Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Hardpoints Guide

Gunfight mode is a very popular gameplay mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s multiplayer mode. Here is some important information and strategy guide about Gunfight mode:
Gunfight Mode Overview

  1. Game Rules
    2v2 Battle: Gunfight mode is a 2-on-2 match where players use preset weapons and equipment to fight each other.
    No Respawn: In each round, players cannot be revived after being knocked down, and teams need to eliminate opponents or complete objectives within a limited time.
  2. Map Design
    Small Maps: Gunfight mode maps are usually small and designed for fast engagements and tactical movement. Each map adopts a three-lane structure, allowing players to choose different attack routes.
    Environmental Interaction: Maps may have interactive elements or environmental obstacles that can be used to gain tactical advantages.
    Tactical Advice
    a. Teamwork
    Communication is crucial: Maintain good communication with teammates and share enemy locations and tactical plans through voice chat or the tag system.
    b. Weapon Selection
    Get familiar with the preset weapons: Weapons are randomly assigned at the beginning of each round. Knowing the characteristics and best use of each weapon can help you gain an advantage in battle.
  3. Movement Skills
    Flexible Movement: Utilize the full range of movement system to quickly slide, jump, and turn to avoid enemy attacks.

Utilize Cover: Always seek cover to protect yourself and use the environment for tactical movement.

  1. Combat Strategy
    Control the rhythm: Stay calm in the early stages of the game, observe the enemy’s movements, and look for opportunities to counterattack.

Diversify tactics: Adjust your strategy according to the opponent’s style. For example, if the opponent likes close combat, you can choose a long-range weapon to strike.

Advanced Tactics Guide
Packing Hardpoints
In Hardpoint mode, only one team member needs to stand on the scoring point for the team to score points. Therefore, in most cases, the entire squad does not have to gather in a small scoring area, as this will only affect the efficiency of scoring combos or multi-kills. Packing hardpoints will become very effective if the hardpoint provides enough cover. Before deploying the entire squad to a hardpoint, pay attention to the size of the hardpoint so that you can better judge whether it is suitable for use as a defensive position.
Fight for “Scrap Time”
“Scrap Time” refers to the last few seconds on an active hardpoint. If the entire squad is rotating to the next hardpoint and the game is close, try to fall back and grab the last few seconds on the last hardpoint. Over time, these seconds add up and can be the difference between winning and losing.
Chalk One, Get Next
Another common competitive strategy is to avoid wasting resources (life and time) attacking a hardpoint that the enemy is defending. Move on and build a better defense for the next hardpoint.
Stick to One Combo
The importance of teamwork cannot be overstated. Playing with a team that understands your style or works well with you is crucial and is the first strategy to succeed in Hardpoint. Whether it’s finding new teammates or taking advantage of the in-game social features, try to play with the same team consistently. Coordinating tactics and practicing is key.
Set Up for Success
Victory not only relies on good rotations, but also requires the entire team to figure out the best way to defend each hardpoint, explore the surrounding environment, and find the best position to defend against enemies.
Anchor Spawn
Respawn points intelligently rotate based on the player’s position on the map. It’s important to stay alert and take advantage of this mechanic while in a Hardpoint. When targeting a specific Hardpoint, pinning yourself or your teammates to a side of the map where you don’t want your opponents to respawn is an effective strategy. By mastering these tactics, you can achieve better performance, teamwork, and win rates in Hardpoint in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
