paid Battle attached to this event, there are enough free game modes to enjoy without having to buy into the Event .

Including multiplayer, zombies, and Warzone, Black Ops 6 has five new Squid-Game-themed limited-time modes. These modes are inspired by the many games from Squid Game and Squid Game 2, some emulating the source material better than others. The inclusion of Squid Game content in Warzone is a nice addition, as it allows players who don’t own Black Ops 6 to still enjoy the crossover.

How To Play Red Light, Green Light In Black Ops 6

Red Light, Green Light Is The Most Faithful Squid Game Mode

Call of Duty’s Red Light, Green Light mode is available in Black Ops 6 multiplayer. Of all the Squid Game crossovers, this one is probably the most faithful to the original show. Players are lined up on a stadium map and are tasked with getting to the other side. The right side of the screen shows whether it is currently a green light or a red light. If players move during a red light, they will be instantly killed, which eliminates them from the game. There are three total rounds players need to complete to have a chance at winning.

Call Of Duty: Warzone: The Best Settings To Play On PC

Call of Duty: Warzone is playable on a wide range of PCs, but the settings you’re able to play with depend on specs. Here’s how to get a steady FPS.

Unlike a typical Call of Duty mode, Red Light, Green Light is played from a third-person perspective. This helps you get a wider view of the field and see where you stack up compared to your opponents. You must cross the finish line faster than others to score more points. There are also some collectibles that you can grab across the field that offer additional points and rewards. You can risk going a bit out of your way to grab these, but you will need to cross the finish line within two minutes to move on to the next round.

What Is BO6 Pentathlon LTM?

Multiple Rotating Game Modes

Characters from Squid Game in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Black Ops 6’s Pentathlon mode is a rotating list of alternative game modes like Kill Confirmed. The Squid Game 2 crossover has added two new modes to the rotation, titled Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch and Roulette. Both modes are basically typical Call of Duty game modes with a small Squid-Game-inspired twist. Players who don’t want as big of a departure from traditional CoD gameplay will probably prefer these modes over Red Light, Green Light.

The first new Pentathlon mode is called Roulette which features a unique new weapon. This mode gives you a Roulette Handgun which can be used to eliminate any opponent in one shot for double the points. However, each time you pull the trigger, a Roulette Handgun has the chance to backfire and take you out instead.

Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch starts out like any ordinary TDM, but each time a player is eliminated, it adds to the payout from a Mega Piggy Bank. At a certain point, the Mega Piggy Bank will spawn on the map, and teams will have to fight for control of it to earn extra points. This adds some point-control elements to a normal Deathmatch and also incentivizes players to rack up a lot of kills early on to increase the payout.

Squid Game Moshpit Explained

Squid Game Moshpit isn’t too different from the typical Moshpit mode, but it adds in some elements from the new Pentathlon modes. During Moshpit games, a Roulette Handgun will drop somewhere on the map. It functions the same as in the Roulette mode, but the wielder also gets a permanent UAV. Eliminated players will also sometimes drop a Piggy Bank that offers bonus points, and the Mega Piggy Bank will spawn similarly to in the dedicated Piggy Bank mode.

Moshpit also adopts some aspects of Red Light, Green Light mode with the new scorestreak reward. The Red Light, Green Light scorestreak forces all enemy players to stop moving. Any player who disobeys may be eliminated, so they will have to gamble which is riskier: standing still on an active battlefield, or risk getting killed by the scorestreak reward.

Dead Light, Green Light Zombies Mode

New, Brutal Rules For Zombies

Dead Light, Green Light plays like a normal Call of Duty Zombies game, but each match is segmented into three rotating sections. During a Green Light, you earn extra Essence from each zombie you kill. This means you can earn better rewards more quickly than usual.

During the Red Light section, if you move, your stored Essence steadily drained. Since it’s hard to stand still for too long in Zombies, you will likely lose at least some of your spending power. You will therefore want to be spending your Essence when you can to make sure you don’t lose it when a Red Light comes.

The third section is Dead Light, during which stronger enemies spawn. This makes it even more important that you are earning and spending as much Essence as you can during a Green Light, because getting too far behind is even more punishing when the Dead Light starts. This adds an interesting new dynamic to Zombies and keeps things fresh for players who have already mastered the base game mode.

Squid Game In Warzone

Squid Game in Warzone is less about faithfully recreating any single challenge from the show and more of a spiritual adaptation. Throughout a Squid Game match, squads will have to compete in a series of challenges. The squads who do the worst in these challenges are eliminated, making them very high-stakes mini-games.

From time to time, a Red Light, Green Light challenge will also be triggered for the entire match. Just like in the dedicated Red Light, Green Light mode, you will be forced to stop moving during a Red Light, or else be eliminated. These new additions add an extra layer of tension to the typical Call of Duty Warzone match, which can be a breath of fresh air. Even if you are camping and avoiding a lot of the action, you'll still need to prove yourself in challenges to stay in the game.
