All BO6 and Warzone Squid Game modes

Squid Game has taken over various modes in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. Here are the five modes you can look forward to:

Squid Game ModesAvailable OnDescription
Red Light, Green Light BO6 MultiplayerVenture to Red Card stadium and participate in Squid Game’s notorious Red Light, Green Light game. When the statue Young-hee shouts out, “Green Light,” it’s time to move on up. But, when she lets out a “Red Light,” make sure to stay in place.
Pentathlon BO6 MultiplayerEmbark on a series of Multiplayer modes, including Domination, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch, and Roulette.
Squid Game MoshpitBO6 MultiplayerParticipate in TDM, Domination, and Hardpoint to earn unique Squid Game buffs.
Dead Light, Green LightBO6 Zombies (Liberty Falls and Citadelle des Morts)Green Light rounds offer you extra Essence, while Red Light phases decrease your money intake. Watch out for the Dead Light round, triggering a formidable showdown.
Squid GameWarzone’s UrzikstanA rotating series of challenges occur in Warzone, where the team with the least amount of points will eliminated by the end of each round. Red Light, Green Light games may also trigger.

The Red Light, Green Light limited-time mode truly makes you feel like you’re a part of the Squid Game. However, since it is a Call of Duty take on it, there’s a twist. By Rounds 2 and 3, you can equip weapons, use melee attacks, and initiate Finishing Moves. So, even if you stay still, you must watch out for the other player’s attacks to avoid Young-hee’s deadly gaze.

As for Pentathlon, you’ll get the chance to venture into two new mode variants with Piggy Bank TDM and Roulette. Eliminations in the latest TDM increase your score with the Mega Piggy Bank, giving your team a major payout. Roulette works similarly, but you must get one-shot kills with the Roulette Handgun to double your points. This gun comes at a cost, though, as it can blow up depending on your luck.

There’s also a general Squid Game playlist through the limited-time moshpit. Earn the following buffs in this mode:

  • Roulette Handgun: Like the Pentathlon, you can earn a handgun capable of one-shot kills. While wielding it, it’ll activate a permanent UAV effect to scope out the competition around you. The only problem is that your location will be shown to everyone. Oh, and you may or may not blow up when holding it in your hands.
  • Piggy Bank: Piggy Bank rewards may drop from downed Operators. Collect enough points for the Mega Piggy Bank for more gifts.
  • Red Light, Green Light Scorestreaks: All enemy Operators stop moving temporarily.

The Red Light, Green Light Scorestreak is an exceptional asset to your arsenal, given that it is one of the first buffs that stops enemies in their tracks. On the other hand, it may only be available during the Squid Game event, so the scorestreak will likely be removed afterward. Remember that the content here is accessible for a limited time, including the SG features for Warzone and Black Ops 6 Zombies.
