Even though Black Ops 6 just released, the game offers plenty of unique challenges to tackle. So, if you want to know what to expect, here are the available maps and modes in BO6.
All Black Ops 6 modes and playlists
You can look forward to the following modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6:
Modes | How to Play |
---|---|
Team Deathmatch | The crowd-favorite Team Deathmatch is one of the more straightforward challenges, where you must eliminate enemy Operators for more points. |
Kill Order | Kill Order is a brand-new 6v6 respawn mode introduced in Black Ops 6. Each team includes a High Value Target (HVT), a randomly selected player that must be eliminated for bonus scores. You must also guard your own HVT, as the other side will be gunning for them. |
Face Off | Similar to Team Deathmatch, but Scorestreaks are disabled. Set in smaller-sized maps. |
Domination | Capture, hold, and defend objectives to increase your scores. |
Hardpoint | Capture and hold the Hardpoint zone for as long as possible. |
Search and Destroy | Detonate or defuse bombs. Teams alternate with the restriction of no respawns. |
Control | Take turns attacking and defending zones. |
Headquarters | Capture the Headquarters and defend it. The team that holds the HQ won’t be able to respawn. |
Kill Confirmed | Collect dog tags from downed players to either earn points for your team or deny kills for the enemy. |
Free-For-All | Battle Royale-like game mode where you must be the top scorer. |
Infected | Infect enemies or survive through the match to win. |
Gunfight | Use a pre-determined weapon class to win the rounds. Respawns are disabled. |
While most of these modes have already been a part of Call of Duty, you can experience a new challenge with Kill Order. Teamwork makes the dream wor𓃲k here, where you can farm a ton of XP with HVT eliminations.
Kill Order also features a Face Off variant, turning off Scorestreaks altogether. This particular variation dives into the fast-paced Strike maps, another new addition of Black Ops 6. The 2v2 Gunfight mode should also be arriving sometime soon. This challenge ups the ante through its single-life restriction, making every second count. It’s one of the more balanced modes, as each Operator spawns in with the same exact loadout.
For even more challenges, check out Hardcore versions of these mo🅠des. Currently, the following games include this feature:
- HC Team Deathmatch
- HC Kill Order
- HC Domination
- HC Hardpoint
- HC Search and Destroy
- HC Kill Confirmed
- HC Free-For-All
- Hardcore Face Off Moshpit
- Hardcore Nuketown 24/7
Changing these modes to Hardcore places various restrictions on Operators. In particular, the HUD will be limited, and you’ll spawn in with low health. Even more so, friendly fire is enabled, so you’ll need to be mindful of your teammates.

To give you a better idea of each map, we’ll break down each of them with pictures.
Babylon
The ancient city of Babylon arrives in the Black Ops 6 world, featuring climbable columns and various hiding places. It’s a relatively small map, perfect for those who enjoy fast-paced rounds. Many players have indicated that Babylon could be perceived as the new Shipment map, where you’ll need to always be on your toes.
Scud
In the Scud battleground, you’ll have various points of interest to use, from the cover of the radar dish to the protection of the many trenches. A wide variety of weapons can be used here, both close and long-range.
Protocol
Those who participated in the Training Course may have already seen the Protocol map. There are plenty of poin📖ts of interest to explore, such as a high tower and an underground monitor center.
Red Card
Sports lovers will undoubtedly enjoy Red Card, a stadium-based map with a massive soccer field. Although you won’t be able to hop onto the field, you can still marvel at it from the house seats.
Derelict
In Derelict, you’ll explore a train graveyard in the Appalachian Mountains. Take cover inside the many trains, or get a good vantage point within its buildings.
Rewind
Since Black Ops 6 revolves around the ’90s era, you’ll get to go back in time when videotape stores were all the rage. Head to the Rewind map to check out a part of Zombies’ Liberty Falls location.
Skyline
Live a luxurious life in Skyline, an extravagant resort in the countryside. Battle around its enclosed space and discover its hidden panic ro♑om underneath.
Lowtown
Swim in the canals of Lowtown and rise from the waters to unleash a surprise attack on the enemy. Jump on top of the boats there to reach multiple buꦰildings, including a boat house, an art gallery, and a pizzeri𝓀a.
Payback
The Safehouse in Black Ops 6’s Campaign becomes a highly intenꦦse battleground in Multiplayer. Enter the main house fo෴r some close-quarters combat, or walk around the side of it for long-range showdowns.
Subsonic
Explore a hanger and bomber team training facilit🥀y on the small Subsonic map. Take cover in multiple aircraft or large craters to diversify your offensive strategies.
Vault
Vault takes you to a desert landscape decorated w🌌ith monuments and sculptures. Jump down below to find the broken-in vault, o🐷r use the diving board to gain some extra flight.
Vorkuta
The aftermath of a storm coats snow around the Vorkuta map. This once Soviet labor camp has now turned into a miဣning facility, riddled with many hiding spots.
Nuketown
The beloved Nuketown returns in Black Ops 6, showcasing a modern design for the town’s 1950s style. The map is practically identical to the original, instilling some nostalgia for Black Ops fans. Nuketown also includes Hardcore and 24/7ꦰ modes for those who want to experience all of its wonders.
Stakeout
Stakeout primarily centers around the inside of a building deep in the Mediterranean region. You won’t have many places to hide here, so prepare for a fast-paced battle.
Gala
It’s time to go into the heart of Washington, D.C., with the Gala 6v6 map. Like Stakeout, you won’t have many hiding spots, but you can always take cover near the bar and campaign stand.
Pit
While most Black Ops 6 maps generally take place outside, the Pit is �𝓀�one of the few that goes underground. Look out for some ladders in this mining tunnel to get a nice vantage point.
Warhead
The desolated Nuketown neighborhood, Warhead, is one of the smallest maps in Black Ops 6. You’ll have very few places to take cover, resulting in numerous close-quarters fights.
