Key Takeaways

  • A Black Ops 6 player encountered a bug, appearing to lose 51,921 XP in multiplayer.
  • A visual glitch in the post-match screen, but no actual XP loss or demotion.



A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player has encountered a very weird bug in multiplayer that appears to “demote” them with huge XP losses. Many gamers out there are already on the grind to max Prestige in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and getting demoted by the game would definitely prove frustrating to say the least.

It’s still very early in Black Ops 6‘s lifespan, so it’s only natural that gamers are finding new bugs in the game at this initial stage. Even with the game’s open beta a short while ago, Treyarch and Raven Software haven’t been able to iron out all the glitches quite yet. Just recently, another gamer found a very problematic Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 bug that allows players to see through flashbangs. It’s not hard to imagine why this could prove to be a huge problem, especially in competitive matches. At the moment, Treyarch seems to be releasing small daily patches for the game to catch these early problems.

A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies player online notices a bizarre falling bodies Easter egg on one of the new maps, Liberty Falls.

In a clip posted online by Redditor Otherwise_Road4909, a post-match screen awards the player with -51,921 XP. The XP wheel spins faster than it can keep up with, and it looks extremely strange. Gamers in the thread were quick to crack jokes about the situation, with one offering some very simple advice, “Get good,” while others hilariously insinuated that Otherwise_Road4909 had played so badly in their previous game that it had no choice but to demote them like this. It isn’t clear what Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer mode they were playing to get this glitch in the first place.


Black Ops 6 Fake “Demotion” Bug


Luckily, it’s not all bad news for the player. This “demotion” is a visual glitch with the post-match progression screen. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 hasn’t actually stolen over 50,000 XP from the player, and they haven’t lost any levels as a result of the issue. They’ll be Prestiging in Black Ops 6 in no time. Some users theorized about what could have caused the problem, with one interesting theory. The post was initially made when the game was only available in New Zealand timezones. Players could change their system time to match New Zealand and play the game early, and one in the thread who did so reported seeing the same bug. They said they “thought it was punishment for visiting New Zealand.”


There’s evidently still a fair amount to fix for Black Ops 6, even if much of the game’s reception has been positive this year. Some Black Ops 6 players are frustrated with multiplayer respawn points, which has been a tough balancing act for any Call of Duty developer over the years. Still, the game is solid at launch, offering hope for a great year of action ahead.
