Overview of Kill Order in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Kill Order is a new multiplayer mode introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, designed to provide a fresh twist on traditional gameplay. This mode emphasizes strategic team play, focusing on a designated High Value Target (HVT) for each team.

Mode Details

Team Size: 1-6 Players

Kill Order is a brand-new Multiplayer Mode in the Call of Duty sphere and is a unique way to look at team-based play. The strategy and choice that comes into play during a match of Kill Order is incredibly important and will be the deciding factor in whether or not your team is victorious. When will you choose to attack and when will you choose to defend the armored High Value Target, or HVT?

Kill Order is a respawn mode. So after an HVT has been eliminated, a new Operator will become the HVT after a short time. It’s important to note that the HVT switch isn’t instantaneous. Attempting to finish an attack on the enemy HVT or earning a bit of score after your friendly HVT has been eliminated from the remaining attackers is possible and encouraged before the switch.

Operator Brief

Two teams are comprised of five standard Operators and one HVT at any given time, all with their own normal Loadouts. Players will flow between attacking the enemy HVT and defending their own, or each team might choose to play a hybrid strategy and have part of their team attacking while the rest defend. The objective is to reach the score limit before the other team, and there are several ways to do that.

Match Win Condition

In public matches, the first team to reach 125 points will win the match. To score points, each team will need to earn kills, however, it’s important to understand that not every kill is equal. Here’s the breakdown of how points are scored.

Gameplay Mechanics

• Team Composition: Kill Order is played in a 6v6 format, where each team has one HVT.
• Scoring System:
  • Players earn points for eliminations, but killing the enemy’s HVT yields the most points.
  • The scoring breakdown is as follows:
    • Regular operator kills: 1 point
    • HVT kills: 2 points
    • Killing an enemy HVT: 5 points
• HVT Characteristics:
  • The HVT is marked on the map and has enhanced abilities, including:
    • Extra armor (three armor plates that replenish over time)
    • A constant UAV that reveals enemy positions
• Role Dynamics: When an HVT is killed, a new HVT is randomly assigned, requiring teams to adapt their strategies quickly.

Strategic Elements

The mode encourages players to balance between offensive and defensive tactics. Teams must protect their HVT while attempting to eliminate the opposing team’s target. This creates a dynamic where players must constantly assess whether to attack or defend based on the current state of the game.

Key Terms and Definitions

HVT

Otherwise known as the High Value Target, this is the player that must always be protected during a match. Eliminating the HVT will score the most points for the team that does so. The HVTs are indicated on both team’s HUD and their location can always be seen during a match.

HVT Survival

As the HVT, you don’t gain any match score for surviving, but the longer you survive, the fewer points the enemy team can gain. Seeing “HVT Survival” means you are gaining personal score and team contribution, which will help you earn XP and possibly a spot in the Winner’s Circle.

HVT Kill

Participating in the elimination on the HVT will earn you Match Score and support your team, but only the final blow will count toward the Team Score.

Kill as HVT

Earning kills while you’re the HVT will score two points for your team rather than one regular kill. Doing so is more dangerous, but if you’re able to defend yourself, you will be rewarded with some more personal score. Kills from the HVT’s are indicated in the kill feed by the shield that appears next to the HVT’s name.

HVT under fire

If you hear someone say “HVT under fire,” it means your team’s HVT has been hit and it’s time to defend them. If you’re too far, this might be time to attack the enemy HVT, but be sure to read the battlefield.

Hostile HVT Located

When the enemy HVT is killed, a new one won’t spawn right away, so you have some time to collect your team and strategize until you hear the words “hostile HVT located.” Once you hear those words, pay attention to your HUD and plan to attack them accordingly.

Variants and Future Updates

There will also be a Face Off variant of Kill Order, which will feature smaller maps and disable scorestreaks, making for more intense and frenetic gameplay. This variant maintains the core mechanics but alters the environment to enhance close-quarters combat .

Conclusion

Kill Order aims to add depth to the Call of Duty multiplayer experience by shifting focus from general eliminations to strategic targeting of specific players. As players adapt to this new mode, it may evolve into a staple within the franchise, offering both excitement and tactical challenges .
