Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Patch Notes for October 26: XP Gain Adjustments, Map Corrections & Additional Updates

Activision is rolling out a swift update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 shortly after its launch to rectify bugs that significantly affected gameplay, including fixes for map exploits and XP accumulation. While many bug-fix patches tend to have a minimal effect, this particular one promises substantial improvements.

The debut of Black Ops 6 has been extremely successful, as evidenced by the high player engagement and relatively few server issues and severe gameplay bugs. Nonetheless, some glitches remain, which Treyarch plans to resolve with the upcoming patch on October 26.

This patch will not include any changes to weapon balance or nerfs to overpowered builds like the SVD, but there are still many enhancements and fixes coming. Below are the detailed patch notes for BO6 on October 26:
