As Call of Duty Black Ops 6 approaches, players are becoming increasingly specific about their expectations for the game. This expectation extends to the return of Zombies, the iconic mode that many are eager to see again. Fans are especially calling for the return of a classic Zombies feature: the Crawlers.
If you’ve played previous Zombies modes, you’ll understand why players are nostalgic for these creatures. Let’s briefly explore why fans are eager to see Crawlers make a comeback in Black Ops 6 and where this request is coming from.
Fans Demand The Crawlers Return In Black Ops 6 Zombies
Crawlers were first introduced in the original Black Ops and became notable for their unique and useful behavior. When killed, Crawlers would flip onto their backs, curl up, and explode, dealing damage to any players within their blast radius. This feature was highly valuable for players looking to clear hordes of enemies, upgrade their gear, or search for Easter eggs.
One thing they should bring back to BO6 Zombies is the ability to save a crawler. When they changed it and they started dying after a few minutes it really made our easter egg hunting lives a living hell. #BlackOps6 Zombies pic.twitter.com/l8NweuLqR9

However, Crawlers were later modified, with the change being that they would now die after a few minutes instead of remaining active until killed. Fans are now eager for the return of Crawlers in Black Ops 6. This sentiment has been echoed by popular Zombies mode player "Glitching Queen," who took to X to advocate for their comeback—a request that has gained significant traction among the community.
As they stated in their post, "When they changed it and they started dying after a few minutes, it [really] made our Easter egg hunting lives a living hell," said Glitching Queen. Others echoed this sentiment, with one commenter adding, "I want the BO1 Crawlers back. The ones that, no matter how many times or how far away you got, they never died or respawned, EVER!"
While we agree that the return of Crawlers - especially the static ones from previous Black Ops games - would be a fantastic addition to Black Ops 6, we currently have no confirmation or visual evidence from the developers regarding their inclusion. However, with Black Ops 6 Zombies set to return to the "classic" Zombies mode, there's hope that Crawlers might make a comeback.
We’ll keep a close eye on this and provide updates as soon as we hear any news about the return of Crawlers or other features that fans are hoping to see in Zombies. So be sure to bookmark our coverage and we'll see you all for the release of Black Ops 6.
