Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Mock New Skin

Players are mocking Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's new Dragon Knight Skin for Operator Westpoint because of how far-fetched it seems.

First, the November 15 update for Black Ops 6 and War zone Season 1 increases the total number of custom loadout slots from 10 to 12, giving players on all platforms the same number of slots. This change was made after Xbox and PC players found they only had 10 custom loadout slots to work with, compared to the 12 slots still present in the PlayStation version. Also, the patch notes confirm that both Black Ops 6 and War zone received a PS5 Pro Enhanced upgrade with the latest update, so PS5 Pro players now have access to in-game features such as PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and native 120Hz support. When using PSSR, Black Ops 6 and War zone gamers can enjoy the games at up to 120 FPS while maintaining the image quality found in the base PS5's 60 FPS mode. A new variable refresh rate mode will be added sometime later in the season to ensure image quality is more consistent on supported 120Hz displays.


Nuketown 24/7 is another new addition to Black Ops 6 with the November 15 update. The returning fan-favorite 6v6 mode replaces Radioactive 24/7 in Featured, Quickplay and Hardcore Quickplay playlists. Also, older XP tokens can no longer be used in Black Ops 6meaning players cannot gain additional XP from earned tokens Modern Warfare 3. This change seems to be controversial on social media as players assumed that their XP tokens were meant to be transferred to Black Ops 6.


A number of stability improvements and bug fixes were applied Black Ops 6 and War zone likewise, with the former receiving a majority of the fixes listed in the patch notes. Previously, a bug prevented the Ghost Perk from being equipped after players unlocked it. The update has fixed this issue, so players can now equip the Ghost Perk and contribute more to their teams. The Ghost Perk is especially useful for taking down UAVs and ambushing opponents Black Ops 6's multiplayer game modes.
