Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Gets Third Open Beta Update

This trend has now continued on September 8, when the developer pushed out yet anotherCall of Duty:Black Ops 6beta update, its third such patch since September 6. One of the highlights of this release is a new map, Stakeout, which can be accessed via the Gunfight Strike playlist. Gunfight can now also be played on the previously debuted Gala map.

Black Ops 6 Open Beta Is Concluding With Double XP Event

The newly launched update also adds Kill Confirmed to the availableBlack Ops 6Face Off modes, which were originally introduced during the beta’s early access phase on September 2. The arrival of this patch also marked the start of a double XP event, which officially kicked off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 7pm CET. Seeing how the open beta will conclude on September 9, this promo is likely to run until its very end, although Treyarch hasn’t explicitly confirmed this. Ditto for the ongoing double Weapon XP event, which started on September 7 and remains live as of the following day.

Although theBlack Ops 6open beta offers some rewardsto its participants, one’s level and weapon progression will not carry over to the full game. These double XP events that are currently running in parallel are hence exclusively geared toward speeding up the game’s progression curve for testing purposes rather than offering players meaningful opportunities for cost-effective grinding. One final change introduced with the September 8 update concerns server-side stability, which Treyarch said has been improved, albeit without providing any further details on the matter.
