Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Launches Oct 2024 with Controversial 'Last Stand' Return
October 19, 2024Field upgrades in Call of Duty are earned through player performance and can be strategically used for both offensive and defensive play.
Additionally, Black Ops 6 will be available on Microsoft's Game Pass from launch day, increasing its accessibility to a wider audience.
Set against a backdrop of pivotal global political changes in the early 1990s, Black Ops 6 features a spy action thriller narrative.
The Last Stand perk was originally removed from multiplayer due to negative reception, leading to widespread dissatisfaction with its return.
Treyarch has been providing daily updates about Black Ops 6, detailing the game's weapons, perks, and equipment leading up to its release.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to launch on October 25, 2024, and will feature a campaign, multiplayer mode, and the signature Zombies mode.
The game promises a robust multiplayer experience with 16 new maps and the return of the Round-Based Zombies mode, including two new maps available at launch.
Treyarch has confirmed the return of the controversial Last Stand perk, now rebranded as the Morphine Injector field upgrade.
The Morphine Injector allows players to enter a Last Stand state upon receiving fatal damage, where they can be revived by teammates or self-revive by getting a kill.
To unlock the Morphine Injector, players must reach Player Level 44, making it a significant milestone in gameplay.
User feedback on platforms like Reddit indicates that many fans are hoping for limitations on the use of the Morphine Injector during matches.
Treyarch is facing criticism for reintroducing this feature, especially after the negative feedback surrounding another controversial field upgrade called 'Sleeper Agent' during beta testing.
