only time will tell if the massive community backlash will result in a further statement from the studio.
