Other players reveal they have experienced similar bugs, both in multiplayer and Zombies.

A bizarre and somewhat overpowered bug has allowed a Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player to jump into a multiplayer match with three weapons equipped, two of which were primary weapons. While fans are loving Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the latest shooter in the series has had its fair share of bugs since launch, with the latest leaving the community baffled.

Like many shooters in the live-service space, weapon balancing and continued adjustments are a top priority for developers to keep online matches on an even playing field. Thankfully, Treyarch Studios has already released multiple updates for Black Ops 6 since its release, squashing plenty of bugs and nerfing some overpowered weapons. While the game still has a few issues to be ironed out, such as in-game voice chat not working as intended, Season 1 is set to launch on November 14 and will hopefully bring a plethora of improvements along with it.

Recent Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Update Patch Notes Lied

There’s a constant wave of new content coming to Black Ops 6 that keeps players hyped, but some fans caught an inaccuracy in the patch notes.

Black Ops 6 Bug Gives Player Three Weapons

Since its launch on October 25, players have seen a wide variety of bizarre Black Ops 6 bugs and glitches, but many have never seen one quite like this. Over on Reddit, user MikeTheMuton posted a screenshot of their custom loadout with two AK-74 assault rifles equipped, as well as a 9MM PM pistol. They noted that they had no idea how the bug had occurred, which seemingly replaced the dedicated melee slot with a second AK-74, but that it also allowed them to take the loadout in-game and use both assault rifles. Many joked that the player had unlocked the popular Zombies perk, Mule Kick, early.

Although this bug is one of the game’s rarer ones, this isn’t the first time a user has experienced a similar glitch. In response to the post, one user noted that the same thing happened to them in a multiplayer match, but with two baseball bats as opposed to two assault rifles. Another player also chimed in to say that they’ve had something similar occur in the shooter’s Zombies mode. While Call of Duty Zombies players can usually make use of the Mule Kick perk to equip three weapons, it is not currently one of Black Ops 6 Zombies’ available perks.

While fans found this specific bug to be somewhat entertaining, there have been plenty of frustrating glitches related to Black Ops 6‘s Gunsmith. Earlier this month, Treyarch deployed a new update that fixed a variety of issues, but unfortunately introduced a new bug that was removing players’ Optics from their weapons. Thankfully, the studio was quick to fix the issue and released a new hotfix update just a few hours later.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
