Black Ops 6 Zombies players baffled by Season 2 Reloaded going live with known bugs

Glitches usually prop up after updates, but Black Ops 6 Zombies players are disappointed that Season 2 Reloaded launched with known issues.

The latest mid-season update is live and introduces a few exciting additions to Zombies. Most notably, Directed Mode for the Tomb provides casual and first-time players with a walkthrough of the main story quest.

This game mode is perfect for players who want to complete the quest without the hassle of being overwhelmed by enemies. Meanwhile, Cowabunga Cranked is a new limited-time mode that forces players to eliminate zombies quickly before a timer expires and blows you up.

Players also have access to TMNT-inspired power-ups that help make surviving easier. The update also rolled out a long list of bug fixes and a few new issues that frustrated fans.

Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 2 Reloaded suffers rocky launch

Activision

Activision admitted, “Due to a platform issue, Season 02 Reloaded is launching with some known issues that will be addressed in an update to follow soon.”

These are the two known issues.

• Players may encounter a crash when attempting to pause a Zombies match.
• Citadelle des Morts Oil Trap kills will temporarily no longer count as critical kills for the currently held weapon. (This will be rolled back to pre-S02 Reloaded behavior shortly)

Even if the devs respond quickly, some players are confused about why the devs wouldn’t delay the update if these issues were already known.

“Sorry, but that crash when pausing issue should never be released known about,” one player responded.

“Why would you not instead delay the update, fix the issue, retest, and then deploy it,” a second commenter asked. “I’m Genuinely asking. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t?”

That wasn’t the only pre-launch problem. Ahead of the Warzone update going live, Raven Software revealed that players would no longer be able to re-use loadout drops. After overwhelming negative feedback, that change was rescinded within hours.
