A Call Of Duty fan has discovered a Nuketown Easter egg in Black Ops 6.

Key Takeaways

  • One of the best parts of the return to Black Ops is the return of Nuketown.

  • The fan-favorite map returns in Black Ops 6 with a more back-to-basics approach.

  • That said, it still retains the previously hidden Easter eggs.

  • In this year's iteration, the mannequins come to life in a very horror-inspired theme.

It wouldn't be a Black Ops game without the fan-favorite map, Nuketown. With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 officially released worldwide, Treyarch has gone back to basics for this retro-inspired iteration of the zone. In fact, this year's Nuketown map is strangely reminiscent of the map from the original Black Ops, providing some much-needed nostalgia.

Black Ops 6's Season of the Hunt is heavily inspired by Naughty Dog.

The “wide linear” design that gave us some of the best levels in Uncharted and The Last of Us has been brought to COD.

In other words, it wouldn't be Nuketown without some sort of Easter Egg, just as it wouldn't be a Black Ops game without Nuketown. And with Season 01 officially live, this year's Nuketown Easter Egg has also gone live. And it didn't take long for fans to find out.

mannequins have eyes

First of all, the Easter egg appears to only trigger when playing a private game of Infected in Nuketown, but it may work if you enter a public lobby. From there, it's as easy as shooting the heads of every mannequin on the map. Only then will the Easter egg begin to kick in.

From there, a retro-inspired TV screen appears with the tagline “Loss signal, standby”, swapping the game's high-end graphics for a more gritty feel. But that's not all.

That mannequin you destroyed? Well, they will come to life and start attacking the player. Oh, and there's also a bleacher section of other mannequins watching your friends take you down. If you try to shoot at the crowd, the crowd will not only start taunting you but will also start firing flash grenades.

Once the Easter egg is activated, the game becomes a battle for survival against the numerous mannequins that fill the map. According to one YouTuber, the game may crash when hit, but it's unclear whether this is a bug or part of the intended experience. Either way, be careful whatever you do in Nuketown, because those mannequins are always watching.
