Despite being a limited version, the Black Ops 6 beta offers plenty of unique challenges to tackle during Weekends One and Two. So, if you want to know what to expect, here are the available maps and modes during BO6's Open Beta period. All Black Ops 6 beta modes Black Ops 6's beta begins with Weekend One on Aug. 30, 2024. You can look forward to the following playable modes: Modes How to play Kill Order Kill Order is a brand-new 6v6 respawn mode introduced in Black Ops 6. Each team includes a High Value Target (HVT), a randomly selected player that must be eliminated for bonus scores. You must also guard your own HVT, as the other side will be gunning for them. Team Deathmatch The crowd-favorite Team Deathmatch is one of the more straightforward challenges, where you must eliminate enemy Operators for more points. Domination Capture, hold, and defend objectives to increase your scores. Hardpoint Capture and hold the Hardpoint zone for as long as possible. Face Off Similar to Team Deathmatch, but Scorestreaks are disabled. Gunfight 2v2 mode with no respawns and a pre-determined Loadout that's randomized. Eliminate the opposing side or hold the capture zone to win. While most modes are already a part of Call of Duty, you can experience a new challenge with Kill Order. Teamwork makes the dream work here, where you can farm a ton of XP with HVT eliminations. Image via Activision Kill Order also features a Face Off variant, turning off Scorestreaks altogether. This particular variation dives into the fast-paced Strike maps, another new addition of Black Ops 6. All Black Ops 6 beta maps The maps in Black Ops 6 beta are split into Core and Strike categories. Core locations encompass Call of Duty's standardized 6v6 maps, which typically range from small to medium sizes. Image via Activision Strike maps are much more compact, catering to Face Off's 6v6 or 2v2 matches. There's also an additional Training Grounds area for those who need to practice. For a quick overview, here's a list of confirmed maps in Black Ops 6 beta: Core Maps: Babylon Derelict Rewind Scud Skyline Strike Maps: Gala Pit Stakeout Training Map: Protocol To give you a better idea of each map, we'll break down each of them with pictures. Protocol Image via Activision Start your journey with the Protocol map, a perfect place to test out BO6's newest features without the pressure of other players. Equip one of the new Operators and participate in training missions to master the new Omnimovement. Babylon Image via Activision The ancient city of Babylon comes to Call of Duty, featuring climbable columns and various hiding places. It's a relatively small map, perfect for those who enjoy fast-paced rounds. Derelict Image via Activision In Derelict, you'll explore a train graveyard in the Appalachian Mountains. Take cover inside the many trains, or get a good vantage point within its buildings. Rewind Image via Activision Since Black Ops 6 revolves around the '90s era, you'll get to go back in time when videotape stores were all the rage. Head to the Rewind map to check out a part of Zombies' Liberty Falls location. Scud Image via Activision Scud is a desolated military outpost that has suffered a catastrophic attack. Sniper wielders will thrive here using the wide range near the radar dish. Skyline Image via Activision Live a luxurious life in Skyline, an extravagant resort in the countryside. Battle around its enclosed space and discover its hidden panic room underneath. Gala Image via Activision It's time to go into the heart of Washington, D.C., with the Gala 6v6 map. You won't have many hiding places, but you can always take cover near the bar and campaign stand. Pit Image via Activision While the Black Ops 6 beta maps generally take place outside, the Pit is one of the few that goes deep underground. Look out for some ladders in this mining tunnel to get a nice vantage point. Stakeout Image via Activision Unlike Skyline, Stakeout is much more compact in its small-scale apartment. Eliminate enemies in this Mediterranean-based location, showcasing modes like Face Off. The map and mode lineup will change with Black Ops 6 Open Beta Weekend Two, set for Sept. 6. I'll update this article once it drops to keep you up to speed. The post All available maps and modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta appeared first on Destructoid.
