Afraid of Spiders? Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Accessibility Features Have You Covered
In Black Ops 6, we’re launching asymmetrical hearing compensation, an improved high contrast mode, updating the accessibility settings menu, et de plus. All the familiar accessibility features that were available in Modern Warfare III will also be available in Black Ops 6, like graphical adjustment options to reduce motion blur and joystick setting options. Read on for more info on new accessibility updates and features coming to Black Ops 6.
Introducing Asymmetrical Hearing Compensation Settings
Black Ops 6 is proud to be the first Call of Duty game to launch asymmetrical hearing compensation settings, which allows players with asymmetrical hearing loss to create a custom audio profile and adjust audio settings for each ear. Created with veterans and players with hearing loss in mind, asymmetrical hearing compensation audio settings will now be individually customizable for each ear. In addition to the new asymmetrical hearing compensation settings, Black Ops 6 will continue to support the option for players to “Reduce Tinnitus Sound,” which replaces sounds made from Concussion and Flash Grenades with a duller sound.
Customizable High Contrast Settings
High Contrast Mode was first introduced in Modern Warfare III in Campaign only, giving players the option to highlight allies and enemies during gameplay. In Black Ops 6, High Contrast Mode has been expanded and advanced and is now available in both Campaign and Zombies. Players will now be able to customize the color outline of allies and enemies, allowing players with vision impairment and color blindness to tailor their player experience even more. Players will also be able to enable a “Dark Background” setting in High Contrast Mode, which further adds contrast from the background elements to assist with low vision.
Intelligent Movement
Newly introduced in Black Ops 6, Intelligent Movement allows players to customize four elements for how Operators move through the landscape. The suite of customizable movement includes Sprint Assist, Mantle Assist, Crouch Assist, and Corner Slice, which may help players with mobility issues reduce inputs by allowing options to minimize and customize button and stick processes.

HUD Presets
Another newly introduced feature in Black Ops 6 is the ability to adjust your gameplay HUD with a variety of Layout presets, as well as color adjustment options for your minimap. Layouts give players options to customize the HUD for optimal playing. For players who wish to reduce visual clutter or find that checking the minimap takes their eyes away from enemies, try the Target Tracker or Central Command presets. Play around and experiment with whichever preset works best for your play.
Arachnophobia Settings
For the first time in Black Ops 6 Zombies, a new arachnophobia toggle feature will be available. This setting will allow players to change the appearance of spider-like enemies in Zombies without affecting their game play.
Pause and Save in Zombies
Also newly arriving to Black Ops 6 Zombies is the ability in Solo matches to pause, save, and load into games (while in full health). With the return of Round-Based Zombies, gameplay is guaranteed to be fast-paced and intense, so providing the ability to pause or save a Solo game and return later can make all the difference in gameplay for some players.
Accessories
Both the Xbox Adaptive Controller and Sony Access Controller will work out of the box with Black Ops 6.
Jump into the game on October 25th and explore all the accessibility features and updates.
