In Black Ops 6, Nuketown is a familiar face for longtime Call of Duty fans. This map, rooted in the series since Black Ops 1 back in 2010, brings out the nostalgia while hiding surprises. Here’s a dive into some secrets hidden in Nuketown—mostly fun, some barely practical, but all worth knowing.
Let’s start with the yellow bus. See that door on the bus? Peek through it, and you’ll notice it lines up with the window of the yellow house. Punch a bullet through the door, and you might have a clear line of sight straight into the room. The glass shatters realistically, which could give you a split-second view of enemies who love hiding up there.
Now, here’s a sneaky trick: the yellow house has a working chimney. Yes, it sounds strange, but toss a cooked grenade down it, and it’ll explode right inside the house. Perfect? Not exactly, but it’s a thrill. If you’re playing Hardpoint and know an opponent is holed up by that fireplace, this could be the trick that clears them out.
With Black Ops 6 adding new movement features, fences on the map open up some tactical possibilities. Try hopping over these low barriers to get a jump on enemies who might be aiming down a predictable path. You’ll have a slight edge when ambushing opponents who camp in corners, confident they’re safe behind cover.
Ever tried the RC-XD track? Next to the garden bunker, there’s a tiny hole in the fence that leads to an entire back route for RC-XD cars. Steering through this hidden track gives you a stealthier approach for ambushes—ideal for avoiding the chaos in the map’s center.
Outside the yellow house, there are structures that look like trellises. Climb up these to gain a fresh vantage point. You’ll find similar setups by the green building, giving you multiple ways to access the windows. This variety means you can surprise campers who think they’ve covered all entry points.
One more cool detail? Inside the yellow house, there are bunk beds by the window. If you jump on these, you’ll get a view across to the other house, or even down into the garage. If you line up your shots just right, you can take out enemies on the move.
Finally, the vehicles in the center of the map offer their own utility. Grenades can be tossed under these vehicles to catch anyone hiding on the other side off-guard. It’s a small tactic but can be game-changing when someone’s got your team pinned from behind cover.
While most of these tricks won’t turn the tide in every match, they add layers of enjoyment to an iconic map. For newcomers drawn in by Game Pass, these tricks might be fresh. Even veterans could find something unexpected here, like the chimney grenade.
