In Black Ops 6, you can shout into your enemies’ ears via voice chat when they use you as a living shield

In Black Ops 6, you can use an enemy as a human shield and exchange favors with your opponent at the same time.

How can you shout in your opponents’ ears? In Black Ops 6, you can use an enemy as a human shield that will absorb your opponents’ bullets and unintentionally save your life. Now, shortly before the start of the Black Ops 6 beta, Treyarch has revealed that you can communicate with your opponents when using this function.

When a player uses another player as a living shield, this activates voice chat between the victim and the perpetrator. It doesn’t matter if you are the hostage-taker or the hostage, in both cases you can talk to your opponent.

You can see what this interaction might look like in the game in the Black Ops 6 multiplayer trailer:

The open voice chat between hostage-taker and hostage could lead to some funny moments, but it also offers the potential for inappropriate and toxic behavior. The developers therefore write in their post on X.com: “Be nice.”

The community senses cool content and toxicity

What do the players say about this? Many players really like the idea and hope that it will result in entertaining content:

  • “This is the best thing I’ve ever read in my life. That’s why Treyarch are the GOATs [die größten aller Zeiten].“ – X.com
  • “This is going to be a content goldmine and I’m absolutely ready for it.” – via X.com
  • “This will produce some of the greatest clips ever.” – via X.com
  • “Imagine you grab a round of SnD [Suchen und Zerstören] an opponent and whisper sweet nothings in his ear while mowing down his teammates.” – via X.com
  • However, other players also fear that this feature could cause a lot of insults and toxic behavior:

  • “I can’t wait to be held hostage while being called the ‘F’ word 1,000 times.” – via X.com
  • “This is going to be extremely toxic, I can’t wait to see the clips” – via X.com
  • But some players are simply negative about Call of Duty and condemn users who think the feature is cool or are looking forward to Black Ops 6.

    Treyarch really has big plans for Black Ops 6 and seems to be pulling the right screws to get the community excited about the game. The beta will perhaps show us whether the shooter can really live up to the expectations.

    One change that Treyarch is bringing to Call of Duty with Black Ops 6 concerns the unlocking of new camouflages. You don’t have to level up your weapons if you want to unlock skins. Instead, you now have to complete certain tasks: Black Ops 6 makes major changes to the weapons so that you can get cool skins even faster
