Summary
Fans can finally get major first-hand insight into the core multiplayer experience ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, with the official Open Beta for the shooter launching on September 6. Players will be able to get to grips with a wide variety of multiplayer content over the course of the weekend, with fresh maps and game modes being just one exciting aspect of the upcoming event.
Some fans recently had access to the Closed Beta forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, which gave players a brief but engaging range of content to test the waters of the core gameplay experience that the upcoming title will bring. Of course, the Open Beta for the game will allow a much larger catchment of fans to get their hands on the game, and even those who recently experienced the Closed Beta will be surprised by the amount of extra content that is being implemented forBlack Ops 6’s second and final beta weekend.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Open Beta Will Launch With a Bang
The Open Beta forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6is set to launch worldwide on September 6, running until September 9. Unlike the recent Closed Beta, which required a pre-order oractive Xbox Games Pass membership to access, the Open Beta will be freely available to all players, and Treyarch is clearly going all out to try and convince as many of these prospective players to purchase the full game when it launches on October 25.
Firstly, the Closed Beta forBlack Ops 6allowed Treyarch to identify any performance issues as well as balancing concerns for things like perks and weapons. Players should expect some serious optimization improvements in the upcoming Open Beta as a result of this, as well as nerfs to certain weapons, with theJackal PDW SMG being one of the most obvious contenders for a balancing downgrade.
Away from this, it has been confirmed that theBlack Ops 6Open Beta will include two new maps in the way of Babylon and Stakeout. Babylon will be a core 6v6 map, reportedly being one of the smallest maps in the game, while Stakeout is another 6v6 Strike Map that has a compact size. The introduction of these smaller maps is likely to make way forthe introduction of Gunfight to theBlack Ops 6Open Beta, a tense and tactical 2v2 mode that has grown to become one of the most popular elements of modernCall of Duty.
Players Will Have New Weapons and Perks Alongside the New Maps of Black Ops 6’s Open Beta
In terms of player customization, theOpen Beta forBlack Ops 6will introduce a new SMGas well as a handful of new perks, with the Ninja perk being one confirmed addition that will attract the attention of players. Of course, the Open Beta will also add to the player rewards system of the first Beta weekend, upping the level cap from 20 to 30 and adding a slew of unlocks for players to work towards.
The Open Beta will allow players to unlock things like weapon blueprints, loading screen customization, operator skins, and animated calling cards, giving players a lot to focus on over the course of the weekend. Whilethe recent Closed Beta forBlack Ops 6generated a lot of positive feedback, it is clear that the Open Beta and its improved gameplay variety is hoping to make a definitive lasting impression before the full release of the title in October.
