Key Takeaways

For some strange reason, it seems like you get XP for giving your teammates grief in Black Ops 6.
-
Players report earning points even after being killed by a teammate's flashbang, friendly fire, or even a smoke bomb.
For some strange reason, your flashbang team member Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 appears to be giving away XP.
YouTube user Expel posted a clip on Twitter of him throwing multiple flashbangs down a hallway, raking in XP just before a perfectly timed 'DEFEAT' card lands on the screen.
“Do whatever you want with this information,” they captioned the tweet. It's probably (hopefully) not intentional, but for now you might want to keep a close eye on gripers who utilize this 'tactic'.
The commenter claims it doesn't end with a flashbang. One answer says “If you throw a cigarette and die in your own smoke, you'll also get XP” (or if your teammate dies), while another response claims you get a headshot medal for friendly fire. One commentator even believes that friendly fire contributed to the camouflage work. Let's not test it.
Feeling sad may give you a small increase in XP, but it may prevent you from winning many matches as you destroy yourself.
Forced to become a rogue. 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 90s, a time of transition and upheaval in world politics, including the end of the Cold War and the emergence of the United States as a single superpower. With an engrossing story and no rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 campaign delivers dynamic, moment-to-moment gameplay with blockbuster set pieces and a variety of play areas featuring action-packed moments, dangerous heists, and cloak-and-dagger espionage.
In a best-in-class multiplayer experience, players will test their skills on 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 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 that sees players take down hordes of the undead across two new maps at launch. After launch, players can expect even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences for both multiplayer and zombies.
