Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has received a minor yet significant update shortly after the substantial Season 1 Reloaded refresh. This focused patch tackles a handful of crucial bugs specifically impacting the popular multiplayer mode, leaving Zombies and Warzone untouched.

The mid-season refresh, Season 1 Reloaded, introduced a wealth of new content, from maps and weapons to the festive CODMAS event.  However, it also inadvertently introduced some technical hiccups that this update aims to rectify.

The primary fix addresses a critical issue with skill rating (SR) forgiveness in ranked play. Previously, players experienced unfair SR drops due to teammates leaving or disconnecting mid-match. This issue has now been resolved, ensuring fairer ranking progression. While the fix is implemented, it remains unclear whether affected players will receive retroactive SR adjustments.

Two additional fixes target multiplayer UI enhancements. The first improves the functionality of the 'Best Play' feature, ensuring smooth playback and accurate UI element display at the end of matches. The second corrects missing player data and UI elements within the After Action Report (AAR) screen, providing players with complete post-match information.

While small in scope, this update addresses crucial issues affecting the multiplayer experience. The fixes enhance the competitive integrity of ranked play and improve the overall user experience by addressing UI inconsistencies.  This demonstrates Treyarch's commitment to refining the game post-launch.

With the Season 1 refresh and the accompanying CODMAS festivities in full swing, players can anticipate a polished multiplayer experience. The duration of the CODMAS event remains uncertain, but it's expected to conclude before the anticipated arrival of Season 2 in late January.  Until then, players can dive into the refined multiplayer action and anticipate further updates and content on the horizon.
