Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has just rolled out an exciting crossover with Netflix’s Squid Game 2, introducing a range of new limited-time modes (LTMs) to enhance the shooter’s gameplay. Accompanying these modes are several new operator skins for multiplayer and Warzone, along with a specific Event Pass that works similarly to a typical Battle Pass. While some players are disappointed by the addition of another paid Battle Pass linked to this event, there are enough free modes to explore without needing to purchase the Event Pass.
Spanning multiplayer, zombies, and Warzone, Black Ops 6 features five new Squid Game-themed limited-time modes. These modes draw inspiration from the various games seen in Squid Game and Squid Game 2, with some capturing the essence of the original show more effectively than others. The integration of Squid Game content in Warzone is particularly appealing, as it allows players who don’t own Black Ops 6 to take part in the crossover experience.
How to Play Red Light, Green Light in Black Ops 6
Red Light, Green Light is the Most Authentic Squid Game Mode
The Red Light, Green Light mode in Call of Duty is accessible through Black Ops 6 multiplayer. This crossover stands out as the closest adaptation to the original series. Players are positioned on a stadium map with the goal of reaching the opposite side. A display on the right side indicates whether it’s a green light or red light. If players move during a red light, they face instant elimination, removing them from the game entirely. Players must complete three rounds to have a shot at victory.
In contrast to typical Call of Duty gameplay, Red Light, Green Light is experienced from a third-person perspective, providing a broader view of the battlefield and positioning relative to competitors. To score more points, players must reach the finish line faster than their opponents. Throughout the field, collectibles can be picked up for extra points and rewards, but players must cross the finish line within two minutes to advance to the next round.
What is the BO6 Pentathlon LTM?
Multiple Rotating Game Modes
The Pentathlon mode in Black Ops 6 offers a rotating selection of game modes, such as Kill Confirmed. The Squid Game 2 crossover introduces two new modes to the lineup, namely Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch and Roulette. These modes retain the essence of traditional Call of Duty gameplay while adding a touch of Squid Game flair. Players who prefer a less drastic shift away from typical CoD mechanics may find these modes more enjoyable than Red Light, Green Light.
The Roulette mode features a special Roulette Handgun, allowing players to eliminate any opponent in one shot for double points. However, pulling the trigger also carries the risk of backfiring, potentially eliminating the shooter instead.
Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch begins as a standard team deathmatch, but with each elimination, it contributes to a Mega Piggy Bank payout. At a designated time, the Mega Piggy Bank appears on the map, prompting teams to battle for control to earn additional points, increasing the competitive edge of the match.
Squid Game Moshpit Explained
Moshpit with a Twist
The Squid Game Moshpit is largely similar to regular Moshpit modes but incorporates elements from the new Pentathlon modes. In Moshpit games, a Roulette Handgun will randomly drop on the map, functioning as in the Roulette mode, while also granting its user a permanent UAV. Players who are eliminated may drop a Piggy Bank that offers bonus points, and the Mega Piggy Bank will spawn like in the Piggy Bank mode.
The Moshpit also takes cues from the Red Light, Green Light mode by introducing a new scorestreak. The Red Light, Green Light scorestreak compels all enemy players to halt their movements, thereby introducing a high-stakes scenario where any infraction could lead to elimination.
Dead Light, Green Light Zombies Mode
New, Brutal Rules for Zombies
Dead Light, Green Light operates like standard Call of Duty Zombies gameplay, but each match is divided into three distinct segments. During the Green Light phase, players earn extra Essence for each zombie they take down. However, during the Red Light phase, moving causes stored Essence to gradually deplete, necessitating careful timing and resource management.
The final phase, Dead Light, introduces tougher enemies, making it even more critical for players to maximize their earning potential during Green Light, as falling behind can have severe consequences when Dead Light arrives. This creates an engaging new dynamic for Zombies, keeping the gameplay fresh for veterans of the base mode.
Squid Game in Warzone
A New Challenge in Warzone
Squid Game in Warzone does not aim to replicate any specific challenge from the show but instead offers a spiritual adaptation. Throughout a match, squads participate in various challenges, with the worst-performing teams getting eliminated, resulting in high-stakes mini-games.
At intervals, a Red Light, Green Light challenge may be triggered, forcing all players to freeze or risk elimination. These additions add a new layer of tension to traditional Call of Duty Warzone matches, enhancing gameplay and providing fresh experiences even for those who prefer a more cautious approach.
This revised content maintains the essence of the original material while presenting it in a unique and engaging manner.
