The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 community is buzzing with feedback about the Prop Hunt game mode, especially because of some bothersome issues like players being unaffected by flashbangs and hunters having unlimited ammo. Known for its loyal fanbase, Prop Hunt has held a special place in the franchise for a while now, but it’s facing some challenges in this latest installment.
Prop Hunt made its debut as a community mod in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and has since been officially included in games like Call of Duty: WW2 and other subsequent releases. Much like the popular Zombies mode, Prop Hunt has gained a dedicated following over the years. It was reintroduced to Black Ops 6 as part of the expansive Season 1 update, which also brought along a slew of new weapons, maps, and perks. Despite the excitement, not everyone is thrilled with how this version of Prop Hunt plays out.
On Reddit, players like _Jaffamuncher and PC-Tamer have been vocal about their dissatisfaction. _Jaffamuncher pointed out several issues with the current Prop Hunt, mentioning that there’s no flash damage and hunters have infinite ammunition, which leads to random shooting without consequences. They also noted the lack of a Best Play moment for the last remaining prop, adding to the community’s frustration. PC-Tamer chimed in, highlighting that even modded versions of Prop Hunt penalize hunters for shooting random objects by inflicting HP damage, which means they need to choose their shots wisely or risk elimination.
For some players, the ability for hunters to shoot indiscriminately is necessary to uncover those cleverly concealed props. However, others view this as a significant flaw, sparking a conversation about whether limiting hunters’ ammunition might actually enhance the mode. The problem with the flash mechanic is a frequent complaint, possibly due to a bug in Black Ops 6. Traditionally, when a prop uses a flash, they should be able to swiftly relocate and hide while hunters are left temporarily blinded. Unfortunately, this feature isn’t functioning as expected, unlike in previous installations such as Call of Duty: WW2.
Considering Treyarch’s addition of Prop Hunt with Season 1 of Black Ops 6 and the ongoing updates planned for future seasons, there’s hope that they’ll tweak and improve this game mode based on community input. Fans can look forward to potential patches aimed at addressing these concerns and improving the Prop Hunt experience.
Black Ops 6 extends beyond Prop Hunt with its intriguing campaign narrative set during the transformative early 90s period, a mixture of espionage and action that is signature for the Black Ops series. With new maps and the return of the beloved Zombies mode, the game promises a wide array of experiences for players to dive into. The game, released on October 25, 2024, offers dynamic gameplay across various platforms and is optimized for online multiplayer, ensuring a thrilling and comprehensive gaming journey.
