Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Developer Working on New Feature to Track Challenges

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is getting a much-requested feature: in-game challenge tracking. Treyarch Studios confirmed they're developing this functionality, absent from the game's launch but present in 2023's Modern Warfare 3.

While a release date remains unannounced, the upcoming Season 2 update later this month hints at a potential near-term arrival. This news follows a January 9th patch addressing various Multiplayer and Zombies bugs, including UI and audio fixes, and a buff to Red Light, Green Light XP gains. Significantly, Treyarch also reversed a controversial Zombies change from January 3rd, restoring the original round timing and zombie spawn mechanics in Directed Mode after community feedback.

Challenge Tracking on the Way

Treyarch's Twitter response to a fan inquiry confirmed the challenge tracking feature is "currently in the works." The absence of this popular Modern Warfare 3 feature in Black Ops 6 had drawn considerable criticism, especially given both games' integration with the Call of Duty HQ app.

This addition will greatly benefit players pursuing Mastery camos, allowing real-time challenge progress tracking within the game's UI, similar to Modern Warfare 3's implementation. Players will be able to select a challenge (like a headshot camo) and monitor their progress without leaving the match.

More Improvements Incoming

In another Twitter interaction, Treyarch confirmed they're also developing separate HUD settings for Multiplayer and Zombies, addressing player requests for mode-specific customization. Both the challenge tracking and separate HUD features are currently under development.
