Black Ops 6's Free-For-All Achievements Glitch Explained

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has seen its fair share of errors and bugs since it launched in October, but an ongoing problem in the beloved Free-For-All mode has been particularly frustrating for players. While Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been a stronger release compared to some of its more recent predecessors, some bugs in the game have been persistent problems, and Free-For-All sees one of the game's biggest problems of all.

When you play Free-For-All in Black Ops 6the goal is to be the first player to reach 30 kills. This seems pretty straightforward, but the bug plaguing players has prevented seemingly rightful winners from winning the title. Even if a player collects the required 30 kills, the mode will not register them as the winner of the match, which has left many confused.

Black Ops 6 Free-For-All players want answers from developer Treyarch

A long-standing problem that has not yet been fixed

According to many players on Reddit, this issue has been happening ever since Black Ops 6 Season 1 started. That was on November 14th, which means this huge bug has continued to annoy players for nearly two months. Player Eye_Of_Apollo posted on Reddit saying that they had documented 200 instances of being the official winner, only to not get the win. The frustrated player went on to say, “I've reported it everywhere and as far as I know Treyarch hasn't acknowledged it.” Fellow players, like Raydeeoo0818, responded to the post saying, “I don't know why they haven't fixed this yet.”

Black Ops 6is forthcoming Octopus game crossover has sparked further controversy, as reports of the collaboration including a separate paid Battle Pass have angered some players.

There are theories as to why this is so. Reddit user Friendly_Pitch7039 suggested that these seemingly incorrect final results may be due to Black Ops 6 record assists as eliminations. While this would make sense as to why this is happening, it would also increase frustration, as this method is counterproductive to the goal of Free-For-All. Counting assists as elimination makes sense in a team-based match, but Free-For-All pits all players against each other, which can make this assist approach arguably unfair in this particular mode. There have been a variety of problems that plague Black Ops 6and Treyarch's lack of answers regarding the Free-For-All bug has made many unhappy.

Hopefully Treyarch will fix this issue sooner rather than later

Right now, it's unclear if the bug will be fixed soon or not, but a patch will hopefully arrive in the coming weeks. While there could potentially be a good reason for Treyarch not directly addressing the issue, the silence also leaves many frustrated. Also with Black Ops 6s players estimate that Steam has dropped over 30% since launch, and not responding to the community could only make that number drop even lower.

Another big bug to fix Black Ops 6 was the latest Archie's Festival Frenzy holiday event. Thanks to a strange glitch, many players automatically received thousands of Jolly Archies, which served as the special currency for the event. This influx of Jolly Archies allowed players to instantly unlock the event's rewards.

Unfortunately, sometimes fixes like this take longer than some would like, so it may be a while before Treyarch can make Free-For-All work as smoothly as frustrated players would like. On the other hand, Treyarch may have intended to count the mode's points this way all along. It may not be entirely clear, but until a potential fix comes to the mode, Free-For-All players may have to expect a potential loss, even if it appears they are winning. Black Ops 6 has faced several controversies since launch, but Treyarch will hopefully fine-tune the game as the weeks and months go by.
