Kills Order mode is brand new for Black Ops 6.
It combines objective and slayer modes. Each team gets a high-value target (HVT) they need to protect while trying to eliminate the enemy’s HVT. Points are scored through eliminations, but extra points come from an HVT getting kills or being taken out by your team.
When you’re chosen as an HVT, you get cool bonuses like extra armor and mini-map indicators showing enemy positions.
Black Ops is also bringing back some classic gameplay elements. Objective zones return in Domination, and Hardpoint now has easy-to-see objective icons for better team coordination.
People really love seeing their favorite maps return.
The developers hinted that more beloved maps from past games will come back in future updates. “There are certain maps that there just wouldn’t be a Black Ops game without.”
Make sure to check out how to join the beta, along with start dates and preloading details.
