Highlighted issues in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Prop Hunt mode have sparked quite the conversation in the gaming community. Enthusiastic players have raised concerns over issues such as flashes having little impact and hunters having endless ammo. Though Prop Hunt has long been a fan favorite, this iteration might require a bit of tweaking.
Originally introduced as a community mod in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Prop Hunt eventually made its way into the official lineup with Call of Duty: WW2, gaining a loyal following. Similar to the Zombies mode, Prop Hunt’s appeal has only grown, making its way into multiple game titles over the years. The mode reappeared in Black Ops 6 amidst the major Season 1 update, which also ushered in new maps, weapons, and perks. Yet, many players feel that this version doesn’t quite stack up against its predecessors.
Issues raised on Reddit by users such as _Jaffamuncher and PC-Tamer point to significant gripes with Black Ops 6’s Prop Hunt. Problems range from ineffective flash abilities and unlimited shot capacity for hunters to a lack of penalties for mindlessly shooting at everything in sight. Furthermore, unlike modded versions, Black Ops 6 does not inflict damage on hunters shooting non-prop objects, reducing any risk or strategy in their approach.
In the community, opinions vary on whether giving hunters free rein to pepper the map is needed to uncover elusive props, or if it undermines the mode. Some argue that capping ammo might curb reckless firing. Another sore point is the flash feature, which seems buggy compared to its function in Call of Duty: WW2, where a flash gave props a crucial chance to move and hide.
With Treyarch just having introduced Prop Hunt in Black Ops 6 via the Season 1 launch, adjustments may be in the pipeline. Treyarch plans to continuously evolve the game across multiple seasons, which might include updates aimed at resolving the current Prop Hunt criticisms.
Players can expect changes as Treyarch remains committed to enhancing the Black Ops 6 experience. Whether it’s through addressing these specific issues or refining the game mode, there’s a good chance Prop Hunt will be revisited for improvements in upcoming seasons.
