Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's thrilling new game mode, Red Light, Green Light, takes inspiration from Netflix's hit series, Squid Game. Players compete to be the last one standing in Young-hee's deadly game. This mode perfectly captures the show's suspense and high-stakes tension, complete with the infamous lethal consequences for rule-breakers.
Gameplay mirrors the show's iconic challenge, demanding precision, timing, and strategic thinking. This guide provides a complete walkthrough and tips to help you dominate your opponents.
How to Play Red Light, Green Light in BO6
To begin, select the "Red Light, Green Light" playlist from the main menu. The objective is simple: survive each wave by reaching the opposite side of the playing field. Freeze completely when Young-hee stops singing and turns around. Only move when she sings again with her back to you.
Early rounds are relatively straightforward. However, later rounds introduce blue squares that, when collected, grant you a knife to eliminate other players. This adds a layer of intense, strategic combat. Golden piggy banks scattered across the map offer bonus XP, accelerating your progress toward event rewards.
Tips and Tricks for Red Light, Green Light Mastery
Surviving Young-hee's gaze requires absolute stillness. If using a controller, check for stick drift (where the joystick registers input without being touched). This can be adjusted in the controller settings under "Dead Zone." Aim for a value between 5 and 10 (or higher, depending on your controller). Also, remember to mute your microphone; any detected sound is interpreted as movement.
Patience is paramount. Don't rush. Verify your stillness using the on-screen indicator before Young-hee turns. While tempting to push your progress during the singing phase, avoid cutting it too close – unexpected movement leads to elimination.
Success in Black Ops 6's Red Light, Green Light relies on precise timing and careful preparation. Ensure your controller is calibrated correctly, your microphone is muted, and avoid predictable movement patterns (like running in a straight line) to avoid becoming an easy target. Master these strategies, and victory will be yours.
