Toying with death
In previous Call of Duty titles, when you kill an enemy, they react to taking damage based on the Hit Zone you struck them in. Determining the animation you see upon elimination was based on the location of the shot and amount of damage dealt. In Black Ops 6, there will be nine Hit Zone regions, compared to just the four we have seen in the past. With more places to target, there will be more visual takedowns to make deaths extra realistic.
Activision has provided the following example, demonstrating how this will work. “Now it can be determined if an enemy was shot in the left or right leg and play a bespoke death animation related to the shot. Or, if an Operator takes a high caliber sniper round to the right arm as they’re sprinting, that appendage will snap back and spin them around as the weight of the body carries forward as they collapse to the ground”
We will see first-hand how adjusted Hit Zones work in Black Ops 6 during the beta. The dates for this are yet to be announced, so make sure to stay tuned for more updates.
