Every Black Ops 6 multiplayer map

Call of Duty players are being treated to a brand-new multiplayer experience in Black Ops 6, complete with overhauled movement, the return of the classic Prestige system, and 16 multiplayer maps split between 12 core and four Strike maps.

The core maps are traditional 6v6 battlegrounds. Some will be “fast, frenetic experiences,” while others will be medium-sized to support Hardcore and slower-paced matches. The remaining four are smaller Strike maps which can be played in chaotic 6v6 or as 2v2 playlists.

The roster of maps is set to increase drastically post-launch, with new arrivals in each major seasonal update, just like MW3.

The beta gave players a shot of only some of the new maps, so here’s a look at all of Black Ops 6’s maps arriving with its October 25th launch.

All BO6 core maps

Skyline (Medium)

Activision

Skyline is set in Avalon (rumored to be the next Warzone map after Verdansk) and sees players duke it out on the rooftops of a luxury resort.  Although mostly featuring close-range fights, players always fight across the wide-open areas surrounding the pool. 

Getting from one side of the map to the other is extremely tough, but you can take the underground route to the panic room for some sneaky flanks. Players have mostly liked this map with it often regarded as the best from the beta period.

Scud (Medium)

Activision

Set in Iraq in 1991, Scud takes place in the aftermath of a missile strike on a military base. The broken satellite dish is the map’s most prominent feature and the main power position as you can see almost all of the action. 

There are also some underground areas and trenches to move around in but generally, the team that holds the Satellite will dominate the killfeed. 

Rewind (Medium)

Activision

Rewind brings players to a strip mall at the edge of Liberty Falls in West Virginia – also the setting of one of BO6’s Zombies launch maps. 

With long lines of sight at either side and a chaotic interior for close-range fights, you can bring whatever weapon or playstyle and you can make something work. Snipers and LMGs thrive in the parking lot and back alley on either side of the building, but something like the Tanto .22 will tear through anyone inside the video rental store in the center. 

Babylon (Small)

Activision

Babylon is the smallest map in Black Ops 6’s beta and although bigger than Shipment, it serves a similar purpose – nonstop action. Taking place in ancient ruins, there are plenty of little nooks and crannies to navigate. 

No matter where you spawn, you’ll only be a second or two away from getting in a fight. This led to a lot of frustration with the map in the Open Beta, but expect spawns to get adjusted ahead of launch. 

Derelict (Small)

Activision

Set in an abandoned train graveyard in the Appalachian mountains, Derelict focuses on close-range fights among all of the broken-down train cars.

If you can master Omnimovement you’ll be a force to be reckoned with, as you can dive in and out of the train cars and keep enemies guessing. Or, you can set up in the tower with an LMG, AR, or Sniper and pick players off from a distance.

Protocol (Medium)

Activision

Although it wasn’t a fully playable map, Protocol was in the beta as the Training Area. This island off the coast of Avalon features ruined structures, artillery, an underground bunker, and building interiors that’ll provide some high ground. 

Vault (Medium)

Activision

Vault looks to be taken from Black Ops 6’s campaign, where the devs said you’ll infiltrate an “old sewer system underneath an opulent casino in southern Europe.” 

This seems to be the aftermath of the heist where the vault door is blown open and the area is flooded, likely meaning water and swimming will play a large part. 

Lowtown (Medium)

Activision

Lowtown is set in a bright and sunny, although wartorn, town that looks like Southern Europe. Canals and bridges weave between the buildings so expect gameplay similar to Warzone’s Vondel where the water can be used for a quick getaway.

Redcard (Medium)

Activision

This medium-sized map is set in a football (soccer) stadium in Europe, with the signs and banners written in French. The fictional Avalon area is in the Mediterranean so it could be set there.  

Vorkuta (Medium)

Activision

Vorkuta is an area that should be familiar to long-time Call of Duty fans, as it’s the Soviet prison where Mason and Reznov were held in the original Black Ops. This classic campaign level will return in Black Ops 6 as a playable 6v6 map. 

Payback (Small)

Activision

Payback appears to be set in the same mansion as the campaign’s Safe House. This abandoned seaside manor is a former KGB black site that becomes Woods and his team’s base of operations during Black Ops 6’s story. 

Subsonic (Small)

Activision

Set in what appears to be an American Air Force base in what’s most likely Iraq (considering the Gulf War setting and Scud also being set in Iraq), Subsonic sees players fight in and amongst hangers housing F-117 subsonic aircraft – hence the name. 

Nuketown (Small, post-launch)

Activision

The classic Nuketown map will arrive in Black Ops 6 after launch. Although it hasn’t been officially announced or revealed, we could see a dev loading into it during the official reveal. 

It will most likely arrive sometime between launch and the Season 1 update, similar to how Nuketown ‘84 came to Black Ops Cold War only a couple of weeks after it arrived. 

All BO6 Strike maps

Stakeout

Activision

Also set in Avalon, Stakeout is a small Strike map that sees players fight in an apartment. There are only a few rooms, so close-range weapons like SMGs and Shotguns will be your best friends here. 

A few closed doors will halt the action for the first few seconds but once the match kicks off properly, expect full-on chaos. 

Gala

Activision

Gala is around the same size as the other Strike maps but is much more open, with sparse areas without cover and long lines of sight. 

Controlling the roof of the circular lounge in the center of the charity-event-turned-warzone is key to success, but you can also go around the edge of the map to get into the enemy’s spawn. 

Pit

Activision

Pit sees players fight it out in a claustrophobic mining tunnel in Russia. Although extremely close range and chaotic, there’s plenty of cover in the form of rocks and minecarts. 

Just watch out for grenades being launched down the tunnels toward your spawn, as well as the upper floor that each spawn side has a ladder up to. 

Warhead 

Activision

Previously called Sandhouse, Warhead is a destroyed version of Nuketown. Since it’s a Strike map, this won’t replace the map as a whole, most likely just a section of the map that’s been changed up with the destruction.
