Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 brought some big news for fans: the Dark Matter camo, one of the game's biggest challenges, is now more accessible. With the introduction of new weapons and tweaks to the challenges, the update promises a less tedious experience for players.
Dark Matter, known for its complexity, requires specific goals to be met for each available weapon. Now, with the season's new features, this process has been significantly simplified.
New weapons expand player options in Black Ops 6
Before the update, unlocking Dark Matter involved rigorous challenges, such as headshots and ranged kills with 33 weapons, including melee batons. For many players, these requirements were a demotivating obstacle.
Season 1 introduced additional weapons, such as assault rifles, SMGs, and shotguns. These options allow players to focus their efforts on loadouts that match their playstyle, eliminating the need for melee weapons.
This made progress towards achieving camouflage more fluid, keeping the game competitive but reducing the feeling of excessive grinding.
Another important new feature is the return of Prestige mode, which allows you to reset your rank progress in exchange for exclusive rewards. This system provides an extra incentive for veteran players seeking new challenges and customizations.
Furthermore, the expanded arsenal available for Dark Matter directly responds to community demand. With over 33 weapons available, players can avoid difficult weaponry, such as snipers, and explore more practical alternatives.
This strategy aims to keep the fanbase engaged by offering greater variety and flexibility in unlocking camouflages.
Expectations for future updates
The trend of making Dark Matter easier to access is expected to continue in future seasons. With each new update, the game promises to include more weapons, allowing players even more options to achieve their objective.
However, the progress made in Black Ops 6 is unlikely to be transferred to future games, such as the expected Black Ops 2 in 2025. The franchise has already adopted this practice in previous titles.
With the changes introduced in Season 1, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 reaffirms its commitment to continuous evolution. These new features make the game more accessible for beginners while maintaining challenges for more experienced players.
If Dark Matter is your goal, now is the perfect time to earn this coveted camo.
