Call of Duty has a history of mannequin-based Easter eggs, but this latest effort added to Black Ops 6 with the launch of Season 1 may be one of the best yet. Warning! Spoilers for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Nuketown Easter egg follow.
With Season 1 live now (via a mammoth 40GB update), Black Ops 6 players are getting to grips with the new Multiplayer maps and weapons.
What they didn’t expect (and developer Treyarch kept this one quiet!) was an Easter egg for the hugely popular Nuketown map.First, some background if you’re unfamiliar with Nuketown.
This long-running Multiplayer map is set in a Nevada nuclear test town. Call of Duty games over the years have added new twists to the map, but the layout and flow remains largely the same: perfectly balanced cover that makes for rinse and repeat close quarters six versus six combat.On to Black Ops 6 and this newly discovered Easter egg.
Players have found that if they shoot all the heads off the mannequins in the map, the screen switches to a Fallout-style ‘signal lost, stand by’ message.
