The Tomb map arrived in Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 2 and fans believe that it still needs one major change in order to be great.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is off to a fantastic start, at least where its undead survival mode is concerned. With two high-quality maps available at launch, and two more already arriving as seasonal content, Zombies fans have plenty to enjoy.
But there’s one thing about the game’s Season 2 offering that players are struggling to enjoy.
The Tomb Easter Egg Purple Orb Change
As part of The Tomb’s Easter Egg quest, Black Ops 6 Zombies players must follow these steps to upgrade the Staff of Ice.
If you want to upgrade the Wonder Weapon into Ull’s Arrow, you must first use the Staff of Ice to shoot three purple crystals inside The Tomb.
Next, you’ll head into the Dark Aether and shoot three floating rocks with symbols on them, then shoot those same symbols on the closed Door to Nowhere.
But when you head through the newly-opened portal, you’ll be tasked with escorting a purple orb – and this step is where the issues lie.
To successfully complete the purple orb escort mission, ALL players must accompany the orb on its route. And if you’re playing with random online players, rather than friends, this can prove tricky.
If all players do not follow the orb, it will forcibly reset and must be attempted again the following round.
We’ve seen many complaints from Zombies fans who want this restriction to be removed, as there’s no way to communicate this fact with matchmade players who have their voice comms and pings disabled.
“It’s not just players not having all those things enabled,” Reddit user Fine_Neighborhood315 writes. “Sometimes you have just haters that are mad they didn’t get a staff and won’t help. Or you get some people that automatically assume you’re doing the [Easter Egg] and if they don’t want to do it they will just not help”
Up until this step, the rest of The Tomb’s Easter Egg quest steps can be performed Solo, so it doesn’t make much sense why this one requires the attention of the whole team.
After all, you only get a single Ull’s Arrow Wonder Weapon for completing it!
Will Treyarch Change the Step?
Some users rightfully point out that doing Easter Egg quests isn’t the ‘point’ of the Zombies mode, it’s just one way to play.
But seeing as this is the only way to upgrade the Wonder Weapon on The Tomb, it’s frustrating to be stuck with the Staff of Ice’s base form, whether you’re looking to take on the final boss or not!
Treyarch has been excellent so far when it comes to listening to player feedback and making changes based on what it hears. The developer recently brought back a popular Zombies camo farming strategy, after it was removed in a prior update.
And it’s not just the purple orb that could use some tweaks – fans also want a big change to the Black Ops 6 Zombies Mystery Box!
