Treyarch has unleashed a festive treat for Black Ops 6 players with the return of the highly requested Stakeout 24/7 playlist as part of the CODMAS 2024 celebrations. This fan-favorite mode coincides with the limited-time Archie's Festival Frenzy event, offering players a double dose of holiday fun and rewards.
Season 1 Reloaded is in full swing, bringing a flurry of holiday-themed events and modes to close out the year. Nuketown has received a festive makeover, transformed into a winter wonderland complete with snow and decorations. This revamped map is the perfect setting for the limited-time Ran-Snack mode, where teams compete to collect cookies and reach the score limit.
Archie's Festival Frenzy is also live, offering 12 exclusive rewards earnable by collecting Jolly Archies dropped by eliminated enemies. Collecting all the Jolly Archies unlocks the powerful new AMR Mod 4 Sniper Rifle. Stakeout 24/7 provides an excellent opportunity to accelerate progress towards these festive rewards.
The Jingle Hells LTM has also arrived as part of the CODMAS 2024 update, adding another layer of holiday cheer to the game. The December 19th playlist update reinstated Stakeout 24/7, granting players unlimited access to the popular Strike map.
Stakeout 24/7 features intense 6v6 matches across various game modes, including Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, and Domination. The close-quarters combat within the apartment complex ensures non-stop action. While the duration of Stakeout 24/7 remains uncertain, it presents a prime opportunity for efficient Jolly Archie farming and unlocking the AMR Mod 4.
The return of Stakeout 24/7 has been met with largely positive feedback, although some players have expressed hopes for a concurrent double XP weekend. Given the recent double XP event ending on December 16th, another one so soon seems unlikely. Others have suggested making Stakeout 24/7 a permanent fixture, citing its popularity in playlist voting.
With Season 1 Reloaded expected to conclude around January 28, 2025, further playlist updates are anticipated before the arrival of Season 2. While Stakeout 24/7's permanence is uncertain, its potential return in Season 2, alongside other highly requested modes, remains a possibility.
