Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Unveils New Melee-Boosting Perk
The iconic "Call of Duty: Zombies" mode is set to receive a new perk in the upcoming "Black Ops 6", adding a unique twist to the classic undead experience. Treyarch, the studio behind the beloved "Zombies" mode, has unveiled "Melee Macchiato," a perk seemingly designed to enhance players' melee combat abilities.
This new perk follows the release of "Black Ops 6," which promises a significant overhaul of the "Zombies" experience. Players will encounter a fresh cast of characters and new locations to explore. The game also marks the return of beloved features like theatre mode, allowing players to record and share gameplay clips, and the classic prestige system.
The "Melee Macchiato" perk, visually reminiscent of the energy drinks found in "Cold War" Zombies, is presented in a can adorned with a creamy-orange aesthetic and a striking red boxing glove logo. While the exact effects of this perk are yet to be revealed, its name strongly suggests a focus on buffing melee weapons and items.
This focus on melee combat represents a departure from traditional high-round strategies in "Call of Duty: Zombies," where players often discard melee weapons in favour of ranged weapons as the rounds progress. "Black Ops 6" seems poised to challenge this approach, potentially encouraging players to embrace the close-quarters combat offered by melee weapons.
Perks have been an integral part of "Call of Duty: Zombies" since the mode's second map in "World at War," and have evolved significantly over the years. While classics like Juggernog and Speed Cola remain fan favourites, "Melee Macchiato" offers a fresh and potentially game-changing addition to the perk roster.
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 6" is scheduled for release on 25 October 2024, and promises a significant expansion of the "Zombies" storyline. While details about the new characters and maps remain under wraps, Treyarch has confirmed that the game will offer a substantial amount of content for "Zombies" fans to enjoy. The introduction of "Melee Macchiato" and the potential shift in gameplay strategy suggests that "Black Ops 6" will be a significant addition to the "Call of Duty: Zombies" legacy.
