New Perk for Black Ops 6 Zombies’ Season 1 Feels Predictable

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 jumped into action immediately, with its first season of content rolling out just weeks after the game’s debut. This initial season has brought players a mix of fresh additions, including new multiplayer maps, modes, and an expansion for Call of Duty: Warzone. Notably, unlike Modern Warfare 3 from last year, Black Ops 6’s first season pays attention to its beloved Zombies mode.

Among the highlights of Season 1 is the introduction of Directed Mode to Zombies. This feature offers newcomers a more structured way to navigate the main Easter eggs in the Terminus and Liberty Falls maps. As we approach the mid-season update, there’s anticipation for a wave of new content, like the intriguing Citadelle des Morts map, a new Wonder Weapon, and an entirely new enemy type to tackle. Moreover, if you check out the official Season 1 roadmap, Black Ops 6 promises another “Perk-a-Cola” addition to Zombies. The way it’s phrased suggests the return of a classic perk rather than a new introduction, and there are some familiar favorites that could make a comeback.

In recent weeks, several leaks have hinted at what the next Perk in the Zombies mode might be. While these leaks should be taken with caution—since they could simply be content cut from the launch—there’s some buzz around five possible contenders, including Vulture Aid, Double Tap, Mule Kick, Death Perception, and Tombstone.

Vulture Aid, first seen in Black Ops 2, has made only a single appearance in a Zombies map, despite its handy abilities. It allowed players to see essential elements like wall weapons and the Mystery Box through walls and gather small ammo pouches from defeated zombies along with bonus points. Double Tap was once a staple, known for boosting a player’s rate of fire and, in later versions, doubling weapon damage by firing two rounds for the price of one. Mule Kick, another staple, gives players the advantage of carrying a third weapon.

On the other hand, Death Perception is considered one of the weaker perks, offering only the ability to see zombies through walls. Tombstone, though controversial, is undoubtedly more practical, enabling players to reclaim their perks and weapons after dying.

There’s excitement around which perk will feature in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 1. While fans would love to see Vulture Aid’s glorious return, Double Tap and Mule Kick might prove to be more versatile choices for the new season.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, developed by Treyarch and Raven, is set against the dynamic backdrop of the early 90s—a time of great political change. This spy thriller immerses players in a story filled with deception and high stakes, capturing the signature essence of Black Ops.

The campaign in Black Ops 6 delivers adrenaline-pumping gameplay, offering vast play spaces and blockbuster moments, from major heists to covert spy missions. Alongside, the multiplayer experience spans 16 new maps, including core maps for various modes and the return of Round-Based Zombies, thrilling players with new undead hordes.

Released on October 25, 2024, Black Ops 6 is available for various platforms, supporting online multiplayer and cross-platform play. With its array of features, from split-screen options to cross-save capabilities, Black Ops 6 continues to entertain and engage players globally.
