All available maps and modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

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:

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 work 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 modes. 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.

All Black Ops 6 maps

Black Ops 6’s maps are split into Core and Strike categories. Core locations encompass Call of Duty’s standardized 6v6 maps, which typically range from small to medium sizes. Strike maps are much more compact, catering to Face Off’s 6v6 or 2v2 matches. Plus, there’s an additional Training Grounds area for those who need to practice.

At the time of writing, these are the available maps in Black Ops 6, with others expected to come in future updates.

• Core Maps:
  • Skyline
  • Rewind
  • Derelict
  • Babylon
  • Scud
  • Lowtown
  • Payback
  • Protocol
  • Red Card
  • Subsonic
  • Vault
  • Vorkuta
  • Nuketown
• Strike Maps:
  • Gala
  • Pit
  • Stakeout
  • Warhead

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 points 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 room 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 buildings, including a boat house, an art gallery, and a pizzeria.

Payback

The Safehouse in Black Ops 6’s Campaign becomes a highly intense battleground in Multiplayer. Enter the main house for some close-quarters combat, or walk around the side of it for long-range showdowns.

Subsonic

Explore a hanger and bomber team training facility 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 with monuments and sculptures. Jump down below to find the broken-in vault, or 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 mining 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 24/7 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 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.
