Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Beta Playlist Update Adds Face Off and Two Strike Maps
The Pit map is set in a small subsection of a Russian mining tunnel that runs through a cave. The ventilation shaft running along the top of the cave lets in the only natural light in the Pit map. After spawning,Black Ops 6players may simply follow the trail of overturned mine carts to reach the center of the map. Unlike Pit, the new Gala map is set inside a building that hosted an annual fundraising event, with American flags adorning the ceiling. Gala is just as small as Pit, so players can expect intense gunfights while heading toward the lounge section in the middle of the map. With the Stakeout map from weekend one, the Pit and Gala maps round outthe eight maps included in theBlack Ops 6beta.
Another playlist update is expected during weekend two of theBlack Ops 6beta, which begins on September 4 for all platforms. Weekend two will last until September 9 and feature a Face Off version of the Kill Order mode, alongside the returning Gunfight mode.Call of Dutyfans who continue to play in weekend two may continue to progress andunlock exclusive rewards inBlack Ops 6, such as “The Redactor” weapon blueprint and the “Earning Stripes” emblem. These rewards will be available at the launch ofBlack Ops 6on October 25.
