Leaks Suggest "Sharpshooter" Mode May Return to Black Ops 6

If you've been playing Call of Duty for a while, you're likely familiar with the classic Party Games mode, Sharpshooter, first introduced in Black Ops and later featured in Black Ops II.

For those unfamiliar, Sharpshooter is a free-for-all mode where six players compete using randomly selected weapons. Rounds last 45 seconds before switching to a new weapon, with matches lasting 5 minutes and 15 seconds and cycling through seven weapons.

Players earn perks for consecutive kills, have infinite ammo, and face unpredictable weapon rotations, ensuring fast-paced and dynamic gameplay. With the new arsenal of weapons, perks, and Black Ops 6's Omnimovement mechanics, Sharpshooter could easily become a fan-favorite if reintroduced.

While this remains unconfirmed, Black Ops 6 has been revisiting older modes and ideas, so the return of Sharpshooter seems plausible. We'll keep you updated with any developments about its possible arrival. Stay tuned!
