Key things
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's “The Hit List” event offers rewards for completing a community challenge.
- Unlocking the 9mm Sirin requires the community to reach 50 billion eliminations.
- The current pace of players suggests they may be lagging behind, but there is a Cash Bandit pack with a weapon plan.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 “The Hit List” event is now live. It offers players the opportunity to unlock new weapons, perks and cosmetics by completing a community challenge – get as many eliminations as possible.
The event's top prize, the Sirin 9mm, is a special class weapon that players can unlock if the community reaches 50 billion eliminations, a tall order in less than two weeks of work.
This means that, in theory, unless players team up to achieve a total elimination of 50 billion, the weapon will remain locked forever. But Activision being Activision, the company still sells a bundle that offers a blueprint for a weapon that may never be unlocked.
The Cash Bandit, Debt Collector Sirin 9mm Blueprint
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's “The Hit List” event, players will earn eliminations in the following ways:
- Multiplayer: Get one elimination per kill.
- Zombies: Get one elimination per five kills.
- war zone: Get five eliminations per kill.
At the time of writing, roughly six days after the event, players have earned around 20 billion eliminations. That works out to about 3.3 billion eliminations per day. This means that at the current rate, the event will likely end up with players missing the Sirin 9mm with somewhere between 46 and 48 billion eliminations. That's assuming Activision is tracking it properly.
This means that at the current rate, the action will likely end up with players missing the Sirin 9mm.
Although it doesn't look good, the clever people at the studio have found a way to extract some money from the players, allowing them to guarantee that they will unlock the weapon, at least for themselves, by putting the blueprint for it in a new unlocked volume.
The irony doesn't seem to have been lost on Activision, as the new Sirin 9mm plan is called “Debt Collector” and is available as part of the Cash Bandit bundle, which includes the Raccoon Operator skin and some other rewards for 2,800 COD points. . The Debt Collector is a reactive plan with 'Make It Rain' stopwatches and an annoying death animation that sees players flock to wads of money.
It remains unclear if Treyarch is actually preventing Call of Duty players from unlocking the weapon, or if they are fudging the numbers to ensure that every player gets it no matter what. But whatever happens, this latest move is sure to be met with some cynicism.
Forced to go thief. They hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 1990s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as the sole superpower. With a stunning narrative and unfettered rules of engagement, this is quintessential Black Ops.
Black Ops 6's campaign offers dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that spans different game spaces with spectacular backdrops and action moments, high-stakes heists, and stealth-and-dagger espionage.
In a best-in-class multiplayer experience, players will test their skills on 16 new maps at launch, including 12 base 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, a fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand new maps at launch. After launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and game-changing multiplayer and zombie experiences.
