Call of Duty Patch Notes Cause Trust Issues Among Players After Removed Challenge Keeps Appearing in Black Ops 6 Zombies & Multiplayer Matches

The latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has left players questioning the reliability of the game’s patch notes. Recently, developers Treyarch released an update for the game that removed a challenge that required players to get 50 eliminations with no weapon attachments.

Despite this, players are still seeing the challenge appear in both Zombies and multiplayer modes. Understandably, players are confused as to why this was a straight-up lie. With Season 1 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone set to launch soon, players are questioning the developer’s transparency and reliability.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Has Some Weird Glitches

This inconsistency has led players to accuse Treyarch of neglecting quality control. Reddit user Skywave_KR voiced this frustration, sharing that although the patch notes claimed the challenge was gone, they still encountered it in multiplayer sessions

Across multiple online platforms, players are expressing their dissatisfaction with these misleading patch notes. Some players claim that even after meeting the no-attachment challenge criteria, they don’t see progress or rewards.

Bugs and glitches like this can have a negative impact on player satisfaction for a game as competitive and fast-paced as Call of Duty.

Another problem that fans have seen is the game’s tracking of challenge progress, which players report as being inconsistent. Reddit user KrazyBomber95 noted instances where they completed matches with the specified setup but didn’t see their kills count toward the challenge.

Finished the Black ops 6 Campaign today. I liked it. Certain parts messed with me pretty bad but it was still good. Probably worth a play if you have gamepass but not worth buying the game.

Swapped to Zombies after and had to do the same Dark Ops challenge twice. Bugs are great.

To further complicate matters, the timing couldn’t be worse. Black Ops 6’s Season 1 update launches on November 14. The season will bring new maps, weapons, and modes to both Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

Activision Needs to Get On Top Of These Problems Before Season 1

With highly anticipated features like the new Omnimovement system, the Season 1 release promises to be one of the most significant Call of Duty updates in recent years. However, with lingering issues like unreliable patch notes, players worry that similar problems will arise in Season 1.

There’s currently a glitch in Black Ops 6 that lets you see through a flash bangs if you pull up the score board.

Players agree that daily challenges should ideally add a fun, rewarding layer to the game. Challenges like no-attachment eliminations were designed to shake up the routine and encourage experimentation, but inconsistent updates make them frustrating.

With Season 1 releasing on November 14, new things are just around the corner. Fans are hoping for a response that goes beyond a simple hotfix, instead wanting assurances that Treyarch is committed to accurate and reliable updates.

This ongoing issue with patch notes is occurring at a critical time for Call of Duty, as it now enjoys an expanded player base thanks to its availability on Xbox Game Pass. For many, Game Pass has made revisiting Call of Duty a more accessible option.

But as more players pick up the game, clear and honest communication from Treyarch and Activision is more crucial than ever.
