Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are urging caution regarding in-game purchases, specifically the IDEAD bundle. The bundle's intense visual effects, while visually appealing, severely hinder gameplay, making aiming difficult and putting players at a disadvantage against those using standard weapons. Activision's refusal to offer refunds, citing the effects as "working as intended," has fueled player frustration.
This latest controversy adds to the growing concerns surrounding Black Ops 6. The game's live service model, a rampant cheating problem in ranked mode, and the replacement of original Zombies voice actors have already drawn significant criticism. While core gameplay remains strong, these issues are impacting player experience and perception of the title.
A Reddit user, Fat_Stacks10, highlighted the problem using the firing range. The IDEAD bundle's post-firing effects – including fire and lightning – are so overwhelming they obstruct vision, rendering the weapon practically unusable in actual matches. This underscores a broader player concern: some "premium" weapons are inferior to their standard counterparts due to excessive visual effects.
Black Ops 6 is currently in Season 1, which introduced new maps, weapons, and bundles, including the new Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts. However, the ongoing issues, coupled with the IDEAD bundle controversy, cast a shadow over the game's otherwise positive Season 1 content. Season 1 is scheduled to conclude on January 28th, with Season 2 expected to launch soon after.
