When fans of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 dive into Prop Hunt, they’re encountering some frustrating issues. Community feedback highlights problems such as ineffectual flash bangs and hunters with an endless supply of ammo. Although Prop Hunt has been a beloved mode for years, its current version in Black Ops 6 seems to be lacking a bit of polish.
This multiplayer mode first debuted as a mod in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and gained official recognition with its inclusion in Call of Duty: WW2. Since then, it’s become just as iconic as the Zombies mode, garnering a loyal fan base. Black Ops 6 introduced its version of Prop Hunt with the massive Season 1 update, which also rolled out new maps, weapons, and perks. However, some players feel that this latest iteration doesn’t quite hit the mark compared to its predecessors.
Over on Reddit, users like _Jaffamuncher and PC-Tamer have raised concerns about these shortcomings. In particular, they note the lack of flash damage and the inexhaustible ammo supply for hunters. The absence of penalties for indiscriminate shooting and a failure to highlight the last prop in the Best Play are also sore points. Comparatively, modded versions tend to penalize hunters who shoot non-prop objects by decreasing their health, encouraging more strategic gameplay.
Some players argue that allowing hunters to freely shoot at everything is necessary to uncover well-hidden props, while others see this as a significant design flaw. Limiting the hunters’ ammunition might offer a solution, as would fixing the flash issue—a key complaint from players. In Call of Duty: WW2, flashing was a strategic way for props to escape and blend in, but it’s not functioning as effectively in Black Ops 6.
Considering Treyarch’s commitment to enhancing Black Ops 6 through multiple seasons, there’s hope that Prop Hunt will receive updates to address these concerns. A future patch focusing on these problems could be on the horizon, bringing much-needed balance to this fan-favorite mode.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 continues to deliver a thrilling campaign set against the backdrop of early 90s global shifts. Developed by Treyarch and Raven, the game immerses players in espionage and action, featuring a gripping storyline unshackled by conventional military constraints. Multiplayer enthusiasts have plenty to explore too, with 16 launch maps and the return of the revered Round-Based Zombies mode. As the seasons progress, both Multiplayer and Zombies will grow with more maps and innovative gameplay features.
Released on October 25, 2024, and optimized for modern consoles, Black Ops 6 brings the adrenaline of espionage to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms with cross-platform features and engaging online modes. Whether in the campaign’s nail-biting moments or multiplayer’s strategic skirmishes, Black Ops 6 aims to captivate players with high-stakes action and memorable experiences.
