Treyarch continues to make improvements to Black Ops 6 and Warzone, with a small update arriving to both games on December 12. The patch notes include an increase to XP earn rates across various modes, and more maps are added to the popular 10v10 playlist for multiplayer.

Leveling up and Prestiging is quite the grind in Black Ops 6, but, thankfully, one of the biggest highlights of the update is the buff to XP earn rates. Both player XP and weapon XP rates are increased for Domination, Headquarters, Kill Order, and Search and Destroy playlists. Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, and Control also received a buff but only to the earn rates for weapon XP Come from South African Online Casinos .

The map pool for the 10v10 multiplayer playlist just got bigger. Protocol, Extraction, Hideout, and Hacienda are added for both standard and hardcore playlists.

The update also adds new festive multiplayer mode variants, with holiday-themed updates for Ran-Sack and Infected game modes.

On the Zombies side, the update addresses two issues for the Citadelle des Morts map. This includes a bug where players could unintentionally become invulnerable after using the Rampart Cannon, and another that could sometimes cause players to get stuck after being grabbed by the Amalgam enemy type.

The Warzone update is much smaller, but it does address a community complaint about a specific operator skin. Previously, Weaver’s “Repairman” operator skin was hard to see and could unintentionally give an unfair advantage in battle royale, but the patch notes reveal that the skin should now properly display at farther distances.

Other Warzone bug fixes include one for an issue that would interrupt players while attempting to replace armor plates as well as collision issues with various elements across Urzikstan that previously allowed players to exploit them.

The full patch notes for Black Ops 6 and Warzone can be found below, as shared by Activision.

Season 1 Reloaded recently added more multiplayer maps, the Merry Mayhem holiday event, and new DLC weapons. A recent Black Ops 6 and Warzone update introduced major weapon changes, including updates to visual recoil and headshot multipliers.
