Some Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 fans have strong opinions about how Zombies mode reuses assets from previous titles.
The COD Zombies franchise has been through more than a few evolutions since its debut in 2008’s World at War.
To date, there have been over 35 maps for players to enjoy, as well as frequent re-releases of popular round-based experiences.
But despite Zombies mode regularly bringing back familiar maps throughout its long history, Black Ops 6 fans are taking issue with just how much content they believe is recycled.
Black Ops 6 Zombies Fans Tired of Reused Content
Black Ops 6 fans are growing restless waiting for next season’s Zombies map – despite the fact that one is yet to be confirmed!
Recent leaks indicate that we’ll be heading to the Liberty Falls mansion alongside the recently delayed launch of Season 3, and we already have a full list of all content dropping alongside the new update.
But fans are frustrated to see just how much of the new content is being recycled from older titles.
Not only are we heading back to Liberty Falls, but dataminers discovered references to the Double Tap Perk, the Frost Blast Field Upgrade, and the Shatter Blast Ammo Mod in the game’s files.
All of these items are returning content from previous COD Zombies titles, and the upcoming Wonder Weapon allegedly isn’t a unique one either.
As seen in the Liberty Falls intro cinematic, it appears that the Wunderwaffe DG-2 will be featured in the mansion map.
That’s Enough Old Wonder Weapons
Since appearing in Shi No Numa back in World at War, the Wunderwaffe DG-2 has cropped up again in Call of Duty: Black Ops 1, 3 & 4, as well as Vanguard and Modern Warfare 3.
“If the wunderwaffe comes back then at this point we’ll have 3 maps with reused wonder weapons and only 2 with original ones,” Reddit user Wooden_Gas1064 complains.
It’s safe to say that fans are more than a little tired of seeing it – and it’ll be the fourth returning Wonder Weapon in Black Ops 6! The Beamsmasher and Bastard Swords were excellent new additions to the Wonder Weapon roster, and fans would no doubt like to see more creativity from Treyarch in the future.
It’s not just the Wunderwaffe that players can look forward to either, as the Ray Gun Mark II (which first appeared in Black Ops 2 Zombies) has also been found in the game files.
On top of that, Black Ops 6 repeatedly reuses Special and Elite enemies in each of its maps.
Players are sick of Amalgams in particular, and it appears that Manglers could be returning in the upcoming mansion map too!
But Black Ops 6 can’t afford a sub-par update right now. After all, Call of Duty just hit a record-low player count on Steam, and it needs an exciting season to bring the players back.
Of course, the return of Verdansk to Warzone will definitely be the highlight of the season. But many COD fans who don’t care for the battle royale title are already rooting for Verdank’s return to fail.
