Players of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are reporting a frustrating new bug that's turning them into glowing green targets. This visual glitch, seemingly linked to the Holiday Nuketown map, creates a bright aura around affected players, making them highly visible to the enemy team.
While glitches are somewhat expected in frequently updated games like Black Ops 6, this particular issue is drawing significant criticism due to its impact on gameplay. The glowing aura effectively negates any stealth advantage, turning players into easy prey and potentially punishing skilled players.
The prominence of brightly colored cosmetics in Call of Duty has been a point of contention among players, with some arguing that they detract from the tactical nature of the game. This new bug exacerbates this issue by forcing unwanted visibility upon players, regardless of their chosen skin or playstyle.
Nuketown has become a cornerstone of the Call of Duty franchise, renowned for its fast-paced action and distinctive atmosphere. Its compact layout and chaotic nature have cemented its place as a fan-favorite map.
A screenshot shared on Reddit by user Plastic-Pickle-2683 clearly illustrates the green glow bug. Reports suggest the bug is triggered after a player achieves First Blood on the Holiday Nuketown map, potentially linked to the most recent game update. The bug’s impact extends beyond mere cosmetic issues; it presents a clear tactical disadvantage, rendering stealth strategies virtually impossible.
The bright green aura is not only visually distracting but also creates a significant gameplay imbalance. Players who rely on stealth or prefer to avoid the spotlight are at a severe disadvantage. While some reports suggest this issue is specific to Black Ops 6's Nuketown map in both multiplayer and Zombies modes, others claim to have experienced similar glitches dating back to Modern Warfare (2019), suggesting a potentially deeper problem within the Call of Duty engine.
Fortunately, the bug appears to be confined to the Nuketown map. While this is undoubtedly disappointing for fans of the map, especially during the Holiday Nuketown 24/7 playlist, exploring other maps offers a temporary reprieve from the frustrating glow.
