Explore the exciting updates in Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 2, including the new map 'The Tomb' and the highly requested co-op pausing feature. Discover how these changes are set to revolutionize the undead-slaying experience.
While Warzone and Black Ops 6 multiplayer might be facing some turbulence, Zombies mode continues to thrive—and it’s about to get even better with the arrival of Season 2. From a new map to highly requested quality-of-life updates, Treyarch is delivering big for the undead-slaying community.
Season 2 Brings "The Tomb" and Game-Changing Features
Another New Map: The Tomb
Less than two months after the release of Citadelle des Morts, Treyarch is dropping The Tomb. This fresh map promises new challenges, dark secrets, and plenty of opportunities to test your survival skills against the undead horde.
Quality-of-Life Improvements
Season 2 isn’t just about new content; it’s also bringing some game-changing features to enhance the Zombies experience. Among these updates is something players have been begging for since day one: co-op pausing.
Co-op Pausing: A Game-Changer for Group Runs
Previously, only solo players had the luxury of pausing their game mid-run. In co-op matches, taking a break meant leaving your squad vulnerable or abandoning the match entirely. But with the new update, the party leader in co-op matches can now pause the game for everyone in the lobby.
Here’s how it works:
- Pause Timer: When the host pauses, the game will freeze for up to 15 minutes. After the timer runs out, the action resumes automatically.
- Regroup or Snack Breaks: This feature is perfect for regrouping on strategy or grabbing a quick snack during intense high-round runs.
Treyarch acknowledged the overwhelming demand for this feature in their 115 Day announcement, saying, “We know this one’s been requested since launch, and we’re excited to get it in with Season 2.”
Fan Reactions: Excitement and Suggestions
Celebration Across Social Media
The announcement was met with pure joy from Zombies players. Comments flooded platforms like Reddit too.
Calls for Improvement
While fans are thrilled, some players want Treyarch to take it even further by tweaking the pause timer. Suggestions include:
- Extending the timer beyond 15 minutes.
- Allowing the timer to reset every round or earn more pause time based on minutes played.
“How about they increase the pause timer time—it’s still far too short,” one player argued.
What This Means for Zombies Players
The introduction of co-op pausing marks a significant step forward for Black Ops 6 Zombies. It’s a long-requested feature that acknowledges the time and effort players put into long-running matches. While there’s room for further tweaks, this update shows that Treyarch is listening to its community and delivering changes that matter.
